Therapists in Toronto, ON

Thank you for being here! I work with adults who may experience emotional and behavioural difficulties. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, depressive disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, racial trauma, grief and loss, and other relational problems. I also work with those who have experienced childhood trauma. In my work, I consistently and sincerely acknowledge the importance of the transgenerational impact of acculturation on our beliefs, worldviews, and sense of self. I genuinely believe that we are not broken, so we do not need "fixing;" instead, we work to be the self we want to be!

I specialize in assisting professionals grappling with addiction, anxiety, depression, and burnout. My clients seek to understand behavior patterns, process their past, and develop coping strategies for both immediate challenges and long-term personal growth. Through a client-centered, empathetic approach, I offer a safe space for emotional exploration and holistic growth, helping clients foster a healthier relationship with themselves and navigate their journey towards healing and self-discovery.

With over 10 years of strength and mindset coaching, I have come to see the value of combining the training of the mind and body. My approach as a therapist evolves from this, appreciating the uniqueness of each individual. As an athlete, I am fascinated by what we can do and how we can create our own story and journey. Providing culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive therapy is one of the key focuses of my practice. I have had a culturally rich upbringing that encouraged and fostered multiculturalism throughout my life and has furthered my curiosity and appreciation for diversity and inclusiveness.

Do you feel anxious often, reliving events from your past or worrying about the future? Perhaps you second-guess yourself, struggling with your own mental wellness, your relationships, or family stress. That’s a miserable way to live, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Even when things seem like they will never improve, know that you can create and experience a happier future for yourself. You deserve not only to feel better, but to wake up every morning ready to enjoy the day. I can’t make that happen for you, but I can be your guide and show you the way to find happiness for yourself.

You have tremendous power. The power to define your world, your relationships, your life. The power to be your true self. Yet, life can bring challenges that make us feel powerless. Passion can turn into doubt, fear, and anger. Love and joy can become pain and emptiness. For many of us, no single event alone changes us, but at some point, we find ourselves lost. I believe in the power of hope. I believe you can rediscover your strength, purpose, and sense of control. You can reclaim yourself—your courage, confidence, clarity, creativity, and compassion. I have hope that you can be who you want to be, no matter what comes your way.

We are a diverse team of over 40 licensed and experienced therapists! We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We help individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their heads that need to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

With extensive experience working with university and college students, emerging adults, members of marginalized communities, diverse newcomers, and coaching executives, I offer you a trained ear. Client issues include feeling stuck, mood issues, mind on overdrive, and managing transitions. Let us find ways to not only survive but also thrive in all areas of your life (school, career, community, family and so on). Clients can expect to develop acceptance, change behaviours, and use strengths to improve well-being.

For those feeling unfulfilled, stuck, not quite themselves, or struggling with emotional regulation, I welcome you. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, childhood sexual abuse, relational and developmental trauma, and personal relationships. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic, mindfulness, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and emotionally-focused approaches. I provide a space for clients that is free of judgment, inclusive, and empowering.

Welcome! I am committed to cultivating a nurturing relationship with clients that sees, affirms and honours individuals for who they are. All parts of you, including the parts that have been hurt, are welcome here. I believe that the human spirit is resilient, in spite of trauma, hardship, and struggle. You have the power to heal, and I am here to empower that spirit. As a client, you are in charge of your healing and are the sole authority of your lived experience. I offer you the freedom to set both the goals & the pace of our work together, and I intend to meet you where you are.

You’ve come looking for a therapist. Someone who helps you to feel safe, seen, and validated. Someone who sit with you when you feeling down, self-critical, vulnerable and all jittery inside.

There are several ways therapy can help but what makes therapy so special is that you can be authentic, not judged, and your story can be safety shared with another. I am here to hear your story, to help to understand your suffering, to give you tools and ways to understand your problem better. I am here to be a witness and hold space for your jittery feelings.

Our team of therapists have up to 30+ years experience supporting individuals, couples and families.

We are dedicated to breaking down barriers to mental health support and providing a safe, client-centred practice that promotes personal growth and well-being, tailored to the unique needs of each individual we serve. We believe that therapy should be easily accessible, allowing individuals to attend sessions from the comfort and security of their homes, workplaces, vacations, or when away for work.

Among all the things we want for ourselves, perhaps happiness tops the list for most. But life may not always turn out the way we expect, and that can hurt. There may be times when we feel stuck, angry, lost, confused, unhappy, or overwhelmed. What do we do then? In such times, I like to remind myself that “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional” (Haruki Murakami). This perspective offers us strength to move towards inner healing and positive change. Seeking therapy is brave work, and a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards the best version of yourself.

Reaching out for support can be difficult—I commend you for the courage to see what therapy can offer! As a person of colour and member of the LGBTQ+ communities, I have lived experience and special insight into what it’s like to navigate the unique challenges that come with intersectionality. I have a background in working with sexual health, resilience, wellbeing and challenges that uniquely affect intersecting persons of colour, gender and sexuality. I’m grateful to have supported many folx who went through a difficult time in their life, dealt with a mental health concern, or wanted to explore more about themselves.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship challenges, and career and workplace difficulties. I specialize in the treatment of childhood and intergenerational trauma. I can help you calm dysregulated nervous system responses, deepen your understanding of yourself, increase emotional awareness and improve emotional regulation, work with you to confront and shift self-limiting beliefs and response patterns, and help you cultivate self-acceptance and self-love.
