:) WELCOMING NEW CLIENTS - I offer 15-minutes FREE consultation call/ English & Spanish -- My style is down-to-earth and conversational - I believe in the innate strengths and resilience that lie in every person. In this manner, my clients and I work collaboratively exploring and fostering those strengths, while addressing current difficulties, to create meaningful change in their lives. I also believe that every person is unique and has different needs and preferences. For this reason, I offer tailored help to adults, seniors, and couples I have been seeing in the +5 years as a therapist.

With 14 years of experience as the head counsellor at The Michener Institute, I offer professional support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and family challenges. My use of both Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives me a wide range of options for support for both individual and couples. Gestalt focuses on the 'here and now,' our body experiences and childhood patterns and helps us be present in our relationships. CBT has been rigorously tested in over 1000 studies, and is a therapy that supports depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), panic and anxiety, phobias and stress.

I'm passionate about helping and connecting with others. My wealth of clinical and front line experience provides me with expertise and practical skills not possessed by most therapists. I view each client as an expert in their own lives, largely integrating their goals in counselling. My work is inspired by the science of neuroplasticity, thus I provide education about human behaviour and brain functioning to help clients make sense of their difficulties and see their challenges from a normalizing view. Many clients find this information to be helpful, hopeful, and empowering, as it gives us a roadmap for resolving their issues.

Are you seeking an experienced professional with a fresh approach to working with individuals facing mental health challenges? I'm a counsellor with a unique background (M.A. in Art Therapy, New York University) offering talk therapy to adults of all ages facing various life transitions, mental health and addiction difficulties, and/or who are dealing with trauma (both mild and complex).

Slowing down is a prerequisite to the conscious act of looking inwards. It is easy to seek distractions or take part in unhealthy habits when we are feeling unwell. It certainly isn’t as easy to seek help, to ask ourselves important questions, and demonstrate self-love. The way to self-love can have different meanings for each of us, depending on our life experiences. Perhaps it means self-compassion, forgiveness, relaxation, stress management, setting boundaries, or developing assertiveness. Putting the brakes on our busy lives and dedicating time to put ourselves first, can help. I welcome clients at any stage in this process.

As a Registered Psychotherapist working with couples and adults of all ages, I specialize in the treatment of trauma. Therapy provides an opportunity to discuss how symptoms such as: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, addictions, and emotional volatility, can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. Over and over I've witnessed people using therapy to feel safer in the world, more hopeful, and better able to reach their full potential in life, work, and in relationship with themselves and others. I am an experienced, empathic therapist and I collaborate to tailor therapy to meet each client's individual needs.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. Whether you're coming to therapy for the first time, returning after an absence, or searching for a new therapist, I'm here to meet you where you’re at now - ready to listen, free of judgment. You may be suffering from a difficult life event, feeling stuck, lonely, or a lack of excitement in your life. I want to offer you a space where you can feel whatever you're feeling and express what is difficult to say. We explore your patterns of thoughts and feelings and how they affect your relationships, your choices, and your sense of self. Together we work through what is happening for you.

When you first come in to therapy, you may be feeling depressed, ashamed, deadened, anxious or frozen. You may believe your problems are "too much" to share with someone else, or that somehow you "should" be able to be "self-sufficient". I will listen to you, assist you in accepting yourself and all your emotions, respectfully challenge you where you need another perspective, and offer you curiosity and connection where you feel deadened or stuck. If your goal is to gain more ease, flow and comfort in relating to yourself and others, I can help.

I am an Advanced Candidate in the fifth year of training with the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts. I approach this work with the understanding of inner life and its reality and with the acknowledgement of the individuality of our conflicts and purposes.

You are worth it! I want you to feel your best as a worker / student. I am passionate about working with trauma survivors to support you in being a thriver.

All welcome. Some spots available Thursdays & Fridays. Email to book free consultation.

I have devoted much of my time to building a fulfilling career working with families, children and adolescents. My approach to therapy is integrative in nature, and brings together both person-centered and cognitive therapies to help clients better understand their strengths, to implement solutions, and to improve the stability and happiness of the person, the family and or couple.

TRUE HEALTH COUNSELLING IS ABOUT RESTORING THE RESTFUL STATE IN YOUR SOUL SO THAT YOUR BODY CAN HEAL ITSELF. You are a soul that lives in your body, which is your home. When you feel more peaceful, relaxed, and graceful deep with yourself, your body will reflect that in health. We can either create or destroy ourselves at every moment, so let’s make each moment be healing, together. This holistic and unique body-based counselling focuses on healing deep-seated repressed stress, constantly putting the body in fight-or-flight, freeze, and fawn response – all of which destroy the body over time if not healed back to rest.

We all have natural capacities to right ourselves when things go wrong. But we usually don’t feel that way when we’re looking for therapy. Instead, we often feel stuck and alone, overwhelmed by our feelings and unsatisfied in our relationships. I work with people who want to get unstuck and connect to their innate capacities for growth and change. My main goal is to help you have a positive and true experience of yourself and deeper connections with others.

I work with clients who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, seeking to recover in individual therapy or group therapy.
