EVE/WEEKEND availability (and regular office hrs) at our new office! — Stuck? Avoiding? Self-sabotaging your relationships & goals? I'd love to help you tap into the strongest, most authentic version of yourself so that you can live life the way you want to... however that is. Change is absolutely possible. I want to help you to be confident and unshaken by distress. For 14 years I've been helping clients with issues incl. depression, anxiety, relationship & interpersonal issues, stress, anger, body image, self-esteem, procrastination... I love this work and I'd be honoured to witness and support you in transforming your life.
I'll be my authentic self with you: I genuinely care, I don't judge, and I will give it my all. Therapeutic approaches will depend on your goals and preferences; I often draw from cognitive-behavioural, compassion-focused, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed approaches (including EMDR), mindfulness, and theories of attachment and childhood experiences.
Just hit "Send," and you've done the hardest part of this whole process. Then we'll take it from there. We're in this together. If I'm not the right fit for you, I can help by suggesting other therapists. (Services are covered by most insurance plans. Clients must reside in Ontario).

My associates and I draw from a few therapeutic approaches under the umbrella of "third wave"/holistic therapy. This type of therapy focuses on understanding the multiple aspects of who you are and the interplay of the different areas of your life, as opposed to a pathologizing approach which focuses on treating 'mental illness.' It's about fostering well-being, not just targeting symptoms.
