Therapists in Toronto, ON

If you like your mental health services presented with a dash of nihilism by a nostalgic millennial who has experienced both ends of the depression and anxiety spectrum, I think we should talk.

Deciding to seek help is a powerful step toward better mental health. Through my experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I understand that difficulties may arise regardless of one's age or phase of life. From life challenges to transition periods (e.g., changing careers, schools, relationships), to traumatic experiences, it can be difficult to make sense of our selves or our directions. I am proud to support clients from all walks of life (inclusive of all gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, races, cultures, and relationship types) in achieving their own unique vision of success.

Congratulations on taking such an important step towards healing and personal growth! I look forward to providing you with a safe space to collaboratively explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. Together, we will explore and address the root causes of your concerns, enabling you to move towards an authentic and meaningful life. I am honoured to partner with members of LGBTQ+ and racialized communities and endeavour to understand how experiences of marginalization and oppression impact you and your loved ones. I am also passionate about supporting clients with ADHD or those who identify as neurodivergent in some capacity.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and rooted in values of diversity, anti-oppression, social justice, and personal growth, and is inclusive of all identities and expressions. I work with individuals and couples with the goal of helping them meet their goals for wellbeing and self-understanding. I work with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, situational stress or distress, emotional exploration, and difficulties in relationships.

I work with people who suffer from the effects of systematic racism and discrimination through art therapy. Racism in Canada is unfortunately very present and can be difficult to navigate for racialized communities. It takes a toll on our mental wellness and can be the source of anxiety, identity issues, depression, cultural disconnect, unmanageable anger, and trauma. Stigma towards mental illness creates barriers for individuals who need to seek out help, and in marginalized communities this stigma is especially harmful. I am an art therapist that works from a systems-based perspective and a client-centred approach.

How many nights do you spend doom-scrolling your phone because you’re too stressed to sleep? Maybe you’re burned out from always trying to get things perfect at work, school, home… well, everywhere, right? Yet your best never seems to be enough. Maybe you’re anxious, caught in a loop of racing thoughts and pounding heartbeats that keep you in a constant fight or flight response. Have you noticed things are getting “bad” again, and you feel dragged down by the relentless irritability, heaviness, or numbness of depression?
