Therapists in M6C

Hello and welcome! I'm a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist and I look forward to connecting with you. Searching for the right therapist can be a daunting task, especially when this is likely a vulnerable time in your life. I hope my profile can provide you with a bit of clarity and calm in your search. If we were to work together, my priority would be to build a trusting and genuine therapeutic relationship with you. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic space for self-exploration, processing difficult experiences/emotions, and working towards your goals. I also always encourage feedback from you along the way.

Navigating life's challenges can be difficult and reaching out for support is often the hardest step. I am here to provide a “safer”, caring and supportive space to you in your mental health journey. I step into the therapeutic space as a woman of colour and a psychotherapist. I recognize how the systems we exist in influence our lives and experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, intersectional, and anti-oppressive. In our sessions, I encourage exploration, offer support, and nurture fresh perspectives through gentle and creative methods.

I am dedicated to cultivating a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment for my clients. By meeting you with empathy and fostering a strong therapeutic connection, we can progress through your healing and growth journey together. Through a blend of curiosity and light-heartedness, we will delve into the depths of your psyche, emotions, and spirituality. I’d offer support and gentle guidance as you discover your innate capacity to heal and nurture both yourself and your relationships, ultimately empowering you to manifest your desires and fulfill your needs.

Accepting New Clients! I am an expert in the field of treating concerns surrounding sleep/insomnia. I have successful career experience working therapeutically with palliative patients and their caregivers to tackle grief, bereavement and caregiver burnout. I am also well renowned for working with relationship issues (using attachment theory), mood disorders (depression, anxiety), and dissociative disorders. Finally, I treat and work with self-esteem/worth, existential questions, burnout, life transitions, and other concerns. Yes that's a lot, but I just thinking helping people to heal is very neat, and so I have learned so much :).

We offer individual, couple, family & group counselling tailored to support positive, meaningful change and growth in your life. During your free phone consultation, we will carefully match you with one of our 40 counsellors, based on your needs and availability.

I believe that clients are the experts in their life and aim to act as a guide in helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I am passionate about working with clients from a holistic perspective that focuses on the interconnectedness of the whole being – the mind, body and soul. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, healing, integrative counselling approach by combining traditional talk therapy with alternative treatments, such as Breathwork, EFT Tapping/Thought Field Therapy, Mindfulness and Reiki Energy Healing modalities when appropriate.

I am an experienced psychotherapist and psychoanalytic candidate with a background of 20+ years in community based advocacy and counselling. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, collaborative, and trauma informed; prioritizing the development of a therapeutic relationship that fosters acceptance, trust and compassion. My approach considers relational patterns, formative experiences and relationships between social, cultural, and historical contexts and psychological well being. I currently have upcoming availability for individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
