Therapists in Ontario

I am a passionate Psychotherapist registered with College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario. I obtained my Masters Degree in Psychotherapy after completing an undergrad at the University of Toronto and have been actively counselling clients from diverse backgrounds ever since.

I remain unbiased and culturally sensitive to clients of diverse backgrounds.

Do you feel stuck? Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? Uncomfortable symptoms and stress can often lead us to pause and re-evaluate our needs, or to go inward and connect with a deeper sense of ourselves. As humans we heal and grow best when we work together towards solutions and change, and counselling and psychotherapy can offer you the space to pause, reflect, and find solutions in moving forward from your current stressors by cultivating your path to True Care.

In my practice, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment in which my clients can work toward their goals. I employ evidence-based methods, meaning that I integrate current research findings with my clinical expertise to determine the most effective course of therapy. While my theoretical orientation is largely cognitive-behavioral (CBT), I also draw on solution-focussed, experiential, and humanistic approaches. My main areas of expertise include depression, anxiety problems, stress management, and anger management.

I intend to guide you to rediscover your strengths. My approach is inviting, open, inclusive, respectful, caring, and genuine. Together, we will go on a journey back to you feeling empowered while plotting various trails forward with purpose, with me as your ever-present, supportive, caring guide.

I also specialized in working with members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community.

I'm a graduate of the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counseling Program and a Registered Psychotherapist.

Living in a world that demands perfection is not easy. It can be extremely difficult and unforgiving to us human beings. When we experience negative emotions there is something deeper that is lurking beneath the surface. I am a humanistic therapist who puts the client's needs first.

I do not adhere to a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy as every individual is unique and deserves to be heard for who they are.

Are you afraid of feeling judged or misunderstood? My lived experience with addiction and mental health disorders brings a sense of allyship within the therapeutic setting. I believe that addiction is not the problem, instead, the problem is the problem.

Addiction can be in the form of substance use; or addiction to people, places or things. In addition to working privately, I provide psychotherapy for Addiction Rehab Toronto.

Accepting New Clients. When you find yourself going through a life transition, feeling anxious or depressed, or grieving a loss, you might feel confused and overwhelmed.

By developing greater self-awareness and practicing self-acceptance, you will begin to discover new ways to grow and strengthen as a person. When you know yourself better you can begin to intercept unhealthy patterns of living as they emerge.

In our lives, we often find ourselves stuck. We find it difficult to stop thinking, feeling, or behaving in ways that are no longer useful.
