I believe that each one of us is the sum of all the journeys we have taken and all the people we have met along the way. We navigate peaks and valleys, traveling up or downstream. At different junctures in our lives, we find ourselves in an ‘in-between’ not knowing which path to take. It is through my own journey and the ones I have taken with others that I have come to bear witness to the strength, courage, and wisdom we each have within us. In my work with individuals, couples, children and youth, I explore challenges, crisis, loss and struggle within the context of one’s interpersonal relationships.

I am a registered psychotherapist with the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario and a Canadian Certified Counsellor. Also, I have an MPH and Ph.D. in Public Health with more than 15 years of public health academic and research experience to help my clients overcome their anxiety and mood concerns, relationship and attachment issues, trauma, cognitive, behavioural and life difficulties. My top priority is to be culturally competent, help you attain self-growth, live your authentic life again, and enjoy optimum performance and results.

We are a group of registered mental health professionals including a psychologist, social worker, and psychotherapist. Our priority is to provide clients with a safe and confidential space to better understand themselves and work through challenges. We offer evidence-based treatments including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness and Compassion based therapies, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) & Prolonged Exposure (PE).

My approach to therapy is Attachment and Interpersonal Neuroscience Based. Adult Attachment Theory (rooted in Attachment science) will uncover the ways our early attachment experiences in childhood, impact our relationships in adulthood. Interpersonal Neuroscience (rooted in Polyvagal Theory) focuses on the role of our nervous system, and why we respond to/interpret “threat” the way we do.

I work with children, youth, and families that experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, and learning disabilities. My clients struggle with self-esteem, difficult family events, bullying, navigating peer relationships, social skill development, and struggles with emotional regulation. I also work with caregivers to help them to manage with their children’s behaviours. I highlight teaching caregivers skills to help create spaces and lifestyles geared to fostering positive development. I support adult clients experiencing challenges with interpersonal relationship, family dynamics, stress management and life transitions.

My approach to therapy is empowering, compassionate, and focuses on assisting clients to gain insight in order to enhance their understanding of themselves and their situations. Together we explore possible ways to manage and relieve distress and suffering, and achieve lasting and meaningful change. Within the context of unconditional acceptance and non-judgement, this means clients can develop more adaptive ways of coping, relating to others, develop deeper connections, and be responsible and in control of themselves and their emotions.

I provide couples therapy and individual psychotherapy for adults. Connecting with you, understanding your needs and holding a safe space is my priority. I take being confided in very seriously and will protect your privacy and best interests. I work within my clinical skills and competencies to ensure you are met with professional guidance and standards. My goal is to empower you to develop insight, acceptance, confidence, and to help you to cultivate positive and lasting change.

As we work through our emotional pain and ruminating thoughts, I understand how it can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming, especially if we become disconnected from ourselves in the process. I believe that people often turn to therapy feeling “stuck,” and while it may feel as though our lives have hit a pause button, the world around us continues to move forward. Whether you are seeking to improve emotional regulation, strengthen interpersonal relationships, navigate unexpected life transitions, or if you simply find yourself without a clear understanding of the underlying issue, my goal is to create a comforting experience.

Having a trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming lens means helping clients explore how their unique experiences have affected their relationship with themselves, others and their future. My approach and training tailors best to those struggling with attachment-based trauma, management of executive dysfunction, regulation of emotion, social engagement and relationship conflict. I am currently seeing individuals and couples virtually across Ontario, or in-person out of our Bolton offices.

Feeling overwhelmed or lost? Feeling burnt out and misunderstood? Is your relationship stuck in the same dance no matter what you do? We understand how intimidating & difficult it can be to find a psychologist that can truly help.

We provide psychological therapy services for teens, adults, and couples (in-person and virtually). We specialize in treating depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma and abuse, anger, stress, family and relationship issues, perfectionism, postpartum support, self-esteem, and ADHD.

I support people navigating life challenges. In our busy world many of us are disconnected from ourselves and what we love more than ever before. Anxiety, depression, traumatic life events, burnout & more impact many I serve and these experiences are exacerbated by disconnection. We can return to connection through exploring our “personal", "familial" and “professional” lives that exist in a cycle of reciprocal influence. Together we can learn to navigate the flow of our experiences while reigniting individual passions & connections to invite optimal ways of being into your life!

I am a very enthusiastic, compassionate, and highly motivated self-directed health care professional with a physical disability committed to enhancing the well-being of individuals and families living with chronic illness and/or disability through clinical practice, education, and research at all phases of development, individually, and in collaboration with other stakeholders. I adhere to client-centred, and strength-oriented approaches to psychosocial assessment and counselling when working with these individuals. I am also cognizant of the impact of past and current socio-economic, bio-psychosocial, and health care policies a

Some clients might feel overwhelmed by the process of starting therapy. Clients are often looking for a safe space to process their thoughts and feelings about life’s challenges. I aim to provide a holistic and individualistic approach to the counselling process, with a focus on building a therapeutic relationship that will allow for successful and collaborative therapy sessions. My experience, education and eclectic approach, provides the guidance, understanding and support my clients seek to improve their lives. My goal is to make every client feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe during the therapeutic process.

You are stronger than you think. I believe that each person has unique strengths and abilities to conquer the challenges life throws their way. Together, we can collaboratively build on these resiliencies to better overcome your challenges and reach a level of optimal well-being. I recognize that everyone has a story, and I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, warm, and non-judgemental space for you to feel comfortable sharing yours. My goal is to support and empower you in facilitating positive change through self-discovery and inner healing.

Your well-being and success are at the heart of everything we do. I am dedicated to walking alongside you and your loved ones helping you rediscover your inner strength, resilience, and hope.

While struggles in life are universally inevitable, the healing journey is unique to each individual person. Feelings that can accompany challenges may feel overwhelming, resulting in us responding in ways that do not align with the type of person we want to be, and making our life less meaningful and fulfilling. In these times, extra support that is independent of friends and family, can make all the difference.

My clients face a wide range of issues including: Depression, anxiety, chronic pain, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), life transitions, career transitions, relationship challenges and parenting issues. When I first start working with clients, we develop a list of goals that they would like to work towards so that our work is focused and directed. Some examples of goals my clients have worked towards and achieved include: acquiring tools to feel more in control of their depression and/or anxiety, becoming more assertive with others, improving their relationships and feeling more fulfilled with their career.
