My website

We are a team of clinicians providing trauma-centred, compassionate, and relational therapy to help you heal and transform in so many beautiful ways. We work with people struggling with a range of emotions/experiences including grief, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anger, childhood abuse and psychosocial trauma (including war), immigration and post-immigration experiences, relationship difficulties and self-actualization challenges. We offer in-person and virtual therapy and our office is located in Cabbagetown, downtown Toronto.

Our therapists are trained in different modalities (Somatic Experiencing, Gestalt, IFS, CBT, ACT, EMDR, SSP) and use humanistic, embodied and evidence-based frameworks to support your unique needs in a holistic and integrative way. We specialize in body-oriented therapies to support folks dealing with symptoms of complex trauma.

We work in an honest, intuitive, and creative way and will support you to become curious about yourself and explore - with a lot of compassion - parts of your journey/psyche that have felt shamed, scared, abused, or silenced, so you can feel clarity and relief. Our practice is trans, queer, fat and sex worker affirming.
