Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, complex trauma, or substance use—and looking for a therapist who offers a grounded, compassionate approach? I’m a licensed therapist in Toronto supporting adults navigating life transitions, trauma recovery, and emotional overwhelm. - Our struggles are often layered and interconnected. In our work together, we'll explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and a focus on what feels most important to you. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, or substance use, I aim to create a space that feels grounding, non-judgmental, and collaborative.
For over 10 years, I work with adults who may feel stuck, burned out, disconnected or ready to make a change but unsure where to start. While I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Non-Violent Communication (NVC), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I believe the most meaningful progress happens through authentic connection—not rigid approaches.
Sessions can be emotional, empowering, educational, challenging, and even humorous at times. Sometimes we’ll move between concerns, sometimes stay focused on one—but the pace and direction are always set together. If this resonates, feel free to reach out and book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

A typical treatment plan is collaborative and tailored to your needs. It may involve exploring patterns and core beliefs, building emotional regulation skills, increasing self-awareness through body-based approaches, and developing compassionate ways of relating to yourself and others. Over time, clients often gain clarity, feel less emotional distress, improve relationships, and build resilience.
