Anxiety Therapists in L4B

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with expertise in working with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with social, emotional, and mental health challenges. I am passionate about journeying with people sensitively through their changes, growth and healing process, and helping clients recover from trauma. I have experience working with individuals (children, youth, and adults), couples and families to manage overwhelming emotions. I enjoy working with parents, providing them with strategies to manage different challenges.

Many people experience difficulty managing their emotions or feel “stuck” in life. Collaboratively, we will work together towards meaningful change. My approach is informed by Emotion-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, and Acceptance and Commitment therapies. I provide therapy to teens and adults, with particular expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma/abuse.

Holistic Well-being / Career Counselling / Hypnotherapy ... As a culturally competent Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I understand the cultural nuances that influence the Black/BIPOC community in the GTA. From personal struggles to intercultural dynamics, intergenerational matters, workplace/educational hurdles, systemic barriers, and micro-aggressions — these factors influence how you perceive yourself and your role within society. While the majority of my clients are from the African diaspora, I’m happy to meet with anyone who wants to share their story with me and welcome me as a supportive member of your village.

You thought you'd have life all figured out by the time you reached your 30s but you're feeling more lost & anxious than ever lately. The pressure of hitting those life milestones (get married, buy a home, have kids, progress your career) leaves your head spinning. You're constantly overthinking, doubting yourself & feeling like your best is never good enough. Not to mention the every day struggle of balancing all of your responsibilities, relationships & goals. Everything has gotten so overwhelming and this isn't where you pictured yourself at this point in your life. You're ready for a change.

Life in your 20s/30s has felt so defeating lately and you're TIRED. It feels like no matter how hard you try, you're spinning in circles and can't catch a break. Maybe a big change happened recently- a breakup, big move, job change, or family shift- that completely flipped your world upside down and brought everything to the surface? Maybe you've been feeling stuck, anxious and unfulfilled for awhile now and see that you're repeating the same patterns over and over again? You're ready for a change and want to dig deeper, gain a better understanding of yourself & create new patterns that will get you where you want to be.

What if you can stop feeling anxious and overwhelmed, and start feeling more secure and confident? What if you are no longer striving to please others and are able to stop worrying about whether others are judging you? I can help you to overcome these nagging insecurities and listen to your inner compass so that you can build motivation, courageously make choices and connect with others authentically.

I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families for over 14 years in various settings, which include schools, day treatment programs, community mental health agencies, and within the child welfare and foster care system.

My mission is to help others navigate life's challenges by helping them develop tools to cope with challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, fertility, parenting, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions.

Trauma, immigration related difficulties, and anxiety psychotherapist. You may be considering therapy to understand yourself better, or you may be going through some intense emotional pain and want relief. The reasons you are seeking therapy could be due to depression, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, feeling ‘empty’ or ‘stuck’. At times it may feel like traumatic experiences from the past are still affecting you in unexplainable ways. You may have experienced a deep loss, it could be the loss of a loved one, one’s homeland, or the loss in terms of unlived life. Whatever your reason might be, your feelings are valid.

Your 20s/30s aren't what you expected them to be and you feel more lost than ever lately. Between building your career, relationships, life changes & responsibilities, it feels like you're drowning and the panic to get your life together is REAL. Some days you manage to push it all to the side and focus on your day-to-day, but your anxieties flood to the surface the second you're alone with your thoughts. Your mood shifts, you get a pit in your stomach, and you start to doubt and question ev-ery-thing. You're exhausted, over feeling stuck and are ready to feel good about your life and where you're headed. I hear you and I can help!
