Do you feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed? Do you struggle to feel happy, even when things are going well? Do you put too much pressure on yourself, or tell yourself that you “should” or “shouldn’t” feel the way that you do? These feelings are incredibly common. Therapy can help you feel happier, braver, more fulfilled, and more connected to loved ones. I offer a free 15 minute phone call, so we can see if it's a good fit, and usually reply to emails within a few hours or less.
We will set tangible goals for therapy and create a roadmap to change. We will collaborate to help you identify patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back, and teach you coping skills that are customized to your unique needs. I specialize in anxiety, stress management, depression, perfectionism, interpersonal relationships, and parenting stress.
Humour is important for healing, and clients appreciate that they feel comfortable crying, swearing, and laughing with me (sometimes all in the same session!). I look forward to celebrating your progress together as you take a risk, set a boundary, have a tough conversation, or put yourself first. Book your free consult today!

I work extensively with anxiety. I teach tangible coping skills, and collaborate with you to customize our work to your unique needs. In the past few years, I have also started to work more frequently with the Jewish community, as we cope with an increase in antisemitism. This has become a special interest of mine, as there is such a need for therapists who "get it".

While I draw on a number of evidence-based types of therapy (eg. CBT, EFT, solution-focused therapy), I customize my approach to your unique needs. The approach we use will depend on what you're seeking help for (certain interventions work best for certain issues) as well as your personal preferences (eg. more/less structure etc). We will collaborate to determine a treatment plan that fits.
