Lesbian Therapists in M2R

Accepting NEW clients! Are you searching for ways to maintain health and love in your life and relationships? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, loneliness, anger, communication, low self-esteem, or aging issues? Have you experienced infidelity, trauma, betrayal, loss, and abuse, and you may feel like your life is falling apart? There is hope beyond the worry, hopelessness, and other distressing symptoms you may experience. I am passionate about guiding you towards healing to find hope, strength, resilience, & the courage to face life's challenges through nurturing, compassionate, & non-judgmental approaches.

In the beginning stages of our therapeutic relationship, I strive to learn and understand who you are and where you’re coming from in order to better define your goals and aspirations together.

My clients experience feelings of overwhelm, neglect, isolation, and anxiety. They feel drained and seeking a safe, inclusive environment where they can voice their concerns. Together, we delve into therapeutic approaches aimed at fostering connection and empathy, developing kindness and self-compassion, and devising strategies for coping and growth.

“How are you?” is a question many of us get asked several times a day, yet, the person asking is usually not interested in the honest answer to the question. I am. As a certified clinical trauma specialist, I am able to use a trauma-informed lens that highlights one’s strengths and resilience and allows for them to explore their experiences in a safe environment. Additionally, I use an informed approach when working with adults in areas regarding sex, sexual identity, sexual education, and general sexual therapy. I aim to create a safe space, one of compassion, empathy, and care, using a person-centered, integrative approach.

Seeking help and finding the right therapist can be overwhelming especially if you are feeling out of balance, facing changes in relationships, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, or if life has lost meaning for you. I work with clients to create strategies, develop tools, and uncover personal strengths that bring the healthy balance back into their lives. I bring a depth of experience from years of work in a tertiary mental health and addiction hospital in Toronto, Ontario. I am privileged to be a therapist. My clients describe me as "easy to connect, open, warm, genuine, real, and effective."

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

I have over 25 years of experience in the field of Healthcare, with extensive experience working with clients with mental health issues, addiction issues, and court-related issues. During this time, I have worked with individuals of varying ages, couples, families and groups. I see people with a varied range of issues including mood disorders (depression, anxiety, bipolar), trauma, borderline personality, issues of psychosis, phobias, obsessive compulsive behaviours, eating disorders, dual diagnosis, sexual issues, conduct disorder, anger issues and behavioural concerns.

Welcome. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who is dedicated to providing compassionate and empathetic care. My practice, Spark Relief Counseling Services, was created to be a safe-space for self-exploration and authenticity. If you're someone who's navigating life with feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, or life's uncertainties, this is the right place for you. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem/self-worth, body image, burnout, stress, and relationships.

Some of the most difficult and painful moments in our lives have the potential to be the most beautiful and meaningful. It could be that you are struggling with depression, easily overcome by stress and anxiety or experiencing difficulties in your personal/family relationships. What you need is someone to witness and share in the pain, grief and joy of being alive.

The clients I serve in my practice are women, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.
