Therapists in M4K
Life is full of ups and downs. We face challenges everyday and frequently feel overwhelmed by our emotions. We have many wounds inside us that need to be healed from the past. Although it seems painful to look at those wounds, they can be healed by exploring our inner world and emotions.

In my practice I see adult clients who have challenges around anxiety, depression, loss and trauma, sexual and gender identity, body image and relationship. My approach is psychodynamic, and I work closely with people to build self-awareness and identify constraints; work which betters our chances for a full and useful life. This work is relationship driven, and responsive to the needs of each client.

I work from a model of health, balance and empathy by bringing into awareness the places where we get stuck and our unique ways of getting there. You know best when your patterns of coping are no longer working. A therapist's job is to support you in creating positive shifts in your life. This support may sometimes feel frustrating, especially when our familiar patterns of functioning are being challenged. I incorporate art, humour and paradox in sessions allowing for a creative, spontaneous exploration of your needs, contradictions and feelings and by providing a safe space where new possibilities and hope are possible.

If you feel as if you aren't living your best life, your relationships aren't what you hoped they would be, or the conflict in your life is not going away, perhaps it is time to consider talking to someone about it. Starting counselling is a brave first step to a richer and more satisfying personal experience. It can be frightening and it can also be the beginning of a significant change in your life. Know that I am there to support you.
If you are a clinician in private practice I also offer Clinical Supervision to Social Workers and/or Registered Psychotherapists.

Difficult life experiences can make coping with daily events challenging. Some people isolate themselves in a variety of ways due to fear of burdening or not being understood by those around them. For others, unprocessed adversity from childhood can leave them feeling a disconnect from the world, loved ones, and even their own bodies. The affects can be feelings of depression, anxiety, shame and/or self-doubt. Therapy can be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore the parts of yourself you have difficulty exploring elsewhere and get tools to help you live the life you want.

The ability to have direction over our own lives is a need we all share. We want to be at the helm, steering our own ship and making decisions for ourselves.

I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) and Psychotherapist practicing in Toronto. I have spent the last 18 years of my 40-year career assisting adults and couples achieve their goals; walk through life more intentionally; and cultivate the quality relationships they desire.

When you can’t see a way forward out of the patterns you once built to stay safe, life can feel like a repetition of the familiar. You might find yourself longing for a new way of being, yet feeling anchored to old ways of responding.
You are right to seek a shift. My approach helps you move beyond just "understanding" your history and into the lived experience of your present. By weaving together nearly two decades of dedicated somatic practice—including teaching yoga and meditation since 2009—with clinical training in depth-oriented counseling, I have integrated somatic wisdom with depth-oriented inquiry.

Did your guidebook to "Navigating Anxiety, Relationships, and Sex" get lost in the mail? Let's make one for you. Coping through anxiety or learning the unwritten rules of relationships and sex can be tiring, confusing, and sometimes just downright defeating. If you’re here because you want to get real tools to support you in working through these things, then you’re in the right place.
Anxiety can unpredictable and very inconvenient (that's us being polite). Similarly, figuring out sex can keep you in your head, detached from experiencing pleasures of the real thing. Let’s pause and undo that because you deserve relief and say-so.

Feeling secure within ourselves is our birthright, but it’s often not what our history offers. You may find it difficult to trust others, or connecting in a meaningful, consistent way. You might be easily anxious, self-doubting and ruminating, frequently wondering how you’re being perceived. Or you find yourself distant, closed off, but longing for safe connection. For over 10 years, I collaborate with reflective, high performing adults as we teach the nervous system new ways to feel trust and embodied safety, so you can thrive with deeper connection, confidence and authenticity.
