Life is a rollercoaster. It’s full of constant ups & downs. For many of us, it can become too overwhelming to face it alone. Having the support of a experienced, empathic & attuned therapist who can work with you to face life challenges with more ease & self-compassion, while learning effective coping practices for future stressors can be a supportive way to navigate life’s many uncertainties.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for checking out my profile. At some point everyone gets tangled up with some issues in their lives. It could be because of our past or what we would like to achieve, or maybe our values are not balanced with our inner demands or the demands of our surroundings. Whatever you are overwhelmed with - maybe you are unable to balance your emotions, your relationship, or your life goals - I am here to support you to sort them out, come up with a plan that works for you and set priorities. Slowly but surely you will appreciate that you have many strengths and you can start using them again.

Sometimes you just need to talk with someone who gets it. I am a strong communicator who is professional and calm under pressure and I provide empathetic, welcoming, evidence-based engagement and support for clients seeking online therapy in Toronto. I have worked across adult healthcare and mental health settings with a focus on psychotherapy. I approach my work with clients in a way that is client-centred, highly ethical, harm reduction oriented and attachment/trauma-informed. I am continually seeking to be intersectional, feminist, anti-oppressive and anti-racist in my practice, and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

If you feel lost, stuck, or like your world is crumbling around you, you are not alone. Most people experience this when facing significant life changes. An aching feeling and a deep sadness accompany lost hopes and dreams. Times like this call into question, "Who am I?" Your identity feels like it has been swallowed up by the days and years spent tending to life's demands. This makes trying to figure out your next steps both overwhelming and terrifying. You want to feel on solid ground again and for your life to have purpose, meaning, and genuine connections to others.

Doubt. Hesitancy. Uncertainty. Embarrassment. Powerless. Vulnerable. We all feel these things at one point or another. Marianne Williamson says, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?"

***Please note I have a waitlist***In the wake of the current global circumstances, increased isolation, and fear of uncertainty, you may be thinking that now is the time to have a closer look at your mental health and coping skills. You may find that the increased time to be with your thoughts has you wanting to make sense of the past and how it may be currently affecting you. You may be experiencing increased loneliness or strained relationships. You have understandable fears about the future and are trying make sense of underlying thoughts and feelings. You want to live your life in a meaningful way under difficult circumstances.

Do you ever feel sensitive to or even swayed by the thoughts, feelings and needs of those around you? Does this often come at the expense of your own time and energy? You may find yourself struggling to put yourself first, feeling guilty when you do, frustrated as a result and longing for more self-confidence and ease in your life. I work with people who know they want to feel good and good about themselves yet are stressed and anxious, doing their very best to cope but find themselves running into blocks that can show up in many ways, from food & body image struggles to narcissistic relationships draining their energy.

Are the many demands of life weighing you down and making you feel burnt out? Do you feel anxious or depressed or stuck so that it’s hard to progress in life? Together, through therapy, we can explore finding a new balance, we can challenge negative thinking and identify unhelpful patterns. We can also learn effective ways of coping. Imagine being able to gain control over overwhelming emotions, move forward in life and improve your relationships? While nothing can guarantee that you will be rid of your anxiety entirely or never feel sad again, you will learn to be more resilient in the face of hardship and enjoy life more.

Does “unprecedented” somehow sum it up? We are living in truly unprecedented times where life can be confusing or feel like it’s a painstaking paddle through physical and mental quicksand. Are you feeling like you are under too much mental or emotional pressure? Do you feel stuck, stressed, anxious, lonely, empty or overwhelmed? Does it feel like you are the only one failing to cope more than others? What about your relationships? Do you and your partner have the same fights repeatedly? I can help you resolve these issues.

I practice within a psychodynamic framework and incorporate mentalization-focused, cognitive-behavioural, narrative, somatic awareness and other techniques where appropriate. I work with a broad range of clients in terms of social locations, identities and experiences. While I work comfortably and competently with all genders, I have a special interest in working with men around trauma, depression, self esteem and anxiety. Also with men who struggle with relationship and communication issues, anger, and rageful impulses and thoughts.

I work with individuals and families experiencing depression, anxiety, disconnection, conflict, and loneliness. In individual therapy, I focus on the deep and often painful emotions that get in the way of feeling accepted, understood and truly engaged in one’s life and relationships, including exploring low self-esteem, self-criticism, and perfectionism. Family work focuses on helping caregivers and their loved ones to explore the difficulties in their relationship, guiding them toward a more open and supportive relationship. I also work individually with parents looking for support with their parenting approach.

It's important that you acknowledge yourself for taking the step of finding someone to provide guidance. In my thirty years of experience I've learned that a big part of the healing occurs as a by-product of the relationship between client and psychotherapist. When this relationship is grounded in safety and compassion, the relationship blossoms and healing occurs. My working style is client centered and collaborative. It invites self-inquiry--leading to a deeper understanding of issues and their root causes.
