"I work from anti-oppression, client-centred and psychodynamic perspectives. In other words I respect the perspectives, goals and needs of the clients who are seeking support to understand themselves and others around them. As a therapist I become an ally in search of your truth and understanding of yourself, the world and others around you. I believe that working with a therapist can be helpful in sorting out your feeling and thoughts to face your challenges in life and become the best of yourself. I aim to offer a non-judgmental and open conversation so you can find that person in yourself. "

"I'm a multi-disciplinary creative and expressive arts therapist. Basically this means that I use a wide variety of art forms in my practice as well as talk therapy. In working together, we could use anything from drama, visual arts, creative writing, poetry, movement, music and more. We may even move from one art form to another to see if there are any new discoveries waiting. The art form depends on what feels best in the moment and what feels right for you. You don't need a background in the arts, only a willingness to create."

"Change and solutions are possible! Help is available. Psychotherapy addresses a variety of issues and I can help you with everything from anxiety to depression to life and relationship issues to addiction management and more. Often the hardest part is simply making the decision to begin. I offer a unique approach; in addition to traditional office visits, I see individuals and couples on SKYPE. Many people enjoy the added benefits of 'meeting' online; reduced travel time to and from their appointments, greater scheduling flexibility and being able to continue whether they are feeling under the weather or away on vacation."

"I am Gestalt Therapist in Training, currently enrolled at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. I am seeing clients under supervision. My approach to therapy is somatic and relational - this simply means that I invite my clients to become curious about their emotions. As these emotions emerge in our contact together, I will gently encourage you to bring them to your awareness and find where you store them within your body. In this way, I will support you to reclaim your innate ways of being in your body by unlearning the harmful beliefs that we adopted while navigating numerous systems of oppression. "

"Life can be very overwhelming, and often finding the right therapist can help us to cope with life's many challenges. I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in the fields of trauma-related stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and family conflict. In the past, I have worked in a community agency serving youth, individuals and families for 5 years, and have trained for one year with a renowned psychiatrist who treats individuals with trauma-related symptoms. 8 years ago, I began my private practice in psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in person or by phone (telephone counselling)"

My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed, intersectional anti-oppressive framework and I aim to foster resilience and empowerment to support individuals in their journey toward healing and meaningful change."

"Looking for support? Therapy provides an opportunity to express big feelings, talk through challenges, explore patterns of behaviour, develop greater self-awareness, and try different ways of being and relating. I practice contemporary Gestalt therapy that is experiential, relational and embodied. I was first drawn to Gestalt because it embraces an egalitarian relationship between client and therapist, takes a non-pathologizing approach to mental health, and invites creativity. I emphasize the development of self-awareness as a way to increase choice, flexibility, acceptance, and ultimately wellbeing."

"In my practice I embrace diversity and work with individuals with varying cultural, spiritual, sexual, and gender identities. I welcome most presenting concerns and experiences. Most often, I find myself working with individuals dealing with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, overwhelming emotions such as anger and shame, addiction, psychosis, post-partum depression and adjustment difficulties, other life transitions, and a whole host of other problems in living. I am a clinical psychologist which means my services are also covered by most extended health coverage insurance plans. "

"Currently accepting new clients. You may feel like your heart is broken, like you'll never recover, but you are NOT broken! Hearts can be mended.... I can help. I have helped many people successfully work through multiple life challenges, and transitions such as: Infidelity, re-building trust, separation and divorce, childhood sexual abuse, Trauma and (P.T.S.D); I also help people with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, loneliness, as well as feelings of grief & loss. I offer a safe, welcoming and reflective space for you to share your story and begin to heal. Alternative lifestyle positive."

"As a Couple & Family Therapist, I work in ways that are client-centered, strength-based, and compassionate. I believe we can create powerful change in our lives when we take time to explore the things that may be challenging us, acknowledge and access the strengths we possess, and begin to imagine what we hope for ourselves in creating solutions that work for us. Clients tell me they appreciate my ability to be authentic and personable in our conversations, and that they value getting to be a part of conversations that are honouring of the experiences they have encountered. "

"I work with people whose struggle with depression, anxiety, low self esteem or addictions is getting in the way of leading a fulfilling life.

I also work with couples experiencing ruptures in their relationship to help rebuild communication, trust and intimacy . As a family mediator I help couples resolve conflict emerging from separation and divorce."

"Discovering and experiencing your authentic self is what I am passionate about. I am highly skilled in guiding clients in unfolding and exploring unavoidable obstacles, created by our beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs or limiting thoughts that can appear as anxiety, depression or other psychological/emotional difficulties can be a guiding light on your way back to find your true essence. These core parts of your being may remain untouched as you grow, and are waiting to be found and re-connected. When you connect on a deeper level with your self, your purpose, gifts, and talents show in their full potential. "
