Welcome to my page! Everyone may feel stuck at one point in their life. You may be experiencing difficulty maintaining relationships, attention and focus, or becoming too overwhelmed with everything piling up. I can help you to make sense of your challenges, find possible connections to your earlier experiences, and how they affect your life today. Collaboratively and without judgment, I can help you understand yourself, your desires, fears, and needs so that your thoughts and emotional experiences don’t overwhelm you. My training in several different treatment models includes Cognitive and Behavioral (CBT) and Somatic Therapy.

Are you struggling to manage anger and anxiety while juggling responsibilities? Are you a working mom/dad feeling overwhelmed trying to balance work and home life? Are you a couple that is feeling disconnected? If you're worn out and feeling burnt out, and your relationship is suffering with unresolved arguments, I can offer support. With over 16 years of experience in mental health, working with individuals, couples, and families, I can help you navigate these challenges. My background includes working with children, parents, and adults, addressing a wide range of issues.

If you are involved with a narcissist and even if you're not sure, you are probably feeling confused, uncertain and likely at your "wits end!" I know you have experienced a life shattering, soul crushing, emotionally confusing and devastating time in that relationship. And, I commend you for reaching out for support as understanding and healing from narcissistic abuse can be difficult to navigate on your own. I will help you validate your situation, navigate any current situations you are facing, equip you with communication tools, strengthen your Self, heal trauma with Brainspotting, and help you move forward in life.

I completed an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology from University of Toronto Scarborough in 2017 and a Master of Education in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) in 2023. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I volunteered in several organization that supported various populations including Toronto Distress Centres and YMCA’s Newcomer Information Centre. I also worked at the HIV Prevention Lab supporting sexual health of gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men.

I see people with a wide array of concerns, who may be experiencing symptoms related to a mental health concern, have history of childhood or adulthood trauma, experiencing relationship issues, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed or stressed in their lives, experiencing grief & loss, infertility, and concerns related to sexuality, gender and sexual orientation. I work from a relational-cultural approach, also incorporating elements of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (body-oriented), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and EMDR.

Psychoanalysis is a way to understand and overcome different levels and forms of stress generated by challenging events or deficits occurring in human life. Those undesirable events are sometimes too intense to affect human personality and cause suffering and challenging existential moments. In those moments, we feel the emotional need for personal psychological support that implies not only professional readiness and personal maturity to help but also concrete humanistic values cultivated in our professional ethics.

Experiencing relationship related anxiety can be really painful. In romantic relationships and friendships, the fear of abandonment may make you feel disconnected from yourself. Once you begin to uncover your true self, you will find that you were born with freedom, integrity, joy, and love; you’ve simply been conditioned to forget these gifts. As a queer trauma therapist, I understand how childhood traumas and spiritual traumas can impact one's intimate relationships. However, love is a practice. My relational approach to healing trauma will help you feel worthy and self-full.

My practice has four foci each supporting personal growth, identity and well-being: 1. LGBT concerns: coming out, loneliness, dating, relationships, family conflict, developing acceptance of self and by others, consolidating identity, loss and adaptation in these situations, aging, illness; 2. trauma impeding life today: neglect, abuse, bullying, exposure to dangerous or dysfunctional environments, accident, loss, etc. 3. couples: long-term, new or dating, opposite and same sex, experiencing conflict, communication disconnects, codependency, affairs, family concerns, loss, substance abuse, addictions; 4. career counseling to align temperament to vocation, achieving work/life balance, supporting job loss/search and life stage changes such as retirement.

Are you an individual or couple who is struggling with emotional distress related to anxiety, stress, anger, depression or grief? Without proper support processing difficult emotions can be challenging. I can help you to get at the 'roots' of your distress as well as help you to become in touch with the concerns, goals, and needs that underlie your experiences. I also work with clients to address issues related to self and identity as well as clients who have faced attachment trauma or traumatic experiences that have altered their sense of self, others and the world around them.

Are you experiencing burnout in your relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed with life's challenges? Let me help you. My therapeutic approach helps you to be more aware of your fears, resentments, anger, anxiety, negative thoughts, and undesirable habits. On the next step, I will assist you to overcome all these challenges. On every level, this process improves your relationships with family, partner, co-workers, friends, and more importantly with your own sense of self. During the course of therapy, I commit myself in providing a confidential, empathic, and collaborative approach to build an effective relationship with you.

Are you navigating questions about your sexual orientation or gender identity? Are your experiencing relationship distress? Are you healing from the loss of a loved one? At Collective Care Counselling, we specialize in the following areas: trauma, grief and loss, spirituality, gender identity, transitioning, LGBTQIA2s+, perinatal mental health, OCD, BDD, neurodiversity (ADHD, autism, etc.), concussions, and many other topics. All of our therapists work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based, anti-oppressive and intersectional framework.

It is hard to be human these days between the daily traumas of colonial-capitalist culture & the intergenerational wounds that we endure from dysfunctional family patterns of relating. I call what we do in therapy a collaborative spiritual workout where we put our heads & hearts together to better understand your problems & find different, more expansive ways of navigating them. We talk about your problems, your feelings, we explore solutions, we celebrate your wins, and we look at how your problems show up & play out in our relationship. Brave conversations allow us to build relational safety, one step and one session at a time.

Warmth, engagement, attunement and compassion - these are some of the characteristics that support the relational work I offer clients. I'm an attachment-based, trauma-focused therapist, trained to integrate many other therapeutic approaches - for example, mindfulness, body-based approaches, stress reduction, psycho-education. I am particularly experienced in working with emotional neglect and abuse, physical/sexual trauma and dissociation, mood disorders, low self-esteem, self-harm (including eating disorders and addiction), identity issues (gender, sexuality and culture) and relationship difficulties (personal and professional).

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. Often the hardest part is simply making the decision to begin. I offer a unique approach; in addition to traditional office visits, I also offer online sessions. 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.

As a Masters level MA in Counselling Psychology practicum student at Yorkville University, I am qualified to practice onsite under the clinical supervision of an approved Site Supervisor. As a dedicated and compassionate psychotherapist intern, my mission is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Are you grappling with the challenges of managing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, relationship complexities, or navigating life transitions? Do you find yourself frequently caught in a fight-or-flight response, leading to a sense of overwhelm, uncertainty, and lack of motivation that permeates your daily life, work, school, and relationships? You're not alone, and I'm here to assist you in finding lasting relief and instigating positive changes in your life.
