Therapists in M5J
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (independent practice) and a Psychological Associate in Supervised Practice with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario.
I support adults navigating trauma, sexual issues, intimacy/desire issues, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, life transitions, and identity challenges. My approach affirms neurodivergent experiences and blends clinical psychology with psychodynamic, emotion-focused, and solution-focused therapy.
My approach affirms neurodivergent experiences and diverse identities. I focus on "depth work" to uncover root causes, build insight, and support lasting change.

You're not broken—you're responding in human ways to a world that has forgotten how to be human.
I might be the right therapist for you if you feel the weight of generational trauma, systemic oppression, or emotional disconnection & you're ready to explore how these forces shape your inner world.
You may struggle with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or feeling unseen. You long for emotional clarity, self-trust, & deeper connection. You're not looking for quick fixes, but for practices of resistance, repair, & rehumanization. You want to feel more whole—rooted in yourself, in community, & in a life that aligns with your values.

You ARE good enough!
Are you an elite athlete or high-performer struggling with anxiety, depression or perfectionism? Do you feel like you are buckling under the pressure(s)? Are your relationships affected? Do you have difficulty communicating? Are you struggling with motivation? What about grief or loss, or traumatic experiences?
How about any/all of the above?!
Maybe you have a trauma history; maybe you don't. But therapy isn't just for people who are "messed up"! Perhaps you just need someone unbiased to talk to, or to help you develop better coping mechanisms (other than substance use)!
If this is you, I'm here for it!

Do you constantly worry or obsess? I have a passion for helping clients overcome symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and representations of trauma. I continually ensure that I am coming from a knowledgeable place when working with clients, not only by practicing evidence-based therapeutic interventions, but also by recognizing the complexities and nuance of commonly misunderstood mental health issues. I believe that psychotherapy is most effective when the client feels supported and the work is collaborative.

I am currently accepting new clients! I work specifically with those navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, relationship or family dynamics, or a major life change. My clients may feel overwhelmed or stuck, but they’re seeking clarity, connection, and lasting change. They want to understand themselves more deeply, set boundaries, heal old patterns, and feel more grounded and confident in their lives. They don’t have to have it all figured out—just a willingness to begin. Therapy is a space to explore, heal, and grow—together.

I offer in person therapy at Fusion Chiropractic, 847 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, and also online therapy. Like many others, you may be contemplating psychotherapy because you feel stuck and unsure of how or what to change. For example: your job or career is not fulfilling or meaningful; your relationship is not what it used to be or what you want it to be; you have children and are unable to find time for yourself or your partner; you feel stuck financially, worrying constantly about income or debt. This list is not exhaustive and may not have captured the way you feel. Thus, my approach begins with understanding how you feel stuck.

In navigating life's challenges, we often construct defenses that, while once protective, now leave us feeling stuck and isolated. Together, we will work to chip away at these accumulated layers and begin to articulate a more authentic and comfortable way of being in the world. My approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, offering a safe haven for healing while encouraging you gently to your full potential. Together, we'll shift from the shadows of criticism, fear and shame to a path illuminated by self-discovery and growth.

Are you trying to get back with your girlfriend? Did you do something that got you dumped, and you don't know why you did it? Did you do everything for her and got nothing back? Or are you in a relationship and can't decide whether to leave or not. What happened to my sexual desire? Is she hot enough? Am I happy where I am now? I'm young, and I want to have more sex. Do I watch too much porn? What should I do? Are you also lost in life? You want to have a meaningful career, doing the things you love, but why can't I get out off the couch?

Big life changes make you question what you thought you knew about yourself and others. Unfair changes that you didn't ask for are especially hard to accept. Negative emotions, self-doubt, and second-guessing can keep you feeling stuck when big shifts happen, but you’re not alone. I’m passionate about helping people face life changes with confidence and self-compassion. The thought of building a new life for yourself can be scary but I’ll help you go from feeling lost and stuck to feeling empowered, confident, and hopeful. I’m easy to talk to and offer a safe and non-judgmental space to express yourself and also have some laughs.
