Therapists in M5S
I support adults who are living with chronic illnesses as well as their adult family members. This can include helping clients to adjust emotionally to their diagnosis and to achieve their goals with managing their illness and overall health. I also support individuals experiencing relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, difficulties adjusting to life changes, or other challenges to their emotional wellbeing. Beyond emotional challenges, I strive to help my clients to achieve their life goals and aspirations, including making and sustaining health and lifestyle changes, career or relationship goals.

Anxiety can paralyze us. Strong emotions can turn our lives upside down. One sentence expressed in a moment of anger can lead to many moments of pain. Being human has never been an easy experience. In the context of COVID, war, and financial hardship, being human has become exceedingly difficult for many. In our attempts to move forward, many of us rely on strategies we think ought to work, but in fact make things more complicated for us. In the midst of strong emotions, we try to avoid the situations and people that lead us to these experiences.

Through my experience working with hundreds of clients I’ve come to believe that everyone is truly doing the best they can with the inner and outer resources they have available in the moment. I work with you to develop a deeper acceptance of yourself by exploring who you are as a whole person, from processing difficult experiences to bolstering your strengths and healthy boundaries. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or low and unmotivated, we can work together to help life feel more manageable and meaningful.

You may be contemplating therapy because you are struggling - feeling anxious, overwhelmed, unsettled, isolated and alone, maybe even experiencing uncharacteristic rage. You may be stuck in old patterns of coping that are no longer relevant in the present. In fact, they may be getting in the way of your peace, your potential and your happiness - in short, keeping you stuck. It doesn't have to be that way. As a client-centred, trauma-informed relational psychotherapist, I believe good relationships - intimate, familiar, communal, and especially, the one you have with yourself - are essential to feeling good.

As an experienced Individual, Couple and Family Therapist, my goal is to help you move past 'blocks' and patterns that are holding you back from realizing your true self and happiness, both personally and in your important relationships. My approach is strength based, non-judgmental, collaborative, supportive yet steadily challenging, while using humour and creativity. It is important for me to create a space where people feel like they can be themselves.

As a clinical psychologist, my work encompasses developmental, psychodynamic and self-psychology theory. I try to help my clients understand more about themselves, especially how early family dynamics, traumatic events, and major past relationships continue to play out throughout our lives. Understanding the impact of these connections in terms of current concerns, such as family, career, environmental or social issues can help us meet the current challenges we face.

Hello! I'm Tania. I can offer a caring, non-judgmental space where we work together to tap into your internal wisdom and compassion. My own experience and commitment to the psychodynamic practice includes my exposure to mental illness in the family of origin, co-dependency in intimate relationships, bereavement and blended families.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy creates the opportunity to truly understand yourself and help you design the life you imagined. By working with the unconscious, we will learn more about the dynamics behind emotional and relational patterns, and the deeper causes of distress.

Thank you for being here! I work with adults who may experience emotional and behavioural difficulties. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, depressive disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, racial trauma, grief and loss, and other relational problems. I also work with those who have experienced childhood trauma. In my work, I consistently and sincerely acknowledge the importance of the transgenerational impact of acculturation on our beliefs, worldviews, and sense of self. I genuinely believe that we are not broken, so we do not need "fixing;" instead, we work to be the self we want to be!
