Therapists in M6P

My practice is focused on helping individuals struggling with various forms of distress such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. I use my expertise to help individuals understand the factors that shaped their experience of the world and to become more flexible with how they act, relate, think, and make decisions. Clients will also be supported to develop healthier coping strategies to lessen the negative impact that chronic distress can have on their capacity to strive for meaningful goals. The client's internal resources and strengths are engaged to aid in the pursuit of these goals.

I am passionate about supporting clients in their efforts to change and grow, by uncovering their abilities and strengths to overcome challenges. I have been privileged to work with diverse populations including youth, adults, students, parents, families, and caregivers as they cope with anxiety, depression, autism spectrum, interpersonal conflict, grief, life transitions, stress challenges that arise in navigating cultural identities and more. I believe that therapy is a safe place to grow, learn and achieve goals for anyone. I use a holistic approach combining evidence-based techniques that are tailored to your unique needs.

Together we’ll create a safer space—a brave space where you can vent, discover, explore and ultimately TRANSFORM the issues that are holding you back from living a life that you love.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable to discuss your difficulties with a therapist. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, a new experience, or seeking meaningful change, I would be happy to help. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a warm and supportive atmosphere so that we can explore new insights in an open and non-judgmental space. Regardless of your reasons for coming to therapy, it is important for me that we work together to determine your goals and priorities. I offer evidence-based therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Welcome! I am so happy you're here. As a therapist, I hope to join you on your individual and collective healing journeys in the ways that feel best - navigating paths unknown, tender moments to slow down and rest, and all that is between and beyond. I work primarily with BIPOC and 2SLGBTQ+ clients, including first-generation children of immigrants, and queer and trans Muslims. I draw from somatic, narrative, expression-based practices, and Internal Family Systems. My therapy is political and slow; embracing of pleasure and joy, and holding space for the impacts of navigating the world in bodies that are marginalized and oppressed.

As your therapist, I will work with you collaboratively to unpack what is holding you back from healing and reaching your goals. My training and experience enables me to pull from several different theoretical frameworks to tailor an intervention that suits you, your needs and your personality. My experience includes working with adults and young people looking for a safe place to explore your all the parts of you. This includes Depression, Dissociation, Anxiety/Panic, Fear, Self-Esteem/Self Critic, Self-sabotaging/Self Harm, Relational Trauma, Acute Trauma, Toxic Relationships and Parenting.

Sometimes in life, we need a mentor, advocate or a careful, accepting and non-judgmental, yet skilled, listener for our thought and emotion processes. My intention as a therapist is to be there for you with a compassionate presence, contributing my expertise to help you access your needs, self-understanding and inner wisdom. Where unconscious behaviours and unsuccessful life patterns impede access to fulfillment and happiness in life, I offer skills development for self-care, self-discovery and self-mastery. I welcome clients who experience emotional distress due to trauma, loss, anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, depression and relationship problems, providing skilled guidance and support.

"Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge." Audre Lorde. Using various evidence-based therapeutic modalities, I'm here to help you trust and listen to yourself more deeply and with self-compassion, while guiding you to apply the tools you need to lead a life in alignment with your values, dreams and goals. From an anti-oppressive lens we explore and make meaning of your unique story within your cultural and relational contexts. I am committed to ensuring my clients feel heard and respected in our sessions and will meet you where you are and move at the pace that feels right for you.

Are you experiencing difficulties such as the breakdown of a relationship or the inability to move forward or feeling stuck and unproductive or just plain lost? Do you feel that you just need somewhere to start? Are you looking for short term therapy do get you over the hump? For many people, short term or solution focused therapy can be the answer and it may be all you need. Some feel they are in crisis mode and just want control of their lives and this is where solution focused therapy can help. Feeling overwhelmed doesn't have to be your daily existence. Taking control is the first step.

I am passionate about supporting youth and adults from all walks of life, with particular experience supporting the 2SLGBTQ community, people with disabilities, and post-secondary students. I believe in an integrative therapy approach that best supports people to reach their goals, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness, and others. I strive to incorporate an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed framework and acknowledge the many ways intersecting identities can shape our lives and needs in therapy.

I have observed that the patients I care for struggle with the very things that make us human, namely difficult thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and the inner conflict and distress these create. Ultimately we are all looking to feel comfortable in our own skin, fulfilled in our relationships and satisfying lives no matter what life throws at us. The path forward for many patients includes a deep acceptance, not necessarily agreement, of the barriers interfering with life satisfaction, disempowering them and then generating space for creatively responding to them. Welcoming to LGBTQi2s communities and all nationalities and traditions.

I am committed to supporting Black and racialized families through child and family therapy and parent coaching. I work with children and teens managing behavioural, emotional and social challenges that may relate to their family dynamic. I also offer help to parents looking to connect with their children and make changes to support their progress and expression. In my therapeutic relationships, I create a fun and collaborative environment where transparency, trust and confidence are fostered to build improved family relationships and communication.

Our commitment to help families harness the power of relationship so that parents find peace and children thrive. We draw on various research based methods, depending on your needs. Our approach always honours the children and families we work with. At Attuned Families your comfort is our priority. Call us anytime to ask your questions and find out how we can help.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I'm pleased to connect with you! I practice counselling and psychotherapy from a place of warmth, respect, compassion, mindful presence and curiosity. Therapy can be a place to explore different sides of the self, while taking a step back to gain a broader perspective. I'm here to support your goals, your journey, whether it be to manage stress, or the challenges arising from a new or existing diagnosis. I focus on your strengths, and help you to develop them to build your capacity to cope, and heal.

I believe that we are all shaped by our early environments. If our early environments were chaotic, unsafe or created by addictive behaviours, the conditions to thrive in were less than optimal. These failures in development can keep us stuck, impeding our growth as creative and vital individuals. If your feelings have become unmanageable, are struggling to fully engage in the world or are having difficulty establishing and maintaining relationships, therapy could be of help to you. I know, from personal experience, that taking the first step to enter into a therapeutic alliance is a courageous one.

I’m an advanced candidate with the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts offering psychotherapy under supervision. I bring training in depth psychology together with extensive somatic expertise to support clients living with the effects of chronic stress and complex or developmental trauma. With 20 years of clinical practice in somatic and movement therapy, I harness the powerful intersection of the body and psyche to support my clients in recovering a sense of aliveness, hope and agency in their lives. My work with clients includes body-oriented talk therapy, dream analysis, expressive arts and gentle embodiment practices.

I truly believe that everyone has his/her path in life and ability to walk it. I think that Life is an amazing journey. My role is to assist with navigation. I can help finding the tools to move forward or accompany a person along the way. I believe in our incredible passion for life and creative potential for fulfillment. "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become" these words belong to Carl G. Jung. I choose to be a social worker, a psychotherapist and a resilient person.

I am a queer femme of colour who is working to support collective healing and liberation by offering individual counselling. My work is centred in an intersectional feminist approach to therapy drawing from somatics, narrative and evidence based practices. My approach is to support individuals to build upon existing strengths and daily practices to ensure that they have the tools to live their life in alignment with their own values and desires. I see my role as creating a container to support a person in developing deeper accountability and consent in their relationship with themselves and with others.
