Therapists in N8Y

I am a firm believer that shame disappears and healing occurs when our stories are told in safe spaces. Therapy can be a safe and compassionate space where we can get curious about places where you may be feeling stuck and overwhelmed in your life. In this collaborative process you can begin to gain more clarity and understand your own unique experiences. You will learn practical skills, tools, and healthy communication strategies to have the courage for navigating life's challenges feeling more resilient and empowered. Above all, you will feel seen, heard, understood, and valued.

Therapy; it's a big step. And I'm eager to help. I whole-heartedly believe that each person is the expert on their own life, emotions and relationships. I am passionate about working with you to create a personalized approach to therapy. We all need a place to feel listened to, cared for, seen and understood. I have education, training, research, experience and my own therapy to assist in offering a tailored approach. I utilize an intersectional feminism and anti-oppressive practice model to create a therapeutic relationship that meets these needs, and assists in reclaiming trauma and removing barriers to living the life you desire.

Are you often in situations that feel like the spotlight is on you: your body gets heavy, your mind goes blank, and a sense of panic takes complete control? Having to perform can lead to feelings of anxiety or self-doubt. Whether you’re an athlete, performing on stage or in front of the camera, in the boardroom, or in front of your classmates/peers – these moments can feel like all eyes are on you, and that can be terrifying. A traumatic performance experience can replay in your mind, and can even impact the rest of your life. With support, you can begin to regain trust in yourself and move forward with renewed confidence.

Sometimes life and relationships we find ourselves in, have a way of shifting our perspective that can create negative feelings, behaviours and thoughts.

Welcome to my site. I help people work through traumatic experiences and many of the more common stressors in life. This can be either a one-time event, or series of ongoing incidents taking place over time that continue to affect you. While different for everyone, these experiences can contribute to feelings of dread, anxiety, increased irritability, depression, avoidance, sleepless nights, and feelings of being alone in the world. These are normal reactions to many of the challenges we face in today's world. Although difficult and painful, these experiences do not have to continue to negatively affect you.

The ultimate goal in counselling is; to empower a person to reach their fullest potential in life. Counselling is especially important when a person is experiencing problems or difficulties which are affecting his or her quality of life. Lifestyle changes can cause tremendous fear and insecurity in people, especially for those who have unknowingly relied upon ineffective ways of coping with the everyday stresses of life. Turning to a competent and qualified therapist who can provide confidential support and advice about private worries or concerns at times of difficulty, can be most reassuring and helpful.

I work with both teens and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma (including childhood trauma and racial trauma), posttraumatic stress disorder, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), addictions, compulsive behaviours and more. My therapy practice draws from my own experience as a client, the education and training I have attained and my vast work experience. All of this allows me to help my clients better understand the adversities they face, lessen depression and anxiety, process difficult memories, and develop a more loving relationship with themselves.
