Feeling like life threw you a curveball, and you missed the memo?
Maybe anxiety is holding you back, or you're finding it tough to face difficult emotions. Does grief feel heavy, or is shame getting in the way of true connection? It might even feel like the world around you doesn’t quite make sense, or you’re constantly adjusting to fit a mold that wasn’t made for you. Whatever you find yourself working through, I’m glad you’ve found your way here.

I employ a blend of collaborative, evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, particularly culturally sensitive, somatic-based, and cognitive work.
Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself; it’s about reconnecting with your strengths and finding new ways to move forward. Every person carries a story, and sometimes that story feels heavy, tangled, or unfinished. My role is to help you make sense of it, find your voice, and create new chapters that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go. I believe therapy works best when it honours your story while also empowering you to become the narrator of your own journey. Your story matters, and you don’t have to walk this path alone. Reach out today to begin your next journey. I work with children, teens, and adults.

We integrate somatic therapy, EMDR, IFS, and EFT to unwind survival patterns held in both mind and body.
Have you ever felt like “just getting by” has become your default setting? Like you’re living in survival mode—functioning on the outside, but carrying an invisible weight that no one else can see? Maybe you’ve spent years being the strong one, all while feeling alone, exhausted, or disconnected. Chronic stress, trauma, and toxic relationships don’t just leave emotional wounds—they rewire how we feel safety, build closeness, and self-protect from pain. They can leave us feeling stuck: frozen, shut down, or constantly on edge. And while your past may shape your story, it doesn’t have to write your future.

I offer in-person therapy in Vaughan (Woodbridge) for teens and adults struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, and the impact of relational or attachment trauma. Many of my clients look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, emotionally reactive, or constantly on edge.
If you’re tired of managing anxiety alone, shutting down in relationships, or feeling flooded by big emotions, therapy can be a space to slow down and feel steady again.

I have a strong background in children's mental health & parent education, I am a Certified Perinatal Therapist and am trained in Somatic Experiencing (along with many other useful modalities).
Becoming a parent can bring joy and fulfillment, but the changes and stress that accompany the early years can also have substantial impacts on a parent’s mental health. Nothing can truly prepare us for this significant new role. New parents are often overwhelmed with how how all consuming caring for a baby can be, may experience challenging shifts in their important relationships, and my not yet know how to cope or access the support they need. Parents in later stages are not immune to struggles either - managing toddler behaviour, learning to manage our big feelings alongside our little ones - often without any roadmap.

You’re doing your best to hold it all together—but under the surface, something’s shifting. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, wrestling with identity, grieving a loss, or carrying the weight of intergenerational or cultural trauma. You might feel overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure how to move forward. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Accepting New Clients. Today feels like just another day you woke up with that same “stuck” feeling. Like life is something happening to you not something you have control over. The anxiety & depression accompanying these thoughts can feel overwhelming, and it’s exhausting to carry them day after day.
You feel disconnected from your work, distant in your relationships, and tempted to pull away just to numb the weight of it all. Sometimes it even feels easier to isolate than to risk feeling like a burden. In moments like these, it’s natural to wish someone could simply give you the answers—or better yet, fix everything for you.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
