Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Etobicoke, ON
Life can feel overwhelming, even when you appear to be functioning well on the outside. You might overthink situations, get stuck analyzing your emotions or choices, or feel frustrated by recurring patterns you can’t fully explain. You may be navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, ADHD, OCD, grief or loss, while feeling internally unsettled, disconnected, or unsure how to make sense of what you’re carrying. You’re looking for a therapist who truly understands your unique experiences — someone who listens closely, but also challenges you and supports you in moving through barriers with intention.

Viktor Frankl said: "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." Therapy isn't about getting the right answer, it's about making choices that move you forward. Many aspects of life are out of our control. If we focus on our decisions, we'll find greater contentment. Little shifts make a big difference. In my office, laughter, cursing, crying or yelling are welcome. I have curious questions, off-the-wall metaphors, and shift gears as required.

If you're the one everyone relies on — the fixer, the peacemaker, the person who holds it all together — but you're exhausted underneath, you're in the right place. I work with women who grew up having to earn safety: through achievement, caretaking, staying quiet, or managing everyone else's emotions. Often you're now a parent, partner, or professional who looks capable from the outside while your nervous system is stuck in old patterns of fight, flight, or shutdown. My work centers on EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), supported by nervous-system (polyvagal-informed) regulation skills.

I support neurodivergent children, teens and adults, trauma survivors, and highly sensitive people navigating anxiety, identity, burnout, and emotional dysregulation.
Do you feel overwhelmed, easily dysregulated, or stuck in the same cycles that don’t reflect who you truly are or who you want to be? You may be neurodivergent, healing from trauma, or simply tired of traditional therapy that overlooks the body and soul. I offer a warm, affirming space to explore your identity, build self-trust, and regulate your nervous system through variations of talk therapy, mindfulness, and somatic (physical) processing. You don’t need to mask here- your full self is welcome.

Accepting New Clients!
My ideal client feels overwhelmed by intense emotions and struggles with emotional regulation, unstable relationships, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). They may feel misunderstood, "too sensitive," or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They want to better understand themselves, gain control over their emotions, build healthier relationships, improve self-worth, and feel more confident, resilient, and at peace. Their goal is to move beyond surviving and begin living a more balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling life with greater emotional stability and self-compassion.

If you are someone who is currently living with ADHD, identifies as 2SLGBTQ+ or as a woman and struggles with anxiety, burnout (including activist burnout), executive dysfunction, relationship issues, or emotional regulation, I just might be the right therapist for you.
ADHD has become a buzzword but is still misunderstood, and the proliferation of therapy speech and mental health discourse on social media doesn’t always add nuance to this important topic.

I work with people who have experienced trauma, grief and loss in a variety of different ways, including but not limited to: first responders and health care professionals, women's issues including pregnancy loss, individuals with chronic pain and health issues.
People I work with can often feel like life has become unbearable - they report feeling emotionally exhausted, on edge and can be carrying the weight of difficult memories and experiences and can feel like they are very different from other people.

In my experience working in the mental health sector for the last 5 years, therapy is often sought after someone has suffered long enough or until the symptoms become unmanageable. It is my hope that as we continue to de-stigmatize mental health more people can feel comfortable utilizing this valuable service as a preventative measure and not as a last resort. My approach as a therapist is simple: helping others increase awareness and insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I believe through careful introspection and analysis we can reach a level of compassion and acceptance for ourselves and others.
