Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Markham, ON
I believe our past, environment, genetics, and culture uniquely shape who we are and how we experience the world. To honour this uniqueness, I offer personalized support—rather than making assumptions, I meet each client with respect, validation, and understanding, emphasizing compassion and care in order to promote security and openness. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, to be heard, and to have their value within society affirmed. Regardless of someone’s circumstances, I aim to look beyond the surface and recognize their strengths and resilience, even when these are hidden beneath layers of hurt, pain, and suffering.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean? It means that I will always ask "what happened to you?" instead of asking "what's wrong with you?". It also means that I will always respect you as the expert in your own life. Finally, it means that I believe that everyone does their very best to survive and thrive each day–even on the days that we can't see any hope. I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

I believe therapy begins with a genuine therapeutic relationship and a willingness to understand each person’s lived experience. My work is grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and the beliefs that clients are the experts of their own lives, and meaningful change comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, our emotions, and our patterns. I work with clients as whole people, considering the relationships, identities, experiences, and contexts that shape their lives, while also helping create space for movement and change.

Eating Disorders, Binge Eating & Bulimia - Steph

Food and your body can start to feel like a full-time job. Maybe your days are shaped by rules and rituals around eating, by the pull to restrict, or by binge-and-shame cycles that leave you exhausted and alone. Maybe the mirror has become an enemy, or the number on a scale can set the tone for your whole day. Whatever it looks like, the constant noise around food and body takes up space that should belong to your actual life.

I don't view my clients through a lens of good or bad; rather, I see them with compassion and empathy, believing everyone has the potential to improve and contribute to society. I trust in the power of agency—that each person can create monumental change, build resiliency, and overcome adversities. Working from a holistic approach, I guide clients to feel a sense of life's preciousness, which I believe is foundational to therapeutic success; I aim to help them reconnect with their inner light and their unique potential to thrive, free from judgment. We also work to externalize their struggles, so they are no longer defined by them.

Instead I can help guide you toward your goals offering clarity, perspective and empathic understanding.

You keep replaying conversations, trying to work out what you did wrong, even when some part of you knows you did nothing. You walked on eggshells for so long that second-guessing yourself became normal. Maybe the control was quiet: the guilt, the silent treatment, the cold shoulder, the way your version of events kept getting rewritten until you no longer trusted your own memory. From the outside no one could see it, so you started to wonder if you were imagining it. You were not. What happened to you has a name, you are not too sensitive, and here you will be believed.

You may have become skilled at appearing strong, dependable, and in control while carrying parts of yourself that feel unseen, ashamed, or difficult to express. Over time, this can leave you disconnected from your emotions, your relationships, and the person you know yourself to be. I support individuals, especially men who struggle with vulnerability, in understanding the patterns beneath anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, intimacy, attachment, and the pressure to keep performing strength.
