Therapists in Mississauga, ON

My practice consists of two main areas, psychotherapy and school psychology. With children, adolescents, and adults, I can work on issues like reducing anxious and depressive symptoms, or enhancing overall well-being. I can also help people who are struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder or who need help regulating their attention and hyperactivity. With children and adolescents, I can conduct comprehensive psychoeducational assessments to try to figure out if they have a learning, attention, and/or intellectual disability.

So often, I find that the world today is struggling with a lack of connection.

There's no doubt that it can be difficult to seek help and support, so I'm glad you're here - as it truly takes courage to reach out and advocate for ourselves and our loved ones.

Are you feeling burnt out or stressed? Do you find yourself feeling anxious and worrying all the time? Have you survived a traumatic situation? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we will work together in psychotherapy to help you figure out what's going on, feel better, and take back control of your life. If you are wondering about your or your child's learning, attention, or intellectual ability, we can complete a psychoeducational assessment.
