Attachment-based Therapists in Oakville, ON
I work with individuals seeking to understand how their internal world shapes their relationships, choices, and ways of coping. Together, we explore recurring patterns and build a greater sense of agency. I work with concerns such as anxiety, grief and loss, depressive symptoms, obsessive thinking, and stress, as well as challenges related to identity development, life transitions, perfectionism, burnout, parenting, and relational difficulties, including family dynamics and boundaries. I am attuned to the psychological impact of displacement and the hardships related to cultural, generational, and linguistic divides within families.

Have you been wishing things felt different? Maybe you haven't felt understood or accepted in your friendships or relationships. Maybe you're going through a breakup, the death of a loved one, or job loss. Or maybe you've been struggling to feel happy, even when things seem to be going well. Do you want to better understand where your emotions are coming from, why they have such a hold on you, and how to feel better? Are you curious to explore your early childhood experiences that influenced how you learned to be in the world, and whether those adaptations are still working for you today?

You’re smart, intuitive, and self-aware, but stuck in a painful relationship cycle. Maybe you're attracted to all the wrong people, overlooking red flags that point to toxic behaviour or narcissism. Or maybe it's more of a cycle of defensiveness, invalidation, and hours long text message arguments that never get resolved. You wonder if you're crazy, or if they're just gaslighting you. You wonder if it's all your fault, frantically reading self-help books and binging podcasts and tiktoks looking for the answers. You're in fight-or-flight, walking on eggshells trying to finally "get it right" so you can finally relax

I believe therapy should be practical and actionable to help you get the best results and achieve positive lasting change as quickly as possible. As a client-centered therapist, I work collaboratively and offer an individualized approach to meet clients where they're at. My work is inspired by the science of interpersonal neurobiology, allowing me to provide education about human behaviour and neurophysiology to help clients make sense of their difficulties and see their challenges from a normalizing view. Many clients find this information to be helpful, hopeful, and empowering, as it gives us a roadmap for resolving their issues.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming — especially if you’ve been carrying a lot on your own. Maybe you’ve been blaming yourself, feeling disconnected from others, or being hard on yourself, all while trying to keep it together.
If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
Therapy, as I see it, is a space where you can slow down and be real — with your struggles and the parts of you that are tired, hopeful, angry, questioning, or unsure. My role isn’t to fix you, but to walk alongside you, make sense of things, and support your healing process.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. If you’re exhausted from always being the strong one-pushing through, holding it together, and barely making it through the day-you’re not alone. The weight of trauma and anxiety has only grown heavier and it’s understandable if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Healing doesn’t have to be a solo journey. I’m a trauma therapist, and I offer a space where you can finally exhale—where your shoulders can relax, and you can find moments of peace amid the chaos. Together, we can explore new ways to care for yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build the support you deserve.

Do you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or intrusive thoughts? Maybe you’re exhausted from overthinking, constantly second-guessing yourself, or feeling like you’ll never be “good enough.” Perhaps fear is keeping you from fully engaging in life—whether in relationships, work, or daily routines. You might struggle with overwhelming emotions, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. I help people break free from these patterns, regain confidence, and find relief. Let’s start your journey toward change.

Being human is really hard. You experience losses, difficult transitions, painful emotions, intrusive thoughts, traumas. You struggle to find your place in a world that is constantly telling you what to want and who to be. In our therapy sessions, I provide you with non-judgmental support to help you discover ways to bring authentic presence to your life and relationships, and to bring curiosity to all the very human parts of you. I work with adults navigating relationship anxiety and "relationship OCD", trauma, perinatal/postpartum challenges, recovery from narcissistic abuse, and life & identity transitions, among other concerns.

You look like you have it together but inside, it’s a different story. You overthink texts, replay conversations, and feel responsible for keeping everyone else happy. Saying “no” feels impossible, and relationships leave you anxious, drained, or second-guessing yourself. You might be the reliable, Type A one (or type B) - but it comes at a cost: constant pressure, people-pleasing, and never quite feeling settled in yourself or your relationships.

A monk once carried a woman across a river. Hours later, his student asked why. The monk replied, “I left her at the river—why are you still carrying her?
What are you carrying? Individuals who feel stuck—often high-functioning on the outside but internally overwhelmed, disconnected, or repeating patterns they don’t fully understand. Many are navigating stress, identity shifts, relationships, or the weight of expectations while trying to hold everything together.
