Grief Therapists in Scarborough, ON

In a time of so much illness, injustice, and natural, social and political upheaval, how do you find meaning in life, and in your life? Can you create meaning out of the unwanted, the new, or the unknown, as in the time after Covid? Or do you face all too familiar patterns: recent or long-term health issues or diagnoses; employment challenges or family conflict; effects from trauma, dislocation, or isolation; core or changing identity issues; aging, end of life, loss or bereavement ? Are you providing care for others through your work or for your own family? What is the story of your life, and what will you now make of it?

I am offering Televirtual therapy through Zoom and/or Phone. Life is a complex journey! Difficult events can lead to emotional pain, stress, and feelings of isolation not knowing what to do. When frustrated, or feeling out of control, a skillful therapist can walk you through a positive transformation. In this case, therapy is a solution in overcoming life challenges. Together we can pave the way towards reaching a positive and a better place where you can live life to the fullest, with greater personal awareness and personal growth while developing insight leading to a more peaceful life.

I am a registered psychotherapist with 15+ years of clinical experience. In therapy, I support my clients by providing a safe space to explore issues, better understand where they are coming from and making the changes they want to. Whether you're struggling with a life change, relationship concerns, current stressors, or issues from the past, this is a space where you can explore feelings, gain perspective, connection and support. My style as a therapist is warm, open and accepting. I practice from a strengths based, trauma informed framework and use a psychodynamic lens to better understand the root of the problem.

It takes courage to initiate counseling and therapy. Working with the mind and our thought processes takes curiosity, patience, and understanding. However, it is so important to not only address our thought processes but to also look at the environments we were in that helped shape the way we see ourselves. Our experiences, relationships, and connections impact our overall well being. I take great pride in you sharing that process with me so that you can achieve learning, healing, growing, and a sense of self-acceptance and love. I too have done this personal work and understand the challenges it brings but also the rewards.

The experiences and challenges that we go through in life do not define us, but instead shape us to be the individuals that we are today; These experiences help us to flourish and grow in ways that we could not imagine for ourselves. This is a philosophy that I hold in great regard when it comes to my practice and work with clients. I recognize that therapy can be intimidating to some. However, I am passionate about creating a space where we can come together and work through whatever it is you’re going through, no matter what it may look like.

Living life as you are meant to can be harboured by a painful past and worries about your future. Do you feel anxious or depressed with thinking patterns that limit your potential?

Have you experienced setbacks because of education/career, bereavement , divorce, abuse, neglect or rejection? Although you may have lost sight of your authentic self along the way, counselling can help you gain insight, tap into your strengths and discover resources to help you heal and move forward.

In this ever-changing world, it is easy to suddenly feel lost and stuck like the world is passing us by. It can feel quite disorienting to be in a space where you are unsure of how to move forward.

What can I say here? For some people, everything in life fell in line exactly how they hoped it would. For most of us though, things happened along the way that irrevocably transformed the kind of person we were meant to be. While we can never go back, we can work together to understand what happened, how you're feeling now, and how we can make you feel better. I know how hard it can be to take that first step, but I'm here for you when you're ready. I believe in the principle that people don't "fixing," they need understanding, support and compassion.
