Therapists in Toronto, ON

A core belief that informs my approach to therapy is that there is an inherent goodness within all of us and that we are all seeking ways to realize and cultivate this goodness. Sometimes in this pursuit, we find ourselves stuck in a place that we never expected or anticipated (often not even by our own doing). In this place, it may seem like the harder we try, the deeper we burrow ourselves into somewhere we actually don’t want to be. My hope is that my work consists of coming alongside others who find themselves stuck in these places and collaborate to find ways out and make progress towards realizing the goodness inside.

*Now accepting clients* For so many, the hardest part of therapy is putting themselves first. When you’ve come to the point of accepting that you need support in overcoming challenges in your life, you may feel overwhelmed, beat down, tired, and low. Many of my clients feel a sense of relief following the first session where they’ve taken the first step in improving their life, relationships, and happiness. Therapy is work, and requires dedication to the process and to yourself.

I offer my services from a client-centered, anti-oppression, and culturally-competent framework. Many years of practice in evidence-based and alternative clinical/healing practices to competently address issues resulting in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, stress and illness, and relationship challenges. I specialize in psychodynamic practice to allow for deeper healing of past emotional and trauma-related wounds. Emotionally-focused couples therapy is also my specialty. I enjoy working with people of all ages, gender, class, races, cultures, abilities, sexual orientations and life-styles. I strive diligently to help clients achieve more joy, balance, and well-being.
