Therapists in Toronto, ON

People experience challenges in their lives that are sometimes difficult to work through alone. Together we can make sense of it, and achieve a healthier, happier life. By providing a safe and empathic space, you can explore those challenges currently in your life. My approach to each session is to be with you, through truly listening, providing a judgement-free environment, respectful challenge, and mutual participation throughout the therapeutic process. As a team, you and I will process the emotional, cognitive, physical, familial, and spiritual factors impacting your life, and preventing you from achieving your goals.

Sunspring Counselling specializes in psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and parents' own healing journey. You want your child to have the best opportunity to thrive in life, yet you may see them struggling at home or school. For yourself, you want to shift patterns that are blocking you from making the progress and enjoying life. I help when anxiety and emotions, relationships, trauma or past experiences, inattention, learning, behaviour, and school or work concerns are holding your child or yourself back. Join me on a path toward reaching greater confidence, personal success, and realizing one’s true potential.

Each therapy takes shape based on the unique dynamic built between the client and the psychotherapist. The exploration that becomes possible is informed by the level of safety, trust, and stability gradually established in session. Whatever your motivations in seeking therapy, your issues, and your goals, it is of upmost importance to have confidence in the capacity of your therapist to hear you, to see you, and to respect your needs. My job is to provide this kind of environment and, from there, to work towards improved self-awareness, resilience, and self-acceptance.

Welcome! Therapy is an incredibly helpful tool that can support you through a wide range of issues. It can be challenging starting this therapeutic journey and we are here to help. Transitions in life are often filled with overwhelming emotions and a helpful supportive therapeutic relationship can provide space and a place to navigate these moments. We all possess strengths and in your work with one of our clinicians, you will have a chance to understand the diverse ways in which these experiences can impact one's life and receive tailored support.

Sometimes the scariest thing to do is talk to someone, especially if we feel like we will be misunderstood, laughed at, or judged. As a therapist my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and confidential space for you to have someone to talk to. I focus on helping clients enhance their holistic health, manage relationships and cope with the stressors that may come from life changing events or navigating multiple worlds. Much of my experience has been working with teenagers, college students, and middle-aged adults.

Hi there, I'm glad your here. My experience over the years has taught me that anyone is capable of change if they want it. Life is difficult and as people we face challenges that make us feel helpless or broken. However, I believe that we are also resilient and with support, we can get through any obstacles that come our way. I want to be a support to anyone facing these dilemmas by giving you a voice and providing the opportunity to be heard. My goal is to improve the lives of my clients by enhancing their social and emotional growth and providing solutions to enhance their mental health and well-being.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression right now? Does making even a small decision seem overwhelming? Did you find the pandemic more difficult in ways that you never expected? You’re not alone. For many people, COVID-19 brought to surface old issues that they thought that they had resolved and new problems that they never could never have anticipated. Isolation. Job loss. Family conflict. Grief.

Therapy isn't about asking, "What do you need from me?" but rather, "What do you need from yourself?" It's about exploring who you aspire to be. My humanistic background drives me to believe that within every client lies the potential for growth, nurtured through our therapeutic partnership. While the specifics of each client's journey may differ, the common thread is a deep desire to be heard and understood. While therapy can provide guidance, I often encourage clients to take the lead, tapping into their own capacity for change.

I provide individual treatment for a broad range of concerns such as stress, depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and interpersonal challenges such as life transitions and bereavement. In terms of couple treatment, presenting concerns include conflict resolution, dealing with differences, emotional connection and trust injuries. I draw primarily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches.

My goal in starting my practice was to provide a safe, impartial space for young people struggling with mental health issues to feel heard and understood.
