With a variety of evidence- based approaches, I assist clients to reduce impacts of symptoms, build skills and self confidence, and to develop their internal resources to become the creators of their lives; lives that bring fulfillment and that are aligned with their core interests, values and passions.

I can help you to understand and manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic pain, and other mental health concerns, as well as to navigate challenging situations, interpersonal conflict, uncertainty, and life transitions. When working with children, I can help them to understand and regulate their feelings and thoughts as well as communicate with their parents, peers, and teachers. For parents, we can put our minds together and I can support you to navigate difficult experiences with your children and in your relationships, including your self-care, which can be so challenging when you are as busy as you are.

I often meet people who notice they are repeating relationship patterns and behaviours, and they aren't sure why. Sometimes, you may remember how these strategies were protective and kept you safe in the past, or you may not. I support the people I work with to sense, with compassion, how powerful and ingenious these strategies are. Sometimes when we meet, you've come to a place of knowing that these same protective strategies aren't as effective as they used to be, and you're wondering why or are looking to change. We come to decide in therapy what to hold tight to and what to set aside for now.

Creating a great career can be a challenge. To begin with, there are many options and it can be stressful trying to find the career that is best for your personality. If you have found a career to settle on, the difficulties still continue. Many people struggle to be productive and motivated. They end up living uninspired lives and feel that there must be something more for them. They may end up wanting to switch careers later on, which requires further navigation and self exploration. Even in the right job, people still can be challenged by heavy demands. They have lost their work life balance, with too much stress and complexity.

Is it just me or has life been a lot lately? If you’re finding that you’re struggling more than usual, you’re not alone. If you’re looking to talk about the challenges you are facing in a casual, warm, and collaborative environment - you’ve come to the right place! My approach to counselling and healing is largely informed by my own mental health journey and personal experience in individual and group therapy. My approach is trauma-informed and draws heavily from anti-oppressive and harm reduction philosophies.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Toronto?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Toronto specialize in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist.
