Life can often feel chaotic. The reality is that changes are presented to us outside of our control and we find ourselves faced with the task of making decisions and choices that will decide the course of our future. These untimely decisions and choices can leave us feeling bewildered and disoriented. To complicate things further, we can find ourselves stuck in emotional and behavioural patterns that inhibit and hold us back from making the decisions we would like to or that would be best for us. Sometimes it’s difficult to even know what we would like to do or what is best for us. What should you aim towards?

Hello. I’m happy to see that you’ve made it - if you’re here, you’re searching for something to help improve your life. An indication of your readiness to confront the challenges facing you, and the belief that change is possible is a beautiful place to begin. I offer individual and couples therapy online and in person in Toronto. My approach to therapy focuses on delving into underlying issues, rather than just addressing symptoms to support sustained growth and healing. Our work always begins and ends with a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Therapy is about feeling better about yourself, extending to feeling better about your whole life situation. This may mean making changes in your life, or just learning to become comfortable with yourself. I work to create an atmosphere of trust between myself and my clients, supporting the individuals I work with to move forward in their lives.

Deciding to seek psychotherapy is often the result of emotional turmoil, conflicts and arguments, sleepless nights, worries, and distress. However, I think this is the best self-care one can gift to oneself. Talking about our issues with a non-judgemental, neutral person who listens to you and holds you in a safe space of comfortable conversation is therapeutic. It helps one to process and understand one's feelings, thoughts, behavior; and enables the client to value own self, and recognize the worth and potential one has as an individual, irrespective of the circumstances.

“Is this forever?” You might be asking yourself this question when you’re struggling and feeling overwhelmed, especially if you’re recovering from abuse, trauma, or illness. Sometimes we lose track of what we want and need moment-to-moment, believing we need permission to want and need anything at all. It is this sense of being “stuck” that often brings clients to therapy. Having a witness—and a safe place to be witnessed—can support us in moving through and beyond life’s most challenging moments. With awareness of our patterns, automatic responses, and bodily sensations, we can start to feel our way out of that “forever” feeling.

In my private practice I offer individual and couples therapy, as well as family work. My approach is holistic, and integrates body centered psychotherapy, neuroscience, mindfulness, early childhood development theories, and early relational and collective trauma. I work with a broad range of issues including relationships, intimacy, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, depression, effects of early childhood trauma, body image, shame, complex changes in family, and dealing with life threatening illnesses.

I work with clients who struggle with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lonely, or frustrated, with life’s challenges and who are ready to take the first step in their journey toward change and self-healing. Whether you are experiencing stress & anxiety, a life transition, unresolved trauma or emotional baggage, poor self-image & low self-esteem, loneliness, depression, or relational issues, I would be happy to walk with you as your therapist to help you find an adaptive, life-giving path forward.

We are all looking for that best version of our Selves that we know is somewhere in us. And it's not always easy to find. If you find yourself struggling, feeling stuck, tracing over the same patterns, or navigating through a difficult transition and can't quite find your way, I am here to help you access your inner wisdom to find your way to your best Self.

Beginning therapy can no doubt feel a bit daunting. The therapy process can be frustrating, painful, and sometimes frightening if we’ve never had the opportunity to be listened to in a way where we can truly express ourselves. But it can also be rewarding and transformative, offering growth as well as a new sense of awareness about ourselves. Free of judgement, we can examine these things together in an effort to both alleviate distress and identify more constructive ways of being and coping.

Like the average houseplant, humans reach toward the sun. Unlike your cactus, however, humans also reach for meaning, we need the nourishment it gives us to keep growing. Without it, we wither.

It is a natural part of life that we question our careers and ask ourselves why we do what we do. You may be feeling unfulfilled and purposeless with your career where it feels painful to stay where you are, but it also feels painful to deal with the confusion, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety involved in thinking about what's next and how to transition your career. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Career Counsellor, I'm here to help you manage these emotions and make a strategic, informed decision on what career to pursue next. My approach combines psychotherapy with practical decision-making and action-planning.

Hello there, I’m Amy. I'm a therapist who is passionate about holding space for transformational experiences. I primarily support the Toronto/GTA community & Northern Ontario (Sudbury & surrounding communities). Recognizing that we all have different financial circumstances, I encourage clients to determine the rate per session that works for them (between $100 - $140).

My areas of expertise include the treatment of depression, anxiety (e.g social anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, health anxiety, phobias), obsessive-compulsive disorder and related disorders (e.g. body dysmorphia, trichotillomania), bipolar disorder, trauma, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, grief and loss, acculturation stress and difficult life transitions. I work towards helping you cope with difficult thoughts, intense emotions and unhelpful behaviours, along with strengthening your interpersonal functioning. My approaches include cognitive, behavioural, mindfulness, interpersonal and attachment-focused therapies.

As humans, we all face challenges in life, both internal and external. But by actively working to confront and overcome these challenges, we can create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. Emotional hardships are tough, but they can be overcome through self-exploration and healing, which can lead to a deep sense of purpose and authenticity. With proper guidance and mentorship, this process can be navigated with grace and self-acceptance.
