Grief Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

Are you new to counselling and therapy? Are you unsure of where to begin, feeling nervous, or perhaps even skeptical? Does it feel easier to be self-reliant, down-play your own needs while focusing on others, or just accept that you’ll always feel misunderstood? If so, therapy might feel like a big leap. We all learn to cope in ways that are completely understandable given life’s many challenges - if you are experiencing general anxiety, grief , or depression, or facing acute challenges in integrating back into a a post-pandemic world, or grappling with the realities of climate change, you do not have to go on this journey alone.

We all need someone to talk to, to help us through difficult times. Whether we have overwhelming issues in the present, or traumas from our past, we need someone to help us make sense of them - and to stick with us through the hard emotions that come with them. As a relational psychotherapist I believe that to get through life, and live life to its fullest, we need to deeply talk with someone. We do not need judgement. We need understanding, compassion, and we need to know we matter.

Welcome! I try my best to create a non-judgemental environment where clients can feel safe to express themselves and believe that my role as a therapist is a collaborative one where I use my skills and expertise to help guide clients along their chosen path. I use an integrative approach that combines my background in Family Systems with extensive training in Emotion-Focused Therapy, and draws from several other evidence-based modalities. Along with my therapeutic lens, as a social worker I am mindful of the other issues and stressors that clients face in their lives such as caring for family or employment issues or diversity issues
