Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON
Psychotherapy is an opportunity to shed old, unhelpful ways of being for more authentic forms of connecting. Recognizing your own patterns, let alone changing them, can be difficult without support. Working with an empathetic therapist who listens attentively and without judgement can lead to lasting transformational change. Many people initially come to psychotherapy to find relief from personal suffering. While psychotherapy is an effective treatment for unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviours, it is also a process that leads to increased connection with ourselves and others.

Accepting new clients - I am trained to help individuals with high levels of stress, along with supporting people with anxiety and depression. I am neuro-affirming and often work with people who burnout due to the demands and pressures of the modern world and/or the assumption of a neurotypical world. Often the stress of a job, relationship change, a loss, or a life transition can lead you to feel unsteady. Anxiety and/or depression can also show up in the mix of reactions to a stressful time in your life. You don't have to do this alone

If you struggle with your self-esteem, inner critics, trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression and/or relationship challenges, then I would love to connect with you to see if I can support you. Life has really challenging times, and finding the right support can help you navigate them so that you can feel grounded, safe and confident that you can get through. Therapy is about finding the right fit for you, and can be absolutely life-changing. I love to describe therapy as that safe place to explore and heal, where you can show up just as you are and feel seen & heard. I am so grateful to have entered my 20th year as a therapist.

It's not easy to seek support and yet, here you are. That takes courage! Together, we will explore and examine the behaviours and situations that are impacting your life. Your goals are my goals, and together we will work to overcome the hurdles that life presents. My role in your journey is to be non-judgemental, and to support you in creating positive changes that you want to see in order to become the ideal you that may have been lost along the way or you have yet to find.

How do you find hope? You are ambitious, constantly planning and handling multiple responsibilities at once. But that often translates into a hectic schedule, leaving little room for yourself. After months, years, or maybe even decades of living life at a breakneck pace, you might be feeling drained, fatigued, or losing the motivation for the goals and aspirations you once held dear. I've walked that path myself, and I'm ready to assist you in rediscovering your balance and reigniting your passions.

We all face difficult times in our lives. I believe, however, that we have the strength to meet these challenges head on, overcome our blocks, and ultimately benefit from these opportunities for growth. Of course, we may not always be able to see our way through these times on our own. A collaborative therapeutic relationship established in a safe and supportive environment can allow us to unlock the strength and resiliency we all carry within us.

If you're feeling weighed down by difficult emotions—whether it's sadness, anger, anxiety, or the aftermath of trauma—you're not alone in this. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when it seems like the weight of everything is too much to carry. In our work together, my goal is to support you in finding balance, even when emotions feel intense and unmanageable. We’ll take a gentle, step-by-step approach to explore tools and practices that help you build the capacity to sit with difficult emotions, rather than push them away.

Deciding to seek support is not always easy. Typically it's made when a conflict gets to the point where it can no longer be managed alone. Once the decision has been made, there can be fear or unease around talking about vulnerable emotions or life situations. I recognize the courage that it takes to reach out for help, and endeavour to work from a framework of empowerment so clients can uncover their inherent strengths and abilities. Solutions to our troubles often lie within, however the journey to uncovering these is one that many people struggle to walk alone.

Currently Accepting New Clients! I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and I have completed my Master’s in Counselling Psychology & Psychotherapy at the University of Toronto. Growing up in South Africa has afforded me an enriched opportunity to live in a diverse setting where people come together from different walks of life. My previous volunteer experiences in Neurology wards in public hospitals in Cape Town has also allowed me to work with many ethnically and racially diverse individuals of which I am very grateful.

Some people have been dealt a difficult hand in life which can make pushing forward seem impossible. Challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relational issues can be hard to navigate alone. I believe each person has the ability and skill to be able to help themselves. It's my role to help support people in that process. My job is not to “fix”, but to guide and assist you with becoming your best self. I work with both individuals and couples of various ages and backgrounds and have learned much about the strength and resilience of the people I have worked with.

I love helping clients in transition. Maybe you have experienced a series of small changes or events in your life or maybe it's a major life shift that has brought new awareness to the stuck areas in your life. I offer a safe space to explore new perspectives on the patterns in your life.

I am a registered social worker who was brought to therapeutic work through my own process of understanding how to authentically connect to our selves, our bodies and others in the midst of healing from relational trauma. With trauma and loss having been prominent aspects of my life, I am familiar with how the impacts of these experiences act as barriers to connection and repair.
