Throughout life we necessarily craft intricate maps for moving through the systems that shape our world, expertly guiding ourselves through the ups and downs of ambiguity, trauma, unpredictability, and change. But what happens when our comprehensive structures stop serving us? And how do we move forward when they stop suppressing our pain? Feeling at odds with our trusted narratives and methods is an unfamiliar and exhausting experience, and my goal is to help you move towards the parts of yourself that feel dark and untouchable—a process that, over time, softens feelings of fear and shame.

I have had the opportunity to work with individuals who, just like you and I, can feel stuck, frustrated, and sometimes hopeless. Working with a psychotherapist in a therapeutic relationship gives you the opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior, which can be transformative. I know that the beauty of psychotherapy is that it addresses not just the symptoms but also the causes of one’s problems. I practice with a holistic approach to mental health that it not only helps you understand yourself better, but it helps you understand other people.

Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your relationships, work, or school? Do you feel exhausted, unmotivated, and overwhelmed by everything you need to do, and don't feel good enough? Do you wonder if you'll ever feel like you used to? We often put our needs last, justifying this by telling ourselves we have too much to accomplish first. Not addressing your depression, anxiety, or past trauma can lead to isolation, ruin your self-esteem, and make day-to-day life harder than it needs to be. However, there are ways to navigate these personal burdens and make life hopeful again, and you don't have to do it alone.

Hi there. Whether you are seeking therapy during a time of crisis, looking to address an acute issue or wanting to better understand yourself and what has shaped you, I would be honoured to walk along side you and guide you on your healing journey.

I approach therapy with curiosity, a collaborative mindset, and respect for the knowledge that you hold about yourself and your life. I work with people facing challenges associated with life transitions, grief, neurodivergence, and mental health and wellbeing. I meet with clients of all ages, and I particularly specialize in working with youth. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am pursuing a PhD in social work where my research focuses on how youth mental health and the climate crisis intersect. I support young people experiencing eco-anxiety, depression, fear about the future, and concern for the environment.

Welcome! I work with career-minded people who struggle with Adult ADHD, Anxiety (Generalized, Social, Panic) , and Depression. Many clients are in high-pressure or creative fields, and feel they could be doing better, but struggle to get there on their own. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can explore concerns and learn tools to cope. I also work with couples who feel stuck, trapped, and frustrated with how things are going and have a desire to make things better. I feel fortunate to have worked in many settings that uplift 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, confidence issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and take a special focus in working alongside neurodivergent individuals and borderline personality disorder. I work from the position and understanding that life can be painful but we do not need to suffer. I view adversity as existing on a continuum, where pain is an unavoidable part of the human experience within the context of a persons life. Where healing takes time, and patience but it is worth the struggle, and effort to make the journey there for ourselves.

There are times in our lives that we cannot get a handle on the challenges in our life. Sometimes our genetics play a role, i.e. intergenerational traumas, and other times, life, and all its stressors gets overwhelming. For some, systemic barriers exist that impede a capacity for wellness. During these times, it is helpful to work with a trained therapist to support you as you find your way back to your healing, happiness and inner peace. Therapy is a process of growth, unlearning, and self-discovery. In my therapy sessions, I promote behavioral transformation and inner peace by encouraging curiosity, compassion and acceptance.

I provide counselling services both virtually and in-person in downtown Toronto for adults and students who have experienced relational trauma, including abuse, neglect, or betrayal. Such experiences can significantly affect mental health and how individuals engage in relationships. People facing relational trauma often perceive relationships as threatening, leading to loneliness, low self-esteem, trust issues, and a feeling of disconnection. These challenges usually stem from altered perceptions & nervous system reactions formed by past experiences.
