Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in West Toronto, Toronto, ON

I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist in both B.C. and Ontario. I have worked with children and adults with autism, ADHD, developmental delays and learning disabilities for nearly 20yrs. I am also an adjunct professor at Tyndale University where my research studies have focused on ASD.

I am dedicated to the emotional well being of youth, children and their families and to help them find the equilibrium that respects everyone's needs, temperament, developmental stage and aspirations. I use a wide range of approaches tailored to the child and family such as play therapy, art therapy, narrative and solution focused approaches, mindfulness, parent-child attachment and positive behavioural support strategies.

Children achieve the most when they are feeling their best and given the right strategies in a nurturing and supportive environment. I am a licensed Psychologist specializing in School Psychology and have been working with children, youth, and their families for nearly 20 years, providing a wide range of psychological services for students who present with a variety of behavioural, learning, and social-emotional challenges to help them realize their full potential.

I have devoted much of my time to building a fulfilling career working with families, couples, children and adolescents. My approach to therapy is integrative in nature, and brings together both person-centered and cognitive therapies to help clients better understand their strengths, to implement solutions, and to improve the stability and happiness of the person, the family and or couple.

Hi all, welcome to my profile! As a Black woman who grew up in a low income family I'm incredibly passionate about ensuring marginalized populations are provided with inclusive and accessible mental health support. What makes me feel fulfilled is dismantling the barriers individuals experience that prevent them from accessing services. As a result, I use a sliding scale to reduce financial barriers and offer virtual morning, evening, weekend sessions to make counselling easier to fit into your schedule. I feel honoured to support you through your most difficult emotions and I will walk through them with you to brighter days.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may find that you’re simply going through the motions, questioning whether you'll ever be able to feel peace and joy, or wondering whether your relationships will ever become healthy and fulfilling. I’m here to help. As a therapist, I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing difficulty with: relationships, healthy-communication, codependency, self-esteem concerns, self-worth, depression, grief/loss, anxiety, self-acceptance, life transitions, and parenting.

If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, open-minded and engaging you’ve come to the right place. With clarity and compassion, I will support you to set and reach goals, break habitual patterns and find better ways of coping with the pain and stress of life. Most humans experience emotional suffering and have unwelcome thoughts. We get stuck in the past, worry about the future and have relationship challenges. We doubt ourselves and engage in painful self-criticism. When it's safely possible, I will return to in person practice in the Parkdale Highpark neighbourhood.

As a private therapist, I am committed to providing non-judgemental, client-centred and collaborative mental health support to all my psychotherapy clients. Using a variety of counselling techniques, I tailor sessions to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with.

While paying close attention to cultural factors, I assist clients to navigate barriers and inequities and understand how family, school, workplace and social environments impact them.

Our comprehensive DBT program is committed to providing compassionate & effective treatment for individuals who may experience intense emotions (such as anxiety, depression, anger, shame, guilt), impulsive behaviours (such as self-harm, suicide, stealing, substance use, risky behaviours), & stormy relationships (which could look like switching between pushing people away & clinging to them, challenges with saying no). We also offer trauma treatment through Prolonged Exposure-DBT and/or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) because many of the current day experiences, emotions & views of the world, are based on previous experiences.

Do you feel like you’re on autopilot, simply going through the motions of your life without the joy or energy you once had? Often, feeling stuck in our lives and circumstances can lead us into a cycle of unhappiness and stagnation that seems impossible to break. Therapy can be a great way to interrupt that cycle and begin living the life we want and envision for ourselves. My role is to meet you where you are and create a safe, non-judgemental space to help you move from a place of feeling stuck and overwhelmed to one with increased self-awareness, compassion, and purpose to reach your goals and desired changes in your life.
