EMDR Therapists in Toronto, ON

I specialize in the treatment of trauma-related issues such as PTSD, complex PTSD (childhood or ongoing abuse or neglect), Addictions, Anxiety and Depression. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), along with a range of other therapeutic components that are research informed. My philosophy is that the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of a person all work together as an integrative whole and are ideally treated from this perspective in order to restore balanced living.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe, compassionate and understanding space. I strongly believe that effective therapy is rooted in a strong therapeutic relationship and will take time to develop this with you. I also believe in working in collaboration with you to ensure we are starting and pacing sessions based on your comfort and needs.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and daunting, but it does not have to be. I am a warm and welcoming therapist with a skill for putting people at ease. Together, we will work at your pace and comfort level to build relief, well-being, and self-compassion. In therapy, we will explore your experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment to help deepen your understanding, unburden past traumas and build a trusting relationship with your authentic self.

I help people on a spiritual path overcome death anxiety, autoimmune issues, pain, and grief so you can have the health & vitality you need to pursue your soul's mission (and have fun doing it)!

I am attuned and compassionate in my approach to therapy. I offer a non-judgmental presence to help you feel relaxed and clear about the obstacles you want to overcome. Painful emotions often provide useful clues into beliefs about ourselves, other people and the world. This understanding paired with new choices will help you to move beyond what no longer serves you. Using empirical techniques adapted to your needs we will work together on practical ways to create lasting change in your life and relationships. My intention is for you to leave sessions feeling inspired to approach life from a new vantage point.

I see you as the expert of your own experiences. I begin with meeting you where you are and work collaboratively with you to establish a strong therapeutic relationship. Foundational safety and trust is central to your healing process. My role is to bear witness, encourage you to look inward for insight and to explore patterns in your life. Together we can build internal resiliency for greater depth and richness.

I appreciate that asking for help and sharing lived experiences are whole-hearted actions. It is a privilege for me to provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults during times of great distress, change, and loss. Clients often describe a loss of meaning and purpose in their lives, overcome by confusing and messy emotions that sabotage their functioning. Some clients are acutely aware of their compromised quality of life whereas others would describe chronic life conditions. My areas of specialization include anxiety, psychological trauma, depression, grief and bereavement, terminal illness, and chronic illness.

Are you struggling to cope with experiences of trauma or abuse? I provide a safe and warm environment to support you to uncover and address the symptoms of your trauma, such as emotional distress, intrusive memories or flashbacks, harmful behaviours and unhealthy relationship patterns. I will help you to establish safety and stabilization in your body, environment and emotions and, in time, come to terms with your experience.

If you are ready to dive into your healing journey - to understand the patterns and where, why and how you are stuck, and how to get unstuck - then I might be the therapist for you. My approach is different - I offer longer therapy sessions (often 90 minute sessions) so that we can get to the deep healing work that is often required for you to make the shifts that you want for yourself. We go at the pace you need but with longer sessions we tend to get there more quickly, allowing you to get on with your life in the ways that align with your values, goals and vision for yourself.
