Family Therapy in Toronto, ON
Areas of focus include school and work pressure, family and friendship struggles, mood, and navigating big life transitions.
Accepting new clients! I’m Marly — a therapist who helps people who are feeling stretched thin by the constant pressure of school, work, or relationships. When burnout creeps in, it can show up as exhaustion, irritability, overthinking, or that sense that no matter how much you do, it’s never enough. You might notice your confidence slipping, or find that stress and anxiety are making it harder to focus, rest, or enjoy the things you used to love. It can feel like you’re just getting through the days rather than really living them.

We specialize in Bottom Up Approaches like (EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Practices, Mindfulness) and Top Down Approaches like (CBT, DBT) in the healing of trauma and other mental health issues.
Do you find yourself caught in cycles of anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm—where even basic tasks feel draining, and it's hard to access a clear sense of self? Do you feel lost, burned out, or like you're just going through the motions? Or maybe you’re navigating relationship stress—feeling stuck in arguments, emotionally distant, or unsure if you can repair what feels broken. Whether the struggle is internal or relational, many people are quietly carrying pain while wondering if things could be different. I offer mind-body psychotherapy to support individuals and couples in creating lasting, meaningful change.

As an attachment-informed trauma therapist, I have over 13 years of experience in using evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems and EMDR therapy.
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.

Do you feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, pressure to perform greatly, imposter syndrome, or the fear that you’re “not enough”? I understand because I’ve lived it. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years performing on major stages while privately battling severe performance anxiety. Now, as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I support clients who feel stuck between who they are and who they desire to become. I aim to help you recover from trauma, find emotional regulation, reconnect with self-trust, and maximize your psychological potential.

I'm so glad you're taking steps to look for the connection and space you need. It can be hard to find a therapist that clicks. Therapy can be a space to cultivate radical acceptance, get clear on your relationship patterns, strengthen your resources, and sow the seeds for the courage to make shifts. Our work together is collaborative, working at the pace of your nervous system and at the speed of trust with yourself and each other.

Early life experiences can shape the way we think and feel about ourselves, and influence our way of being in the world. To get through difficult times, we put strategies in place, and while they're helpful at the time, they can long overstay their welcome and usefulness. Psychotherapy can help make sense of what was, what is and what's possible, making space for positive change. It can assist people struggling with depression, anxiety, anger or simply being stuck, by bringing awareness to the patterns and issues that have been standing in the way of living a fuller life.

Amidst the chaos and unpredictability of life, it can be incredibly challenging to feel grounded. As someone who has been in therapy myself, I know how important it is to have a safe space in which we can process the ups and downs we encounter as we move through the world.

You may be navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, chronic illness, menopause, or the strain of family relationships - while trying to stay grounded, set boundaries, and care for yourself under real pressure.
You’ve spent a long time holding things together. You’re capable, responsible, and used to managing - even when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stretched thin. From the outside, things may look “fine,” but inside you may be wondering why it feels so hard, why the stress, emotional weight, or burnout don’t seem to ease, or why you feel so depleted. Part of you wants relief, and another part wants to understand why this feels so hard – especially when stepping back or doing less doesn’t feel like an option. You need support that helps you understand what’s happening, without continuing to push yourself in the same ways you always have.
