Family Therapy in Toronto, ON
Since 1995 I have worked with children, youth and their families.
I believe that everyone on the planet can benefit from a finding a safe trusted professional who can join them on their journey of finding the answers within themselves. You are the expert in your own life. Finding a therapist is like trying on clothes because it is about finding the right fit. We all carry thoughts, feelings and emotions that cannot be seen. I want to support you in connecting your experiences to your self-talk and the manner in which you navigate through life. I use a direct and strengths based approach.

Our life experiences and exposure to unhealthy/traumatic situations can have a lasting impact on our daily lives evoking undesirable feelings and emotions. You may have every intention to set goals, experience happiness and be your authentic self, however intense emotions or negative reflections are hindering those abilities. Life challenges can cause a level of heaviness that is intrusive, and you should not have to bear that heaviness alone. I provide a secure and affirming space to address challenges such as trauma, stress, grief and life transitions.

I work with adults and teens in individual, couples, and family counselling.
Making sense of our story and how we have learned to move through the world can help us feel more grounded, connected, and able to respond with intention. Much of my work focuses on creating better choices in hard moments, learning how to respond rather than react when emotions run high, and making conflict easier to repair so connection feels steadier.

On the outside, things make sense. Inside, something feels quietly out of step. You may appear capable, successful, and put-together, yet no longer feel fully like yourself. You've built a life that works for others - often shaped by responsibility, illness or survival - but it leaves you asking persistent questions about identity, connection, and meaning.

You've built a life that works for others - often shaped by responsibility, illness or survival - but it leaves you asking persistent questions about identity, connection, and meaning.
The main purpose of my work is to provide adolescents, young adults and their families with high quality personalised therapy.
I'm a huge advocate for seeking help through challenging phases in our life. It is normal to experience complicated emotions, feel lost and disconnected sometimes. It is monumental to understand that struggling with mental health does not make us weak but makes us normal! If you have a mind- you have mental health, and we all struggle with mental and physical health at some point. I am a firm believer in the mind-body connection- our body ascertains and embodies the signs when we are struggling. Therapy can be a catalyst for developing lifelong skills and a gateway to becoming a more mindful, resilient and aware version of yourself.

My clients find my interventions particularly effective when I work with families and couples rooted in various cultures, as well as with individuals experiencing life transitions.
I believe that everyone has his/her path in life and ability to walk it. I think that life is a complex journey. My role, as a therapist, is to assist with navigation, finding the
tools to move forward, and to accompany a person. I am convinced it is possible to be passionate about life and generate energy for fulfillment. I am a psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapist and both professionally and personally I am guided by the following :
“No man can change himself into anything from sheer reason. He can only change into what he potentially is.” C. Jung Symbols of Transformation (1912/1952).

“Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.” -Rumi. In other words, there is a deeper truth under the surface of the narratives we tell ourselves. I’m all about deeper meaning, purpose, and identity, and I strive to uncover root issues and connect the dots in understanding how events have shaped your identity. The question is: Who are you now? Who are you becoming?

I look forward to building a deeper connection.

I offer a warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach is culturally sensitive and grounded in compassion.

You might be dealing with work stress, relationship changes, family tension, or maybe you’re not even sure what’s wrong; you just know something doesn’t feel right.
Do you feel like your mind is constantly spinning, overthinking, replaying conversations, and worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet? Maybe you're functioning on the outside, going through the motions, but inside you feel exhausted, disconnected, or like you're barely keeping it together. Many people I work with share this quiet struggle, trying to manage everyday life while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like they’ve lost touch with who they are. If that resonates with you, you’re not alone, and things don’t have to stay this way.

My therapeutic approach draws mainly from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
There are times in life when it’s hard to make sense of what you’re feeling. Perhaps you find yourself caught in patterns that no longer serve you, reliving a breakup, conflict, or betrayal, or carrying the weight of the past in ways that feel difficult to release. At the same time, the day-to-day can feel overwhelming; you second-guess yourself, question your worth, or slip into people-pleasing even when it leaves you feeling unseen. Shame and self-doubt can linger quietly in the background, making it difficult to trust yourself and move forward.

I work with clients and family members dealing with a variety of addictions.
Each client's needs are my highest priority. I create a safe and non-judgmental environment to allow my clients to be honest, to be heartful, and be true to themselves. I assist clients who have immediate needs for relief in mental health, and I also assist clients who have long-term ambitions.

I focus on individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship and career-related issues. My approach begins with compassionately and patiently understanding your lived experience. Together, we will apply evidence-based strategies, empathetic feedback, and practical coping skills to create change and build lasting resilience. We begin with a brief no-cost phone consult. It's best to book the initial phone consult by email or on our website. We will respond quickly to email or website inquiries.

My therapy practice is deeply rooted in celebrating 2SLGBTQ identities, neurodivergence, parenting, building a better relationship with your body and eating, and unpacking the impacts of trauma. If you tend to intellectualize your emotions and struggle to really feel them, my somatic and relational approach may work for you. You may already have a clear idea of what you'd like to discuss in therapy - or you may not! Either way is more than welcome.

Do you struggle with intense emotions that impact your relationships? Do you feel exhausted keeping it together through the day? Does it feel as if life will always be this way? Now more than ever, people are feeling disconnected from their selves and their relationships. I believe that there is another way to live. At Lived Collective, I offer therapeutic support for individuals and their loved ones with challenges related to Borderline Personality Disorder, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and suicidal ideation.

My eclectic person-centred style draws on Attachment and Polyvagal Theories, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I welcome clients looking for support related to ADHD/neurodivergence (including management, identity, masking, and burnout), anxiety, grief/loss, LGBTQ+ identity, pregnancy, parenting, relationships (dating, partnership, ethical nonmonogamy, separation), and other life transitions. I delight in working collaboratively with clients in holistic and trauma-informed ways, incorporating humour and mindfulness. I endeavour to be humble, with a decolonized, intersectional and otherwise anti-oppressive stance. I value individual identity and collectivism/community and support diverse genders, harm-reduction and various recovery pathways.

My ideal client feels overwhelmed by emotions or daily stress but is ready to understand themselves more clearly. They may deal with anxiety, anger, communication issues, or neurodiversity-related challenges. They want to feel calmer, more in control, and more confident. They’re looking for a therapist who is structured, compassionate, and skilled at connecting thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and who provides practical tools that create meaningful change.
