Gottman Method Therapists in Toronto, ON

Seeking out therapy is not only for when you or your relationship are in a state of crisis; therapy can also be preventative when things are going well, proactive when expecting challenging life transitions and reactive when distress starts impacting your daily life. I am ready to meet you where you are in your journey and support you to explore the past, to stand with you in the present and work with you towards future well-being and goals. I believe in the importance of healthy relationships and a comprehensive approach, so welcome working with individuals, couples and families.

We can’t be on top of everything - so that’s why reaching out and asking for help is healthy and necessary. In business, love or life, it’s hard to show up well if you aren’t aware of your unhealthy habits. I’ll help you get a better understanding of yourself and the people around you so you can create the life you want to live. I also work with couples to figure out what’s getting in the way of your connection.

I have been conducting psychotherapy/ life coaching for the last 4+ years. Prior to this, I worked directly with families in child welfare for over 8 years. My clinical approach focuses on exploring and supporting the potential of the individual. I also work with couples, using the Gottman Method . Therapeutically, I come from a humanist, existential and Jungian approach - supporting the client’s goals, helping them incorporate new habits and addressing their challenges. I am always learning and strive to follow the latest scientific research, therapy/coaching techniques, in productivity, human potential and developmental theory.

You deserve to be happy...and you don't need to struggle alone. Stress, worry, sadness, restlessness, frustration, anger, loss, or loneliness can all feel overwhelming at times...but care, connection, treatment, healing, and empowerment are all within reach. Within psychotherapy... insight, understanding, self-awareness, tools for coping, better functioning, and new ways of relating or behaving are all part of the process of change that you may be hoping for. Whether it be unresolved issues from the past or present circumstances and challenges, a safe, respectful, accepting, patient, and encouraging therapeutic space can be surprisingly rewarding, and make more of a difference than expected.

My psychotherapy approach is growth oriented, and focuses on helping clients develop insight and take action that leads to greater fulfillment, satisfaction and ease in their lives. I work with clients experiencing a variety of forms of psychological and interpersonal distress, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues and sexual concerns.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable to discuss your difficulties with a therapist. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, a new experience, or seeking meaningful change, I would be happy to help. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a warm and supportive atmosphere so that we can explore new insights in an open and non-judgmental space. Regardless of your reasons for coming to therapy, it is important for me that we work together to determine your goals and priorities. I offer evidence-based therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

While the experience of pain is universal, each one of us has a relationship to it that is specific and unique. I believe that every one of us has the ability to alchemize that personal experience into growth, awareness and ultimately, positive change. My passion is working with people in that process, and helping them discover their inner resilience and strength, while offering a variety of tools that can last a lifetime. I take a collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to therapy services for individuals, couples and families.

Are you unhappy with your relationship? Maybe you've been feeling unsupported or disconnected from your partner, or like they no longer listen to you? Does it feel like you've been having the same argument for weeks or months, struggling to communicate and stewing in frustrations rather than having productive conversations? If you're dealing with conflict, communication, or intimacy issues, you're not alone. If you want to learn how to reduce the arguments, repair past hurts, and have more fun together again, I can teach you practical strategies to help make your relationship feel like a partnership again.

Together, we will explore your concerns, discuss your goals, explore how you can influence change & supply you with the tools & resources to do so. We will collaboratively develop a treatment plan that suits your needs & preferences. You can choose to have sessions in-person, by video or telephone.

Many of my clients come to me dealing with an awareness of the discomforts in their lives that often show up as a result of an over active mind. They have a desire to understand and work towards a more integrated and peaceful life. We often spent time understanding the patterns that link to current behaviours and then focus on how to shift those parts that no longer serve and work towards believing in their ability to navigate and stay centred through the ups and downs of life that are inevitable. My sessions often contain invitations towards mindfulness and somatic awareness in a mind body approach.

I'm here to offer you insight and new perspectives towards the challenge(s) you may be facing and provide you with the skills and tools to navigate it. We will collaborate in understanding the nature of the issue and identify goals/values you'd like to move towards. When we live a life that is value-driven and meaningful, we are set up with the resilience to cope with future storms.
