Green Shield Canada Therapists in Toronto, ON

Are you ready to make a change in your life and are committed to the process of therapy? Do you have a willingness to show up for yourself and are able to take responsibility for your piece in the work? I enjoy working with individuals who have mood disorders such as anxiety and depression as well as emotional regulation and attentional issues. Are you someone who has thought about what you would like to get out of therapy and are ready to take the plunge and build new healthy habits? If so, you are my ideal client, regardless of diagnosis and life circumstances.

I work with adults who are feeling stressed: they may worry, panic or feel shy in social situations, may try to be perfect, may feel badly about themselves, or wish to express themselves more effectively, or to set clearer boundaries with others, or to be more assertive. I also work with people from the straight and LGBTQ communities who are experiencing challenges in their relationships, with sexuality, sexual orientation, alternative relationships, alternative sexualities, and gender. Many experience these challenges, but some may lose a sense of balance in their lives or the ability to enjoy life and relationships while trying to sort out their concerns.
