Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Toronto, ON

Life is full of unexpected highs and lows and we all need to feel supported, encouraged, and cared for, whether it be during times of hardships or on a regular basis. My intention is to create a safe and non-judgemental space to help you share your story, understand your needs, grieve your losses, and celebrate your accomplishments. Life can feel complicated and busy, so we don’t always make time to acknowledge and care for our mental health. Together we can work to explore situations and find patterns in your life that may be standing in your way of moving towards your goals and figure out new ways to approach old challenges.

Hello and welcome! I am a practioner who is passionate about supporting folks in building a life that is meaningful and value-driven, in spite of whatever challenges are present.

Self awareness and mindfulness can lead to more effective and meaningful relationships and enhance overall health and well-being.

What needs to shift so that you can live more fully in the present moment? In therapy, I regularly check in with people to ensure the experience feels safe and supportive.
