A strong and trusting relationship with your therapist is an important part of your therapy experience. My approach is non-judgmental, caring, authentic and collaborative. I will help you learn to validate your emotions, gain insight, and develop healthy coping strategies in order to achieve meaningful change. Since 2002, I’ve been helping individuals who struggle with a variety of difficulties stemming from emotion dysregulation including impulsivity, relationship conflict, self-harm, anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience from nearly 20 years as a therapist in the BPD clinic at CAMH where I primarily offered DBT.

I balance a genuine optimism for your well-being with a realistic understanding that life is inevitably hard sometimes. Therapy with me is a space to start to explore what wellness, healing, coping and safety looks like for you. Everyone is unique, including you, and so I integrate a number of therapeutic modalities, so that our work meets you where you're at and celebrates you as you are. I maintain a critical hope in my work alongside critical thinking skills; I understand that your individual mental health is impacted by the larger social structures we live in.

Note: My practice is now re-open for new clients again, daytime and limited evening spots. Are you going through a life transition? Do you want something different for yourself or for your relationships? Find ways to move toward a healthier place in a way that fits for you. Friends and family can be supportive; but, meeting with someone outside of these groups can lead to new insights, perspectives and change. Seeking counselling is a helpful way to get you where you want to be.
Divergent Coaching: Dr. L. Hua & T. Throckmorton
MBA, MA, PhD, PCC, BCC
From boardrooms to babies, burn rates to burnouts—you've been there. You’ve experienced fires and fascinations, exhilarations and exhaustion. You've known victory and felt pain, DIY'd and Googled, but something's amiss. Generic advice doesn’t cut it. Perhaps ADHD whispers amidst the noise. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck or maybe you’re just tired of searching for a better way on your own. Let's create one together. With a coach, your way is smoother, bolder, you-er, sooner.

We believe that as individuals, we are each searching for well-being and acceptance. For peace. We work with a philosophy that so much of what causes pain and distress in this world is connected to what goes on outside of the individual person. By taking this approach, finding peace and achieving well-being is not only about working on the self, but recognizing that society needs to change as well. We aim to work on both.

It is said that two heads are better than one but for many this is hard to accept. You may be very successful in certain parts of your life and this may make it easier for you to push other, troubling issues aside. This strategy never works indefinitely and ultimately your issues will begin to manifest in other areas of your life.Therapy can help. It will leave you better able to understand your challenges and, perhaps more importantly, to face them with new vigor.

When did becoming an adult get so tough? Do you ever feel like you woke up one day, and even though you followed all the steps you were supposed to, you continue to feel overwhelmed with anxieties about your life and the future? Did pressures from your family and friends lead you into a career path that you don’t love or a relationship that is unfulfilling, and now you’re wondering how to get your life back? I understand what it is like to reach a certain stage in life and feel misguided, unsupported, and unsure of yourself.

Therapy doesn't have to be scary! I know first-hand what it can be like to suffer in silence, longing for change, & struggling to find someone who "gets" you. If you grew up in a home where you didn't get the support that you needed, if you went through something that you feel like you have never recovered from, or if you feel like a black sheep everywhere you go, I would be happy to co-create a non-judgmental healing space where you feel seen, heard, & valued. We can work on things like learning to understand yourself, re-gaining control of your life, & appreciating the parts of you that have clawed you out of your darkest times.

Do you have a difficult time looking at yourself with compassion and acceptance because the way you react, behave, and feel is wrong? Maybe it’s reacting with anger and defensiveness, or isolation and shutting down. Maybe it’s feeling like you are not smart enough. attractive enough, or simply not enough. Either way, you are left feeling ashamed of who you are. Imagine a life where you did not feel this way. You did not feel controlled by your emotions, you found joy in the ups and downs, and you look at yourself in a positive light. Beginning therapy is nerve-wracking, but I hope you take a moment (and a deep breath) to reach out.
