Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Toronto, ON
Whatever is bringing you here, you don't have to navigate it alone. Maybe you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, going through a difficult transition, or carrying something that's hard to name. As a queer person diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I understand what it's like to navigate systems not built for you and to feel disconnected in a world that asks you to mask or conform. Together we can create a space where all of who you are is welcome.

I work specifically with Defiant Daughters. This is what I mean: for Defiant Daughters, therapy is a space to say the truths that feel unsafe or impossible to speak in your family. It’s a place to make sense of your upbringing, untangle family dysfunction and self-gaslighting, and reclaim your voice from the roles you were assigned, e.g. black sheep, problem child, entertainer, peacekeeper, the responsible one. You know you’re more than that, and you’re seeking a safe place for your grief, anger, sadness, pain, confusion, and trauma recovery.

Do you carry others’ expectations, silence your needs, or feel constantly exhausted and unseen? You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. You’re not alone. I support individuals from marginalized and racialized communities navigating burnout, cultural stress, identity, and generational patterns. Therapy is a space to slow down, feel understood, and rebuild confidence, boundaries, and self-trust — so you can move through life with greater clarity and ease.

Are you carrying anxiety, sadness, or emotions that feel too heavy to hold alone? Are you questioning who you are becoming, navigating family challenges, or moving through a life transition that has shaken your stability? You deserve a space where your feelings are seen and your experiences fully recognized. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, identity exploration, and life transitions. Using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy within strengths-based, anti-oppressive, and Africentric frameworks, we focus on coping, empowerment, culture, and the resilience you already carry.

Life can have a way of challenging us into transitions we didn’t plan for or expect, leaving us feeling unprepared and overwhelmed at times. If you’re feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply exhausted, know that you don’t have to face these times alone.
As a Registered Social Worker (MSW), I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore these challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients understand how systemic oppression, personal relationships, and life transitions have influenced their mental and emotional well-being while fostering strategies to nuture their inner resilience.

Sometimes we can feel disconnected from ourselves or from those close to us. Perhaps there are strong emotions pulling in many directions all at once, or a numbness with no explanation at all. In such times we feel anxious, overwhelmed and alone. There is safety in feeling accompanied by someone who cares, and can help find balance again. I believe our feelings can be great teachers, though often confusing. In this way, I believe we do have the answers within us. Unlocking them is a process: giving voice to emotions, being seen and understood, discovering a new awareness, taking steps gently in a new direction.

If you’ve struggled with substance use, you may have encountered a lot of certainty about what you should do,and very little curiosity about why you use in the first place. You may have been told that abstinence, or willpower are the goals, even when those approaches left you feeling worse: more anxious, depressed, disconnected, or ashamed.
I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults with substance use concerns, grounded in harm reduction, curiosity, and respect for autonomy. Rather than starting with the assumption that substance use is the problem, we explore what it has been doing for you,and what might lie underneath

My approach to healing is largely informed by my own experience in individual and group therapy. As a therapist, I show up as my authentic self and believe that creating a safe therapeutic environment is the foundation to building trust and connection. I believe that feeling seen and heard by a person we feel safe with allows us the vulnerability to move towards and process difficult feelings and experiences. My hope is to support you to connect more fully with your thoughts and feelings and explore how your life experiences may be impacting your well-being and preventing you from feeling fully connected to yourself and others.

I am registered with the College of Psychologists (CPO) and all of my services include clinical supervision with CPO registered Psychologists, which inform my continued professional development. Research in the area of 'common factors' emphasizes the client-therapist relationship and factors that are unique to you and your life circumstances as important predictors for therapy success, and it informs my approach to support you in creating positive change. I meet clients non-judgmentally, and my approach is uniquely dynamic, collaborative, and solution-focused, with therapeutic presence and authenticity.

If you’re a young adult in your 20s or early 30s seeking a respectful and non-judgmental therapist, I specialize in the unique challenges faced by your age group. I respect each client's ability to make their own decisions (and the need for more than just validation from a therapist). You may be struggling with relationships, negative thoughts, problematic emotions or behaviours, identity, and/or low motivation, self-esteem, or purpose. Let's collaboratively improve your self-awareness, self-esteem, thinking patterns, goals, and coping strategies. I am also an ADHD clinical specialist. Some of my clients are parents of young adults.

You are important! I often hear my clients sharing their feelings of not being heard by their loved ones or not knowing where to start in their healing journey. I use self-compassion and your strengths as a starting point to build coping strategies. My goal is to always give you a space to be heard and someone on your team so you know you are not alone. I find the warmth of emotion-focused therapy and integrative approach of psychodynamic therapy combine to create a kind and deep understanding of my clients during their process. Your needs and boundaries are important, together we can work on building confidence and self-advocacy.
