Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Toronto, ON
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, self-doubt, or challenging relationship patterns take over. I see therapy as a chance to come back to yourself. It’s a space to slow down, connect with your emotions and needs, and explore your relationships in a way that feels safe and manageable. Together, we can make sense of what’s been happening, build strengths, and grow self-compassion. My hope is to help you feel heard and to support you in relating to yourself and others with care and curiosity.

I am currently accepting new clients! I’m a Certified Canadian Counsellor (C.C.C.) and counselling therapist with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology & Psychotherapy from the University of Toronto. Growing up in South Africa nurtured my appreciation for diversity, community, and compassion. My time volunteering in neurology wards in Cape Town hospitals allowed me to support people from many cultural backgrounds and from different walks of life. I have learned deep respect for each person’s story, and these experiences continue to shape my warm, grounding, and client-centred approach to therapy.

You've had the same argument so many times you could practically recite each other's lines. Or maybe you've stopped arguing altogether, and that silence feels even worse. You're sharing a home, a bed, a life on paper, but somehow you've never felt more alone. Maybe it's not your relationship that's falling apart, it's you: the anxiety that won't quit, the grief you can't shake, the feeling that you've completely lost yourself somewhere. Whatever it is, you've been carrying it long enough. And some part of you knows it's time to get some help.

Accepting New Clients - When anxiety, depression, past experiences, or relationship patterns keep repeating, it’s a sign something needs care, not judgment. Some problems make you feel stuck and are sometimes hard to understand. These feelings make it difficult to enjoy life and find your purpose. By learning to understand how these issues are affecting you, you can begin to discover a brighter path. I work with clients who are open to working on themselves, even when it seems impossible. Together we will assess what is most distressing to you, and develop a plan for how to move forward.

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. I work with folks in their 20-40’s navigating anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, BPD, trauma and Complex-PTSD. We all have moments feeling like our relationships are falling apart, feeling like we are disconnected from ourselves and others around us, when this becomes too much, too hard to carry and navigate on our own, we need help. That's what I'm here for. Often we view therapy as needed for big events, that we don't need it unless something major has happened. I'm here for those big moments, but I am also here for the small everyday life stressors.

I believe that we learn, change and grow in relationship with ourselves and others. With this in mind, I view the therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone of our work together. This means that in our work together, you should feel like we are a good “fit,” and that you feel connected, understood, and like you can be your full self in therapy. We all come to therapy as human beings first, and I draw on my experience as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend to inform my lens in the therapeutic process.
