Therapists in Toronto, ON
I believe in the inherent goodness and uniqueness of individuals and our capacity for growth and development given appropriate help and support within an accepting and non-judgmental space. I strive to see individuals within their specific social, historical, cultural, economic situations and their interpersonal and familial contexts. This allows individuals a safe space in which to fully experience themselves–to feel, make sense of, and re-weave, if needed, their own personal stories. I assist clients with relationship and life adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, women’s and 2slgbtqia +issues.

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! Starting therapy can be overwhelming and finding someone who is the right fit for you is so important. We often view therapy as being needed for big events, that we don't need it unless something major has happened.

Feeling stuck in survival mode? Life can feel like an endless juggling act—overwhelming, overstimulating, and leaving you unsure of who you are anymore. Perhaps you're also navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the challenges of late-diagnosed or suspected ADHD or autism (or both!).
Does your inner critic run the show, leaving little room for rest or joy? What would it be like to feel grounded, emotionally regulated, and confident again—to rediscover yourself beyond the chaos. Therapy can help you pause, reflect, and find the momentum you need to shift from simply surviving to thriving, with clarity and direction.

So often we can feel confused, lost, unhappy and anxious about our lives. Many times we notice that our relationships, families, health and careers may not be what we imagined them to be. We often question ourselves about why we may feel these ways. We search for answers and look outside of ourselves in healthy or unhealthy ways to find solutions. Despite this searching, we still feel like we are stuck, like there is a sliver in our soul. Often we feel overwhelmed and alone. You no longer have to manage this alone, the road out is possible. I can help you find your way through and into a life you love.
