Therapists Beginning With X in Ontario
If you're looking for a therapist who is warm, authentic, collaborative and non-judgmental, then we might be a good fit. I tend to do well with clients who are looking to understand the influence of shame and negative beliefs on their life, and those who'd like to explore how to move towards a better future for themselves. I have over 15 years of professional experience supporting people with issues related to mental health, relationships, and sexual well-being. My approach to therapy is guided by values of harm reduction, RACK, body neutrality, and respect for self-determination.

With over 4 years of focused experience supporting neurodivergent teenagers (e.g., Autism, ADHD, Selective Mutism, and learning differences), I work with teenagers and families through a neuro-affirming lens, using a trauma-informed approach to support nervous system co-regulation, unpack emotional burdens and numbness, and foster resiliency. I currently work full-time in a residential mental health facility, supporting adults living with various mental health conditions, including PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, sexual abuse/assault trauma, chronic suicidal ideation, and more.

Are you a mother of a baby or young child (4 months to 4 years) struggling with feeding, soothing, or enjoying time together? Maybe mealtimes bring tears, bedtime feels like a battle, or something isn't quite clicking between you and your child. You may feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure the bond you hoped for is really there. Many mothers carry quiet guilt or worry, wondering why parenting feels harder than expected. If this feels familiar, support is available.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain. Sometimes happiness feels brief, while most moments bring challenges: family issues, academic pressure, relationships, marriage, parenting, career stress, illness, grief, and life transitions. When facing these hurdles, do you find yourself pulled by conflicting inner voices, longing for a place to be truly seen and heard? Fate may test us, but perhaps it also offers a chance to grow. I’m here to provide a safe and warm space where we listen to those voices, understand our needs, and find meaning in our experiences.

Throughout our lives, we encounter a multitude of diverse individuals and situations. Some bring us moments of pure joy, filling our hearts with happiness. Others, however, can leave us feeling perplexed and disheartened. I recognize the complexity of these experiences and acknowledge the emotional impact they can have.

I work with people from all nations and cultures, and I work more with adults in my practice and with some Chinese when I also speak both Mandarin and Cantonese. Life is never smooth. From time to time, we need to seek help from others to face the challenges.

I will help you to identify your own feelings, emotions, values, faith, and strength to face your life problems causing stress, anxiety or depression etc. Hopefully we work together to find meaning and transcend life changes.

You might be someone who feels misunderstood, torn between who you are inside and who you think you are supposed to be. Maybe you hide parts of yourself to keep the peace, carry anxiety or sadness in silence, or feel caught between cultures, roles, or expectations. You may long for a space where you don’t have to perform or filter yourself, where you can understand your feelings, set healthier boundaries, and move toward a life that feels more like your own.
