Therapists in M4P

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page at the Psychology Today site. You may be searching for a therapist for the first time or perhaps you are returning to therapy after some time away; either way you have made a courageous step. Do you feel anxious or scared? Do you feel down or depressed and is it harder to bounce back? Is it a relationship break up or problems? Whatever you may be experiencing, we will sit together in a comfortable office and begin to unravel the issues you want to focus on, in a non-judgemental and gentle environment.

Are you Ready to Change your life? Our team of warm, caring, passionate and well-equipped therapists and life coaches can help you thrive in your career, relationships and any other area of your life that could use some improvement. We will help you work through any emotional or mental health challenges that you may be experiencing. Many people try to overcome these issues on their own. Running the risk of relapsing back into old habits and patterns or even spiraling further back from where they started. We’ll teach you the approaches and tools to help you reach your goals and set you up for sustainable success.

Whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or any other life challenges, we'll work together to find an approach which is right for you. I draw on theoretical, practical, and lived experience to help clients navigate their way toward better mental health in a way that fits with their values and lifestyle. Depending on your goals, we may challenge unhelpful thoughts, explore meaning and purpose, or simply engage in therapeutic dialogue, approaching life’s big questions from a place of curiosity rather than judgment.

Whether you're looking to improve your mental health, build stronger relationships, or face personal challenges I'm here to help. I see therapy as an engaging process of discovery, where I will professionally support you as we work towards your goals. As your therapist you can rely on me to work collaboratively with you to foster insight, self-compassion, and a deeper understanding of your emotions and needs. My clinical practice has supported clients to face a range of concerns including anxiety, OCD, relationships issues, eating disorders/body image concerns, sexuality, gender identity, grief, depression, and trauma.

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.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship between therapist and client is crucial to healing and the facilitation of growth. I strive to achieve this through connecting with my clients, understanding their goals and concerns, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings including private and non-profit sectors. I have gained substantial experience conducting clinical assessments and individual therapy through clinical internships and employment at several private practices in Toronto, Ontario.

What makes me stand out as a therapist is my focus on you in a holistic way. Coming from an anti-oppressive lens, I practice with the values of dignity, diversity, and self-empowerment at the forefront. I highly value honesty, collaboration, respect, and empathy, all of which are evident in the way I approach all sessions. The ideal outcomes in my practice are to enable and empower my clients to reach their self-identified goals within a supportive, empathetic, and therapeutic relationship. I will work with you to explore yourself and encourage healing while working within your window of tolerance.

Are you experiencing anxiety or panic? Do you feel depressed and overwhelmed with sadness? Are you having relationship issues, or has an important relationship just ended? I can help with that. I have the tools you need that can help you to feel better so you can take your life back. I have been where you are, and I want to help you so you don’t have to suffer anymore. It can feel like a struggle to get out of bed, to interact with others, or to go to school or work. It can be hard to take that first step. In your complimentary phone session, you will be heard, and greeted with gentle compassion, non-judgement, comfort and empathy.
