Are you looking to understand your experiences and create a new path forward? Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship troubles? Perhaps something needs to change but you're not sure where to start or what change could look like. I'm a psychotherapist and accredited music therapist that's passionate about providing a supportive therapy space where teens and young adults can unpack their experiences and learn more about themselves.

As a Clinical Psychologist and a proud co-owner of the Roncesvalles Psychology Clinic, I help adults and couples with emotional, attachment and relationship issues. I specialize in relationships, marital distress, childhood trauma and mood disorders. My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I help people better understand their emotions and use them to be more self-accepting and create closer relationships. I help couples learn to express themselves in ways that prevent conflict and distress, boost intimacy and relationship satisfaction. By working at a deeper level, I help people create lasting change.

In psychotherapy, I foster a motivation for change and strengthen hope that life can feel meaningful again. In my work with adults, adolescents, and couples I help to develop self-compassion and self-acceptance in the struggle with a wide range of concerns related to: anxiety, depression, stress management, anger management, addiction, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship and family. I have extensive training and experience working with individuals struggling with the long-term effects of trauma, abuse, and neglect, including the assessment and treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Dissociative Disorders.

Whether you are coming with clear practical goals or for more open-ended exploration, my compassionate therapeutic approach will help you create more stability and move you out of habitual patterns of restrictions and avoidance, towards a meaningful and valued direction. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 20 years in both private practice and mental health settings. I have experience with a range of issues including, childhood trauma, violence, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting and relationship issues.

In therapy, you have the opportunity to hit the pause button on life for a moment. During this time it’s all about you—your thoughts, struggles and dreams. It’s a space where you can be fully accepted without judgment, just as you are. As your therapist, my focus is on listening to you with empathy, curiosity and compassion. I’m here to help you uncover more about yourself and move towards what is meaningful to you. I work in English and French with diverse clients facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions and self-esteem concerns.

Are you struggling with feeling sad, anxious, angry, ashamed, lonely, or confused? Are you struggling within yourself or in your relationship? Psychotherapy can really help. It helps enormously to have a safe person to be able to feel, express, digest and understand your experience with, including how it was shaped by your early relationships in life. Our early development powerfully shapes how we feel about ourselves and what we expect in our lives and in our relationships. More freedom, connection, and joy is possible. I work with adults, specializing in relationships, attachment, self-esteem, parenting, and trauma recovery.

I am a dynamic, highly skilled, and dedicated Registered Psychotherapist. I have over 25 years of experience working successfully with youth and adults, couples, and families. I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help and how important it is to find a therapist you feel comfortable with. We will work together to identify changes you want to make and establish therapy goals. My clinical therapy work is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. I act as a facilitator and guide, assisting clients to realize their goals for change, feel happier, and be more effective personally and professionally.

Anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and adapting to what life throws at us can be difficult, isolating, confusing, and painful. Whether you're going through a particularly tough time right now, or are dealing with a longer term problem, I'm here to support you through this challenge and help you on your journey to feeling like the best version of yourself. In therapy, I create a safe and compassionate space where we can turn towards your challenges in order to gain understanding, process difficult emotions, build skills, and move towards solutions and goals.

Life is full of contradictions: We can have close relationships yet still feel isolated, have the desire for change but feel attached to the past, and have the hunger to live creatively with the need for stability. As human beings, relationships are central to our lives. Patterns and painful repetitions can exist within our own internal relationship and with others. This can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, or lowered self-esteem. My passion is to provide a safe, honest, inviting and collaborative therapeutic space to explore and work through these inner conflicts.

Therapy is an act of consciousness. Through awareness, curiosity and a sense of play, we can explore and open up new ways of being. I’m interested in the human experience and the stories we tell to make sense of it. Informed by my literature studies, I dive into observing all angles of a story, finding patterns in behaviour, and exploring points of view. Understanding that you’re the expert of your story, I offer my queer, existentially-informed perspective to support you in aligning with your most authentic self.

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.

We all have relationships that affect us deeply every single day. The relationships that we hold are pieces in our lives that we navigate. The most important relationship we hold is that within ourselves. By navigating our individual sense of self, we also strengthen the relationship with have with others. I am here to guide you as you navigate your own unique culture, relationships, and feelings of stuck in your life.

Are you curious about where you get stuck in unhelpful patterns? Would you like to explore how you can access your own gifts and strengths to feel more connected? If your goal is to gain more ease, flow and comfort in relating to yourself and others, I can help.

Hello, I’m a Registered Social Worker (MSW) and Psychotherapist working virtually with clients in Ontario. I provide a safe and caring space to explore the struggles you are facing and guide you towards understanding, healing and overall balance in life. I work from an integrated, holistic approach. This means therapy is collaborative - you already have many strengths and inner wisdom; I shed light and guide you to identify how thought patterns, reactivity and perhaps old wounds keep you stuck. Through evidence-based, mind-body and spiritual approaches we work together so you can start to live with more balance, clarity and joy.

I am a registered therapist with over ten years experience working in mental health. I work from a client-centered approach integrating evidence-based practice with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I provide clients with a non-judgmental, safe environment that facilitates openness and encourages self-exploration. I am trained in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); encouraging clients to explore the inter-relatedness between thoughts, behaviours and emotions while helping identify maladaptive patterns.

If you choose to work with me I will strive to create a safe, respectful and meaningful relationship with you. I will listen carefully, with empathy and without judgement. Sometimes I ask a lot of questions in order to understand, to the best of my ability, what things are like for you. In working together to help me understand your story, usually what happens is that things start to make more sense for you too. Confusion often gives way to clarity. Feelings such as anxiety, anger, depression and isolation often subside as well.

My clients are individuals and couples seeking practical skills to improve communication, practice boundary setting, or working toward a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. My clients are diverse in race, religion, sexuality, age, and gender expression. My clients are people interested in learning more about themselves and how their worldview has been shaped.

Are you feeling disconnected and lacking intimacy in your relationship(s)? Are you feeling stuck in past hurts and betrayals including infidelity/cheating? Do you crave connection, understanding, intimacy and harmony in your relationships? Do arguments escalate quickly and leave you feeling unheard, misunderstood, and emotionally drained? Do small disagreements spiral into major battles, creating a toxic atmosphere in your relationship? As a relational therapist, I support couples and families navigating these common relationship difficulties and many more. A thriving and fulfilling relationship is within reach!
