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.

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.

Does it feel like something has stopped working in your life or your relationship, and you're no longer able to manage the way you used to? Are you feeling angrier, sadder, or more irritable than you used to? Or perhaps you are dealing with a difficult life event/transition and feeling like you're going it alone? I can help. I can be right there with you (and your partner, for couples work), and together we will explore what's moving in you.

The guidelines that define my psychotherapy work are firstly to establish a therapeutic relationship that could allow the client to feel safe and understood. Secondly, I facilitate reflection and discovery of new meanings on those significant issues in the client’s present life. Those issues could be specific, such as feeling concerned about relationships, self-esteem, stress, work, or they could be unspecific, such as feeling emotional, irritable, distressed, or unfulfilled. Lastly, my approach is tailored by the client’s needs and can encompass diverse strategies and techniques.

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 experience with a range of issues including, childhood trauma, violence, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting and relationship issues.

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.

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.

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.

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 finding it difficult to make sense of yourself, others, and the world around you? Is the noise in your head causing you to feel confused, overwhelmed, and lost? Have you found it challenging to understand traumatic experiences or stressful life events? Are you struggling to find joy? Life is beyond our control and that can feel overwhelming. Mood, anxiety, and stress symptoms can leave us feeling stuck, helpless, and hopeless which can have a negative impact on our relationships, education, career, personal growth, and daily functioning. Without support, we can feel alone, frustrated, dissatisfied, and confused.

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!

Loss, Grief, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Life transitions, Parenting Challenges and Relationship Conflicts impact self-esteem, identity and overall well- being. I support clients to make sense of their journey and to understand how their past experiences can influence their present challenges. I apply a person-centered approach in supporting both individuals and couples. My goal is to support you to learn new ways of coping, gain perspective on your life and develop insights that empower you to take the next steps on your path towards healing.

I am a family systems therapist who works with youth, parents and couples who have experienced various mental health challenges or are facing stress and anxiety due to relationship conflict. The families I tend to support are often feeling disconnected from one another and stuck in patterns of relating that often intensify their existing challenges. The foundation of my work is in building relationships where clients feel seen, heard and understood, allowing them to draw on their internal strengths. My role as a social worker is to help clients understand themselves and their relationships in a way that supports authentic growth.

Psychoanalytic (or psychodynamic) therapy can help us to become more aware of our thinking patterns and behaviours so we can better understand the obstacles that may be standing in our way. With time, we can gain new perspectives and develop the capacity to deal with life's twists and turns, and meet our needs over the long-term.

My therapy practice is Relationally Focused, which means that it is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of the therapy: for individuals or for couples. Our sessions draw upon our experiences of the past and bring to light how these experiences get repeated in the present- often without our knowing. Whether it is a way of relating that keeps repeating over and over in our lives, whether it is the same debilitating anxiety that keeps getting in the way of our moving forward, or depression that casts a shadow over our prospects of joy; these early life experiences (whether in childhood or older) keep

We all want to feel better and brighter, more joyful and alive. We crave rich, fulfilling relationships. Do you suffer from stress, anxiety, depression, or chronic health issues? Are you feeling stuck navigating difficult life transitions or relationship issues? Let’s work together to identify your strengths and work through your challenges in a warm, safe space using a gentle yet powerful process.
