Are you wrestling with a problem at work or home? Feeling anxious or depressed? Facing a major life decision and feeling unsure about what to do? Feeling your work life balance is out of kilter? Struggling to make a relationship work? Or feeling upset after a traumatic event? In the midst of these difficulties you may feel discouraged and alone. Therapy can provide support and re-assurance as you explore what is troubling you. Talking to an empathic and knowlegeble therapist can help you better understand what led you to this point, and, more importantly, help you to cope, move forward and begin building a life that satisfies you.

I am a registered clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience. Most of my career has been spent as a therapist in the Anxiety Clinic at the Toronto Western Hospital (UHN). Anxiety can be experienced in many different ways: worry, panic, procrastination, avoidance, phobic responses and post traumatic stress are very common expressions of anxiety. I strongly believe that therapy should be a safe and collaborative process. Therapy can provide you with skills and tools that can be learned in session, practiced at home, and applied over time.

You're feeling overwhelmed because it feels like the rug has just been ripped out from underneath you. You were barely holding on a week ago, and now everything seems like an uphill battle. You’re stressed beyond belief and reaching out for help seems scary because you feel like you have nothing left to give. Everything has become uncertain. From the outside it might seem like you have everything together, but inside something's missing. You feel even more disconnected from yourself and others now because of the enforced self-isolation. Your wheels are spinning but you're standing still, using up all your energy to remain upright.

If you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed as you navigate relationships, career, and high self-expectations, you may find clarity and relief in therapy. In my practice, I employ an approach that focuses on helping you nurture your own ability to work through difficult situations and achieve a greater state of emotional wellbeing. Working toward meaningful change takes time, honesty with oneself, and a little bit of courage - it isn’t always easy to open up to somebody! My goal is to ensure that you always feel comfortable to express yourself and explore your concerns as we work toward empowering you to live a more fulfilling life.

I believe that as humans we are wired for connection and emotional safety. I take pride in helping working professionals who feel stuck in the same emotional patterns to live a more fulfilled life, and develop meaningful relationships. I am also passionate about helping couples navigate big life changes to deepen their emotional connection and intimacy. I am committed to creating a safe and empathic environment; my style is warm, curious, and collaborative. What we discuss and explore in therapy depend on your needs and goals. Together we will determine the best plan to help you reach your goals.

My goal is to improve the overall functioning of families and each family member, instil hope for a brighter future, and foster resiliency. I create a safe and supportive space, and help you/your family navigate these challenges and to develop/use skills.

A lot of time, our first instinct is to seek support when we may feel we are drowning in our current struggles. The first step is always the hardest, in where we fear we will not be understood. My belief is that because each one of us is unique, our struggles and thus our journey in healing will be too. I aim to be an anchor in these turbulent times and be a beacon of unfiltered, unconditional and non-judgemental space in exploring our internal processes. In collaboration, we can address motivational, acceptance, behavioural, cognitive, social, biological and cultural aspects that can work in tandem in maintaining our struggles.

Taking those first steps towards your personal recovery can be an overwhelming process - therefore, let me support you by providing the insight, skills and strategies necessary for your own growth and healing journey.

Life is about Connections…to people, to places, to memories and things. But the nature of life is that we will experience problems and challenges at some point in life.
