Structural Family Therapy in M5P

As the founder of Informed Fertility, a counselling practice designed around reproduction and assisted fertility care, I am committed to supporting people experiencing infertility/loss, as well as those seeking assisted fertility options due to sexual orientation, gender identity or relationship status. I offer postpartum and parenting supports, as well as counselling for those moving forward without children. I provide counselling and assessments to people wishing to become donors or surrogates, and therapeutic support to donor conceived adults.

I am a registered Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I am dedicated to fostering emotional health and well-being for my clients. I specialize in areas such as grief, loss, perinatal mental health, depression, and anxiety and adjustment to illness. I utilize a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach to support my clients through various life challenges. Through my expertise I strive to provide an emotionally safe environment for clients to explore themselves with self-compassion, balance acceptance and change, acquire new skills, overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

When problems begin to impact our mental health and well-being, we may become overwhelmed with a wide range of issues. I provide counselling services to address the relational, emotional, and behavioral issues that arise from concerns such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, complex trauma, and so much more. My approach is non-judgemental, client-centered, and collaborative. I work with your knowledge, insights, and strengths in addition to my clinical skills in therapy. I draw on evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotion-focused therapy, family therapy, and more.

Are you a mom of a baby or toddler and feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of parenthood? Are you feeling frustrated with one of your children and unsure where to take this thought for fear of being judged? Are you desperately trying to break cycles of abuse and having trouble understanding your triggers? Or maybe none of this applies, but you are a mom wanting support . Either way, I would love to chat.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist serving individuals, couples, and families in Ontario. Since starting my practice here in Ontario, I have been given the privilege of helping clients overcome their relationship struggles and move forward with their lives. I work collaboratively to set goals with clients, helping them resolve personal problems, conflict in the family, and more. Each session offers a safe space for you to let it all out. My services are available in two languages: English and Russian. I can offer a more personalized service for those who need, since I know the culture, social processes, values, and traditions.

What is blocking you from being present and fully experiencing joy? What patterns are you stuck repeating, and why? These are questions many of us need to explore at some point in our lives.
