Therapists in Mississauga, ON

We are a team of Registered Social Workers, Registered Psychotherapists, Registered Marriage and Family Therapists and Interns who offer individual, couple and family therapy. We offer a safe, non-judgemental environment where we generate conversations that facilitate new possibilities for you, your relationships and life. We are committed to hearing, supporting and gently but appropriately challenging you. We utilize different approaches (including but not limited to person-centred, emotion-focused, solution focused, narrative, CBT etc.) based on the uniqueness of clients, and their needs and hopes for our work together.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.

In a world of constant negative newsreels, life can feel frightening and uncertain. Are you struggling with feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or disconnected? Do you have trouble sleeping? Perhaps your mind feels to be "on" at all times and you are having hard time quieting the noise? If so, I can help.

**See our website for other therapists accepting new clients** I am mental health therapist as well as a multi-faith spiritual and religious care provider (also known as a chaplain). My strength is working with anyone's faith and spirituality to help them with their mental health and spiritual journey. I work with all faiths and religious. In my practice, I see each client as a complex and unique person with stories, worldviews, and challenges. My goal is to aid you in accessing your inner resources such as the experiences you cultivate from your stories and the beliefs that find root in your worldviews to cope with challenges.

We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

I wear many professional hats. I am an MD, MACP, RP(q), a Clinical Researcher, a Project Management Professional, a Professor at George Brown College, previously an instructor for 15 years at UofT and a family oriented female. I am a published author in the Journal of American College of Cardiology, International Diabetes Federation and the Journal of European Society of Cardiology. I have a number of years worth of work experience in mental health. I have taken care of clients in the in/out patient settings. I believe in providing a non-judgmental and safe space for people to share. My aim is to build stronger communities.

I provide individual, couples & family therapy. Do you feel burdened by your thoughts? Are feeling overwhelmed? Do you find it challenging to fall asleep at night? Do you wish that you could just turn your mind off, to finally get a few moments of peace? I can help you take your life back, feel better, experience ease of being and get more restful sleep. I help individuals overcome anxiety, depression, burnout, overwhelm & stress. I also help couples who have many unmet needs; feel frustrated, resentful & angry in their relationship; struggle to communicate effectively; no longer experience intimacy or have lost trust.

I provide individual, couples & family therapy to children, youth & adults. Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety or sadness? Or maybe you have developed habits or behaviours that are holding you back? Is your life not everything that it could be? Whatever the problem, together we can work towards achieving your goals. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of children, adults, families & couples regain control of their lives & move towards a better future. We will build a trusting, caring & understanding relationship, while helping you to replace unhelpful behaviours & beliefs with ones that are more effective.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.
