I'm a registered clinical and school psychologist. For over 30 years I've had the pleasure of providing care to a wide variety of individuals, couples, groups, and organizations from a diverse range of socioeconomic, cultural and sexually diverse backgrounds. My competencies include individual psychotherapy, couples work, crisis intervention & psychological first aid, substance abuse counselling, psychological & psychoeducational assessments & report writing.

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.

We are a collaborative group of experienced Psychotherapists who have been working together for years. We strive to facilitate change, resilience, well-being, confidence and increased satisfaction in clients' personal lives and relationships. We have developed a wide range of skills, as well as personal experiences which inform and enrich the work that we do. We are client focused and reflective, but we are comfortable with practical strategies and skills in helping people maintain integrity, healthier relationships and more satisfying lives. We are sensitive to differences, cultures, and personal stories. Our office is in mid town Toronto, accessible by subway.

You are facing a challenge and you are seeking ways to help you cope. Maybe you are feeling depressed, alone, overwhelmed or stuck on how to make the change you desire in your life. There are ways to get through it and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Therapy can offer hope and provide you with the support and skills to bring about a shift towards greater fulfillment and joy.

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.

In uncertain times the need for us to take responsibility for our own lives is essential. To experience being fully alive, we can't simply accept a destiny that other people or our culture want for us. We have to write our own story and walk our own path. My goal is to deepen your self-awareness and cultivate an acceptance of things as they are, not as we wish them to be, to bring light into the dark shadows of your life and restore your sense of who you are. We will seek to find the depth of your hidden potential and quiet the voices of self-doubt so you can ride the waves of human experience with grace and purpose.

Do you feel that you and your partner have drifted apart, and are living in a roommate relationship? Or has your life been turned upside down by an extra-marital affair and worried that you will never trust again? An affair doesn't have to mean the end of your relationship. I have helped hundreds or couples like you get back the love that seemed lost. As a Certified EFT Couples Therapist I can help you resolve the relationship problems that you can't seem to resolve together. Come see me in Toronto or Newmarket.

I offer Individual psychotherapy that is an inner journey of self-exploration focused on you, so you can find clarity of purpose in your life. With couples, I provide a safe space where both partners can share their thoughts, feelings and concerns strengthening their connection to one another. Additionally, I help my clients, their partners, and family learn how to cope with the challenges of addiction (and other traumas), while providing them with the support they need as they progress through recovery toward mental health, general self-efficacy and wholeness.

Drawing on a wealth of experience, and on several traditions, I offer effective therapy that is tailored to my clients' needs. I bring to my work a non-judgemental, warm, and interactive style, which helps promote desired change. I work with adult individuals, couples, and adult families, on relationship issues, adjusting to separation, grief, traumatic loss, trauma and PTSD. I also work with work-life balance and burnout, unblocking creativity, anxiety and depression, and managing anger. In addition, I offer consultation services to clinicians.

I have been working for 20 years in children, adolescent, and family mental health as a registered social worker and Child, Youth and Family Therapist, facilitator, and consultant. I specialize in children’s and family therapy, with particular expertise in helping families and youth with complex mental health needs that impact their ability to manage at home, in school, or both. 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.

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Are you troubled by patterns you feel powerless to change? Or perhaps you are feeling unfulfilled in your relationships? My clients are looking for help with life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, and addiction. They are millennials, creatives and artists, students, professionals, and individuals exploring therapy for personal growth. My practice is diverse in age, gender expression, race, and cultural backgrounds.

Are you overwhelmed by changes or loss in your life? Are you having difficulties in your closest relationships? Are you experiencing deep sadness and loneliness? Are you feeling isolated, confused, or hopeless? You are not alone. I am here to listen and help. Through our work together, you can: enhance your ability to handle stress and uncertainty; identify underlying causes of distress and understand what’s keeping you from being happy; improve your relationships, your life, your career; transform your self-doubt into confidence, courage, and self-worth; and heal the past, acknowledge the present, and look forward to the future.

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. Over the years I have worked with many individuals and families experiencing complex life challenges such as: trauma and substance use; mood & personality disorders, interpersonal relationship challenges, separation & divorce, blended families & parenting challenges with youth. I am certified in Clinical Traumatology, Compassion Fatigue and Cyber-counselling and have training in several relevant interventions/modalities including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.

I offer individual counselling services for adolescents and adults, using a combination of evidence based modalities, strategies, and tools that are tailored to your needs. I work with First Responders and their significant others, those experiencing infertility struggles, postpartum/ perinatal parents, birth trauma, and people experiencing depression and/or anxiety. I can help you identify your goals, develop coping skills, and process past trauma in order to optimize your everyday well-being, all the while feeling supported and safe.

Whether you are a busy working professional, a single parent, or an individual with health or mobility limitations, making time to access mental health services can be challenging.

Our goal is to be able to join you in your environment and stand side by side with you as you navigate the challenges of your daily life.
