Therapists in L7L

I enjoy working with pre-teens, teenagers and adults that have yet to find a fix to their life challenges. I work with a large number semi & professional athletes as well as first responders.

EMDR is a therapy that has you focus on a trigger or trauma while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (eye movement, tapping or tones), leading to a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the incident. Thoughts, behaviours, feelings, traumas or environmental triggers may be maintaining your stress, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, or other issues. EMDR and other methods can improve your physical, emotional and psychological health and wellness to increase your sense of well‐being, alleviate feelings of stress, reframe negative thoughts, or work through any recent crises or past traumas.

Life isn't simple, it's filled with experiences and emotions that can be overwhelming and stressful. As experts of our own life, we interpret and internalize various situations and experiences with different lenses and perspectives. Living in the most multicultural city in the world, we are given the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, insight and perspectives from various cultures and traditions that we can utilize to understand people. I provide an eclectic and holistic approach to therapy to deal with trauma, loss, relationships, conflict, and crisis.

I aim to work with you collaboratively to enable individuals to solve their social/emotional concerns. Over the years I’ve supported individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress management, coping skills, self harming behaviours, relationship issues and parent teen conflict. I understand stressors of life and how they may have an impact on individuals. Thus I seek to help individuals locate themselves in their daily situations, reflect and influence positive change.

Do you have a child or teen struggling with friendships, anxiety or difficulties at school? Is your family affected by these issues, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to help? Would you benefit from some strategies and tools of your own to support your child? Now more than ever, parents and caregivers are concerned about their children's mental well-being.
