I specialize in helping adults and adolescents (16+) experiencing conflict in the family, in relationships, or at work; difficult life transitions (e.g., postpartum, menopause, separation, grief); the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, or boundary violations; or want to explore neurodivergence, gender, or sexual orientation. My practice is integrative - includes CBT/DBT, psychodynamic, attachment and trauma methods (EMDR, tapping) mindfulness/transpersonal work. I provide space to explore your feelings and practice important adjustments. The goal is to help you move through your life with greater clarity and self-acceptance.
I spent years in an academic setting exploring depression in women, especially during times of hormonal changes. Research findings inform my work and I am happy to provide psychoeducation. That said, I am committed to an overall holistic approach that considers the interplay of biology, culture, spirituality, and social circumstances to mental health.
I am covered by all benefit providers that support psychotherapy. I currently have a few spaces available and provide a complimentary 20 minute consultation session to help us determine if we are a good fit. I work both virtually and in person from my office in the West Rouge region in east Toronto, ON. My practice is anti-racist, queer- and trans-friendly.
