Is there a tug inside you, aching for your life to be different or better? Conflict between your inner voice, that whispers its wisdom, and influential norms that impress you with what you “should” do? You may be questioning your sense of belonging in this world. Worries of whether you’re good/smart/capable enough. Existential concerns of whether you are doing yourself, or your spirit, justice. You may wish to free yourself from patterns learned in childhood, or the professional culture you now find yourself a part of. At heart, you wish to experience a peaceful sense of self, joyful relationships, and meaningful work.

Existence can be a struggle, especially for folks holding identities marginalized by the dominant forces in this society. In all the joyful, unnerving, enraging moments, with their coexisting complexities, we sometimes need a place to unpack our experiences. I hope to cultivate space to lay down this baggage and examine, deconstruct and make choices of how we relate to the stories we carry, to each other and to ourselves. Through work at community addictions agencies in the GTA over the last nine years, I have supported individuals and families dealing with the effects of substance use through counselling, advocacy, and care.

I’m a clinical social worker and I provide psychotherapy to clients struggling with challenging life experiences. It can be difficult to feel understood or to cope when experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict or low self-confidence. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help, and I can provide a safe space where together we focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable life challenges. I have more than a decade of experience working with adults (18+) dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment issues, grief, shame and guilt, interpersonal conflict, and perinatal concerns, etc.

I work with people facing personal or circumstantial restrictions. I consider that human beings have the potential to create positive impact and to be proactive in every stage and life situation. I believe people make the best decisions that they can, with the resources they can access. I believe that when the mind and emotions are in harmony, people gain access to the best versions of themselves. My practice provides a space to reflect on daily life challenges and helps to overcome those through self-exploration, self-awareness and consciousness that allows people to break old patterns and move forward.

Do you feel isolated due to chronic pain or illness? I personally understand as a disabled woman and therapist. The isolation many have felt in 2020 has been really challenging especially those with chronic pain/illness. Maybe you are struggling with big life decisions like other-hood instead of motherhood or something else completely. Maybe you define your self-worth by how many people love you, by how you look or by what you do - yet you feel like you're never enough. You thrive on drama even though it treats you like a yo-yo. You do not believe your body is working for you, or maybe you yearn for connection but run from it.

Life isn't always easy. It's not unusual to feel hurt or confused. People we count on are not always there for us in times of need because some people reach out when upset and some retreat. This can leave us feeling abandoned or overwhelmed. Therapy uses curiosity about our inner world to become more resilient, self aware, and engaged. Not all problems get solved by random talking. My tools help you get unstuck and deepen your sense of intimacy with yourself and others. Even your first time in therapy can be comfortable and productive.
