Hello, and welcome!

If you are seeking Individual, Couple or Relationship therapy, whether in-person or virtually, you may be interested in my services. I am a seasoned Registered Psychotherapist in Toronto, and have been practicing for over 16 years. In that time, I have supported hundreds of people in finding their way back to themselves and to their partners.

Perhaps you are stuck in an old pattern, unsure of how to move forward. Whether you're dealing with low mood and anxiety, relationship and physical intimacy issues, or recovery from trauma, it is possible to change your patterns and create the life you want.

You can get in touch by emailing me here.

My work weaves together a robust understanding of human emotional needs, combined with awareness of neuroscientific perspectives in mental health. I support individuals, couples, polycules and family dyads in making meaningful, lasting changes. I am genuine and kind, and I challenge my clients from a place of respect and collaboration.

Intersectionally Feminist, Oriented to Racial Justice, Gender-Affirming and LGBTQIA2S+

I am committed to offering therapy from an intersectional social justice framework. I draw from personal experience to understand the complex ways that oppression and privilege can inform traumatic legacies. I am prepared to hold these aspects of your story with you as they arise.

Also, as a therapist and advocate for healthy communication, I am committed to dialogue, accountability and repair across global communities. As such, I condemn the current genocides in Gaza, Sudan and the Congo, and stand in solidarity with people who challenge these and other colonial projects. It is time for reflection, accountability and dialogue, with a view to genuine repair of the harm and injustices that continue to divide us.

Approach

Indvidual clients can expect a welcoming atmosphere in sessions. I am both gentle and direct. I am trained in EMDR, IFS, somatic mindfulness and emotion-focused modalities, and sessions may draw from these approaches to address your concerns.

Those seeking Couples or Relationship Therapy can expect a blend of Emotion-Focused Therapy, Behavioural and somatic mindfulness approaches to support exploration, repair and reconnection.
