About
Are you fine one minute and not the next? You're sad and irritable or suddenly a wave of anxiety hits you from left field. Constantly struggling to get through each day hurts so much and you don't want to burden your loved ones anymore with your problems. Feeling down, angry, stressed, drained of physical and emotional energy or just plain stuck seems to be your new normal and you're tired of it. Something isn’t right and hasn’t been right for a while, not to mention those around you are expressing concern. If only you could better understand what's behind it all, deal with traumas, find relief and get your life back on track.
Imagine feeling yourself again – happy, confident and in control. What a joy! Wake up feeling excited to get on with your day after a good night's sleep with no nightmares. You feel in sync with your loved ones, lingering issues are resolved, and you finally feel like you can breathe. You're taking the all-important first step – let me help you get there.
My private practice is located in Toronto’s east end and am presently accepting new clients. I have openings in the evenings and on Saturdays because I know how difficult it can be to fit therapy into your busy life. A 30-minute free phone consultation starts the process and will give you an idea of how we can work together. Online appt. booking is available for existing clients. Visit my website to book your free consultation and 1st appointment.
