Therapists near Church And Wellesley helping Adults with Intimacy Problems

Danny Firestone is an Individual & Family Therapist (RP) with over 30 years of direct service experience. He has spent his adult life working with adolescents, young adults and families struggling with the problems that result from overwhelming challenges in regulating their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. As a particularly empathetic and skillful therapist, he has built a reputation for working with the hardest to serve clients. Danny’s strengths lie in his ability to “go where angels fear to tread”. He believes that no matter how self-destructive or impaired someone is, they deserve a therapist who will do what it takes to help them find a better way to go through life, and he is confident enough to journey with them through their darkest thoughts, feelings, and experiences. His greatest strength may be his ability to conceptualize the problem from the client’s point of view, allowing him to engage more difficult clients and help them work towards more integrated, less dysfunctional lifestyle. He understands that many young people and their families are struggling with powerful negative emotions, impulses and behaviours, and they have become trapped in “the blame game”. He believes “the truth shall set you free”, and he is known for his ability to take on “the elephant in the room”. He is prepared to fight the good fight, even when it gets messy. He will ask the difficult questions, challenge you when you are full of unresolved contradictions, and support you throughout the process. He believes that empathy and compassion are essential tools for living a good life, and that all people, no matter how hopeless they feel or how much they struggle, have the capacity for change and the desire to live a life worth living. He also believes that people have to live skilfully to get the most out of life, and he has devoted his professional life to helping people learn and live these skills. The skills to accept the things they cannot change, the skills to change the things they can, and the skills to determine the difference.

Psychotherapy can help you better understand yourself to relieve symptoms of sadness, loneliness and fear. If you are stuck in painful patterns of thought or behaviour, I can gently help you learn tools to slow your racing thoughts at night, lessen the worry that keeps you isolated, and reduce the impulsiveness you find both unbearable and irresistible.

I provide therapy to people facing life transitions, working through difficult relationships and coping with traumatic experiences.

In private practice for more than 15 years with a focus on helping people in the LGBTQIA2S+ and poly communities addressing, normalizing and destigmatizing feelings and issues of sexual identity, sex and ‘romantic’ relationships and the like. Other areas of expertise include food and addiction issues, personal and family relations, anxiety and more.

I work with clients to identify concerns relating to histories of trauma, symptoms related to mental health concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, depression, concerns related to sexuality, gender, and sexual orientation. I approach therapy from a client-centred, strengths-based, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed perspective. I aim to work with clients from a gentle, empathic, and collaborative standpoint that allows the client to approach experiences at their own pace and level of comfort. I practice a feminist relational-cultural model of therapy wherein clients will identify ongoing difficulties that they are experiencing and we will work together to identify relational patterns. I incorporate Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and attachment theory in my work with clients.

You've spent years hiding your emotional pain away from yourself, struggling with life's challenges, and experiencing a sense of "stuckness" in your life. As someone who has been on my own path to healing, I recognize the courage and strength it takes to reach out to someone for help. I will meet you where you are - be another human being in the room. You can expect to find a warm, calm space with empathetic listening. A compassionate space for collaboratively exploring your healing. Psychotherapy offers the chance for pinpointing the emotional pain that we've so effectively hidden away from ourselves. My name is Spencer Nageleisen. Several years ago, in my mid-twenties, I realized I was unhappy in life – put simply I was stuck and in need of clarity on what it meant to live my truth. I sought the help of a therapist and through extensive work was able to break free from the stuckness and finally begin living my truth. I went back to school to complete my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and I am now a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) working with youth and adults on a variety of issues. I have experience in assisting with anger, depression, anxiety, insomnia, relationship issues, school challenges and other life’s struggles. I work from a person-focused perspective and integrate many different treatment modalities to individually tailor treatment so that you will get the most out of the therapy experience. My own lived experience helps me to appreciate better the needs of gender and/or sexual minorities. Allow me to accompany you with empathy and compassion as you overcome the challenges holding you back from reaching your goals, achieving fulfillment, purpose and meaning. I welcome you to check out my website for more information.

Life can be incredibly difficult to navigate at times. And it is in these times where we may need a little extra help to find our way through. My name's Catherine and I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor with over a decade's worth of experience in doing just that, helping people through.

You were probably told that if you do everything like people around you, you are going to be happy. However, life has proved otherwise. You look around and it feels like everyone but you has it all figured out: relationships, jobs, family, passions. Instead of happiness and a sense of fulfilment that you thought you should have by now, there is an emptiness inside of you. I am here to tell you that it does not have to be this way. We can see what’s really going on if we take a pause and pay attention. Then, we can see what we can do, together, to help you get where you want to be. Therapy is an investment in self. Yes, it can be hard but it is worth it. I don’t give shallow and quick fixes. Instead, I work on a deep level that creates long-lasting effects. I provide an eclectic approach to healing and growth through Brainspotting, IFS, CBT, and other therapies. I believe that every person can change and sustain that change. I provide a caring and safe space for you to be yourself. If something in your life seems to be out of control, if you feel stuck or that you need some help navigating the world, I invite you to make sense of it together and figure out the solution that will work for you. Contact me today to book a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Hi, I’m Laila Hemmat, a Registered Psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about your next step, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, and EFT—tailoring each session to your unique needs. I work with adults, teens, and couples and have a deep understanding of the complex emotions that come with healing. I offer virtual sessions across Ontario, with flexible weekday and weekend availability. If you’re ready to feel more empowered and connected to yourself, I’m here to help.

I am a creative and expressive arts therapist who uses a variety of art forms, as well as mindfulness and talk-based therapy, in my work with clients. You don’t need experience in the arts in order for us to work together. I am relational and client-focused, so I take my lead from you. Depending on your needs, we could spend a lot of time in the arts, or very little. When working in the arts, I work from a low-skill, high-sensitivity framework, meaning that it isn’t important to make ‘good art’, but rather to stay present, sensitive and curious as the process unfolds. In our work together, we may engage in anything from visual arts, to drama, movement, creative writing, or music. When we engage the arts, we move into the world of the imagination where surprises are more likely to occur and possibilities are opened up that had previously been hidden from us. You don’t need a history or background in the arts, only a willingness and openness to explore creativity. When we begin using the arts, I will guide you in a way that is sensitive to your own concerns and curiosities.

I work with individuals with varying cultural, spiritual, sexual, and gender identities. My clients are often having difficulty managing the demands of daily life. Sometimes a new baby, a demanding career, a difficult relationship, or past trauma. I support people experiencing the effects of stress, anxiety, depression and post-partum depression and parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, and complex mental health concerns such as psychosis and bipolar disorder. Whether you are looking for a therapist to help process your distress, introduce new skills, or simply listen, my goal is to support you in accomplishing yours.

Life can be very overwhelming, and often finding the right therapist can help us to cope with life's many challenges. I am a licensed therapist specializing in the fields of trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and family/relationship conflict. In the past, I volunteered as a crisis aid-line worker, then worked as a therapist in a community agency for 6 years where I was lucky enough to train for 1 year with a renowned psychiatrist who specializes in trauma. 12 years ago, I began my private practice in psychotherapy and I truly love what I do. Sessions are offered virtually or by phone at this time. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. This is an opportunity for you to get a sense of me, to ask questions, and for me to have a better understanding of what you are looking for through therapy. I am integrative and use evidence-based therapies. We work together as a team using psycho-education, tools and therapy methods that will work best for you. I have training in Mindfulness Meditation and was a yoga teacher, and I have training in body-centered therapy approaches. In order to heal, it is helpful to work with the thoughts/belief patterns, emotions, nervous system (increasing feelings of safety), and body (building tolerance to felt sensation/emotions & increasing our window of tolerance).

Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, or burdened by emotions they haven't had the space to express. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you can talk through what’s been going unsaid and begin to reconnect with yourself in meaningful ways. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I specialize in working with individuals navigating postpartum challenges, early childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. My approach is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based methods, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices to meet your unique needs. With over 10 years of experience in physical rehabilitation, I bring a deep understanding of the mind-body connection to my work. I pay close attention to how emotional pain often shows up, helping you not only process experiences mentally but also rebuild a sense of safety and strength in your body. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I would be happy to answer them. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey toward healing and growth.

I am a reformed intellectualizer who now helps individuals and couples heal through body-based psychotherapy. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies, whether this be because of pain, burnout, trauma or emotional numbing. It can be impossible to feel sometimes. While our bodies are smart and have adapted to our trauma, there is also a way to reconnect and heal. While working with our bodies is one passion of mine, another is working through our relationships. People are not islands; we heal through healthy relationships. And so, I also work to foster a collaborative space for us to explore your goals and improve your well-being both one-on-one and through couples counselling. If you are interested in learning more, please contact me to set up a free 15-minute consult call. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Are you neurodivergent? So am I. I'm an AuDHD (autistic & ADHD) therapist with experience in supporting neurodivergent, racialized, and trauma-impacted communities. The people I've worked with often struggle with their neurodivergent traits, are second generation immigrants trying to navigate two different cultures at once, are racialized individuals looking for a safe space, and/or have been impacted by trauma in some way. I've helped folks work towards growing and healing from the mental health struggles that come with these experiences. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your specific needs. Some folks work best in an unstructured environment that allows them to tap into their inner strengths. Others thrive when they're provided with specific tools and strategies. And some like a blend of both. We'll discover what the best fit is for you so you can get the most out of therapy. If you're curious to know more or think we may work well together, feel free to let me know if you'd like a free consultation. Whether or not you think we're a good fit, I'm also more than happy to help you with your search to find the best therapist for you. Let me know and I can email resources and tips for finding the right practitioner.

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from York University. My predoctoral residency was at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in the Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis Service and the Borderline Personality Disorders Clinic. For the next five years, I remained at CAMH as a postdoctoral fellow and staff psychologist. My dissertation research focused on how clients and therapists fit together and work productively through a concept called the working alliance. I offer individual psychotherapy for adults experiencing difficulties with anxiety/stress, mood, substance misuse, psychosis, interpersonal issues, and problems in adjusting to new life circumstances. My clinical practice is rooted in evidence-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), with which he integrates other therapeutic modalities, including emotion-focused therapy (EFT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife and daughter, reading, playing sports and games, and exploring the outdoors.

I use a collaborative approach to create a safe space for clients to work towards personally-meaningful goals. I have numerous years of personal and professional experience with substance use and mental health concerns, and have a non-judgmental and compassionate approach to working with clients experiencing challenging thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. I welcome people from all genders, sexual orientations, religions, cultures, and ethnicities. I work from a Person-Centered Approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) strategies.

My approach is grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and change. My intention as a counsellor is to empower my clients to find more effective and flexible ways of relating to their struggles so that they can reconnect with the kind of life they find most meaningful. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that are no longer serving you, and develop practical strategies that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. I am committed to creating a warm and compassionate space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported as you work towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Training/ Experience: I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from Carleton University and am a Registered Social Worker in Ontario. I have experience providing psychotherapy through work with Employee and Family Assistance Programs, as a Withdrawal Management Counsellor, as well as with clients involved with the justice system. Most recently, I have been working as a Social Worker at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).

I appreciate that change is hard. Therapy––learning alternate coping skills, trying new behaviours, and facing your fears–can often feel uncomfortable. To make the hard work of therapy worthwhile, I will collaborate with you to uncover what makes your unique life meaningful. We will examine barriers to your meaningful life and develop a plan to overcome them. My theoretical orientation is rooted in cognitive-behavioral and behavioral frameworks. I incorporate strategies from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to facilitate meaningful and lasting change for my clients. I work from a non-judgemental, collaborative, and person-centered stance, organizing interventions according to a client’s unique context, readiness to change, and life goals. I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Dalhousie University. My doctoral research focused on the intersection of emotion regulation and sexual well-being among romantic couples. My pre-doctoral residency was in the adult psychopathology track at the Charleston Consortium. Through the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the Ralph H Johnson Veterans Affairs Medical Center, I completed rotations in the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Clinical Team, the Couples and Family Clinic, the Hollings Cancer Center Tobacco Treatment Program, and the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Clinic for Emotional Disorders. I have trained at leading mental health care facilities in Atlantic Canada and in the Southeastern United States, including the Nova Scotia Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, and the Institute of Psychiatry at MUSC. In my free time, I love creating music, spoiling my cat, riding bikes, being in nature, reading, and spending time with my family.

I’m committed to creating a safe and comfortable space for people of various genders, sexual orientations and identities, ethnicities, religions, and cultural backgrounds. I strive to approach everyone and all situations in an open-minded, genuine, and compassionate manner. I aim to work collaboratively with clients to help them reach their goals and live the life that they want. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology at Dalhousie University and completed my pre-doctoral residency at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). I provide therapy to adults struggling with various difficulties, including anxiety, depression, psychosis, stress and burnout, low self-esteem, identity development, and assertiveness. I have experience providing evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

We are inter-dependently connected, and yet there is dis-connection. Healing involves connecting with ourselves through each other, and connecting to each other through ourselves. Interpersonal harm, systemic barriers and institutional violence impact each and every one of us. My practice is rooted in de-pathologizing, neurodivergent-affirming, anti-oppressive, de-colonizing, class conscious, trauma-informed frameworks, and enriched by my lived experience as queer, trans, and neurodivergent.I focus on three inter-related areas: 1) Gender, Sexuality and Relationships 2) Neurodivergence 3) Creativity and Work/Life Balance. I offer CBT, DBT, Narrative, Psychodynamic, Relational, and Feminist therapy, as well as therapies designed to assist in healing from gender, sexuality, and autism conversion therapies. I offer complimentary 30 minute in person consultations to help us decide whether we would be a good fit for each other.

To suffer is human – but to grow and heal is also human. In life, you might experience stress, anxiety, self-criticism, anger, sleep problems, chronic pain and disability, difficult transitions or relationships, and other challenges. Sometimes, you might feel so stuck or overwhelmed that your usual coping tools are not quite enough. It can be helpful to seek support from a professional who empowers you to overcome life’s challenges by helping you tap into your inner resources and develop new ones. I am a therapist with years of experience offering such support. I have 8 years of experience in mental health. I work with adults (17+) with diverse backgrounds, identities, and concerns. I value culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive, accessible therapy; and I aim to provide a space of empathy, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard. Drawing from Mindfulness, ACT, CBT, and other therapies, I support clients in changing how they relate to themselves and their experiences; modifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving; increasing their understanding of their emotions; and acting in line with their values. I help individuals find self-compassion and inner peace in the present moment while facing hardships; and I endeavour to bring empathy, authenticity, insight, and calm into therapy and into clients’ lives.

Western society teaches us that challenges with emotional and mental well-being are rooted in individual difficulty with coping, functioning, or adaptability. As a result, we might attempt to tackle these issues using our willpower, intellect, and behavioural changes. If these attempts fail to bring us the inner peace or lasting change we desire, we can begin to feel ashamed, alone, and stuck. It is my belief that challenges with mental health, emotion, and relationships do not exist in a vacuum. These are more than personal failings at coping and functioning. Chronic stress, trauma, illness, relational challenges, systemic oppression, and the pressures of capitalism shape both our well-being and our attempts to get well. In welcoming this understanding, we can begin to uncover the deeper questions of your healing work. My approach to psychotherapy is intuitive, deeply compassionate, and rooted in commitment to anti-oppression and social justice. I value a highly collaborative approach: together, we can explore who and how you are in the world, and where you wish to go. Working at the pace you set, we can strengthen your connection to self, and to the deep inner wisdom that will create the blueprint for your healing journey. In my work I draw on evidence-based modalities, including relational, minfdulness, experiential, existential, and feminist approaches. I support clients with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, family conflict, low self-esteem, substance use and gambling concerns, chronic illness and disability, traumatic brain injury, intimate partner violence, trauma, and sexuality issues. I welcome you to arrive in therapy as your authentic self. My practice is trauma-informed, sex and sex worker positive, and committed to the uplifting of the LGBTQ2S+ community.

They say when life brings lemons, make lemonade; however, it is not that easy to deal with loss, grief, pain, and patterns of heartbreaks with as much courage as we would like to. A mental health professional for more than two decades, I work with clients to achieve their goals through steadily unfolding the patterns of experiences with a lens of trauma-informed practice. My approach includes a combination of CBT, EFT, Mindfulness, and somatic strategies, and continuous learning enables me to incorporate newer evidence-based practices.

Most of us seek psychotherapy when our efforts to change aren’t working as well as we’d like. We may have tried using willpower, and met with limited results. Or we may find ourselves repeating the same patterns in our relationships despite our best efforts to do something different. My goal as a therapist is to create a collaborative relationship in which we work together to understand your inner life in the service of your goals for positive change. Sometimes that means helping you to tune in to aspects of yourself and your experiences that are influencing your life in confusing or troubling ways. Sometimes it means making sense of psychological symptoms that limit your satisfaction or constrict your choices. Whatever the specific issues we are addressing, our focus is always on helping you approach current situations in your life with the greatest possible clarity, flexibility, and freedom.

Together, we’ll explore actionable strategies to help you reduce conflict, build deeper relationships with your child, and navigate parenting with more clarity and ease. If you’d like to explore working together, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Every being is uniquely special and everyone’s experience is vastly different.It is my goal to honour your individuality and be a collaborative participant in your journey towards growth and self-exploration. I work to create a strong, trusting bond with you within which we can make positive change happen. It is important that you feel understood as you are, in what ever uniqueness that brings. Through connection and compassion, I believe that many things are possible. With over 6 years of experience, I draw from clinical approaches such as CBT, DBT, and somatic psychotherapies in a trauma-informed manner. I have supported individuals with behavioural and emotional difficulties, have specialized experience in substance use treatment, and hold a special interest in supporting those involved with the criminal justice system. I strive to practice from a client-centred approach. You are the expert on your experience and it is my role to work alongside you to achieve your goals in a safe environment. I value providing a non-judgemental space for you to share your story, explore your goals, and achieve a life that feels valuable to you. I look forward to connecting with you.

“Many people’s idea of the Self is like a rock. Something that must be formed, ‘set’, and unmovable. And yet, the Self is more like water—flowing, changing, navigating around the things in its path. Your fluidity is your power, not your weakness.” - Sara Kuburic (It’s On Me) Accepting new clients!

With a culturally sensitive approach, I support you in fostering resilience and personal growth. Our sessions will be guided by your unique experiences and needs. Taking the first step can be tough, but it’s the start of meaningful change. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions. You don’t have to do this alone—together, we will explore pathways to healing, growth, and clarity. Reach out and take that next step toward a more fulfilling life—I’d love to support you on your journey.

I help you to make the changes you want more easily and quickly. I have the expertise and experience to guide you through processes that really work!

I believe in you: your strengths, your intricate beauty, and your transformative potential. What I bring to the table are a fresh perspective, warmth, humour, and empirically-supported tools. My talk-based, collaborative approach integrates techniques from a number of modalities (commonly: mindfulness, cognitive behaviour therapy, narrative therapy, positive psych theory, neuroscience, bibliotherapy, psychoeducation, etc.) in the interest of effectively serving your unique goals and needs. I look forward to walking with you.

Having worked in many different fields of Psychotherapy, I’ve developed an appreciation for holistic approaches to well-being. It’s not easy to break free from the patterns and anxieties that have held you back. My goal is to help you get unstuck by gaining new insights, developing new coping skills, and to ultimately build resilience. I have trained in both CBT and Psychoanalysis. I work with clients dealing with a number of issues and my current areas of interest are short-term interventions, psychosomatics, and uncertainty. I approach psychotherapy from an integrative angle, applying multiple approaches to meet the needs of my clients. My sessions are often on the less structured side, making room to explore your thoughts and feelings as they unfold. I offer free initial phone consults to assess if we'd be a good fit together before beginning.

I love the science of emotions. As a clinical psychologist, my work centres on nourishing human resilience and beauty, individually and relationally. As an organizational consultant, I focus on the well-being of people, culture, and meaningful leadership. While the work of emotional and behavioural change is hard, personal transformation is powerful and yes, can even be fun! In my work, people cry and laugh with me. Together we will collaboratively, genuinely, and compassionately explore your life, your history, and where you need or want to go. Even when you believe otherwise, I am committed to supporting you to find the motivation and courage needed to explore your values, your potential, your strength, and your desire to change. As an organizational consultant in the workplace, I work with individuals, teams, and organizations in building healthy relationships at work and creating team dynamics that lead to optimal performance and experience. Using the latest research in behavioural science, neuroscience, and emotional intelligence, I create customized individual and team coaching programs. Regardless of what I’m brought on board to do, my goal is always to help you and your people do good, hard work and have fun doing it. I especially love hard people problems – the skills needed to solve ambiguous and complex human issues – the what, why and how of good, hard conversations and effective conflict resolution is my passion.

After the last few years of living through the ongoing pandemic and sociopolitical turmoil, its no wonder we are all feeling the effects on our relationships, family, work, school and mental health. We've been expected to continue living life as if everything is "normal" when so much has changed. You're not alone if you've been feeling anxious, exhausted, and burnt out as we carry collective grief and trauma on top of everything that you've personally been through. Looking for a new therapist can be a vulnerable and overwhelming process so I commend you for taking this step! I have close to a decade experience supporting clients through major life transitions, uncovering intergenerational trauma, treating mood disorders and PTSD, as well as processing grief and relationship issues. As a 1.5 gen Asian immigrant and having travelled to and lived in different countries, I can deeply understand the intersections of collectivist vs individualist cultures. I find that I work well with young adults and young professionals, and especially welcome fellow creatives, people in frontline/helping professions, and QTIPOCs in my practice.

I am Lisa M Kelly, (previously) a Registered Psychotherapist in downtown Toronto, providing online therapy in Ontario for relationships, relationship issues, dating, anxiety, relationship break-ups, life transitions, communication, self-esteem and loneliness. For over 12 years, I collaborated with individuals and couples to more deeply understand their experiences, concerns and needs. With the goal of catalyzing positive change, I helped them explore options for growth and communicate/relate more effectively. Across my career, I was fortunate to have been recognized annually on "Three-Best-Rated Marriage Counselling Toronto." I am grateful to have had the opportunity to engage in such meaningful work with so many special souls - to be emotionally present to my clients' vulnerability, "aha" moments and very inspirational growth.

I work with both individuals and couples that are seeking to restore balance, to connect and to bring meaning to their lives and their relationships in the face of life's questions and challenges. Within my practice I use a range of integrative techniques as understood through the lens of Psychodynamic Therapy and Mindfulness.

My work with clients is informed by my life experience as a musician, artist, immigrant and parent. My training in Gestalt therapy guides me as I work collaboratively with you to support and embrace the challenges of life transitions, relationships, work related stress, social anxiety, existential crisis or traumatic experiences. Therapy can be a place to explore the pressures of daily life and offer a sense of relief or highlight a new way forward. It can also be a journey of awareness and self discovery that can lead to a fuller more enriching life. Your search for a therapist is a crucial step toward healing. I will be happy to support you from my perspective which is positive, authentic and constructive. Contact me for a free consultation to find out if we'll be a good fit.
