I am a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in helping individuals feel more secure. Whether that is within your relationships, or within yourself, you deserve to feel confident, valued, and worthwhile. I assist clients who struggle with self-doubt, feel insecure, self-critical, or inadequate. Together, we will transform how you connect to yourself and others. We will work towards greater self-understanding, develop emotional awareness and self-compassion, and develop coping skills so that you can feel more at ease in your life and relationships. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and have advanced training in a number of evidence-based approaches (Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). My therapeutic style is warm and empathic, and we will work in a safe and respectful way to explore your inner experience as well as take steady steps towards meaningful change. My practice also focuses on supporting racialized individuals. I welcome working with those who would like to explore how race, culture, and family dynamics have influenced their identities and the way they relate to themselves and others.

Something's wrong; things may look fine on the surface, but a part of you is screaming for help. Maybe you know exactly what you want to address - issues at work, friction in relationships, or thoughts you want to stop, but can’t. Or maybe you've always felt this way, and don't know why. Maybe you've done all the "right" things: you've read the self-help books, tried CBT therapy, did meditation retreats, drank Ayahuasca in South America, and went to meetings or support groups. Maybe it all helped, but you can't shake the feeling that something's deeply wrong, something you can't explain, something that's hard to put into words. You just want to feel better. You want that feeling of hope back, that sense in your heart that everything's going to be OK. You want to stop looking for it externally - through a drink or a pill, a person, or a social media post. You want to stop feeling like you're defective. You want to feel whole again. I can help you. I know from experience that finding a therapist who makes you feel safe and knows how to address your specific issues can be challenging. I'd like to make that process easier with a free 15-minute conversation/consultation by video or phone. Please reach out and we'll explore the possibility of working together.

Clear. Direct. Focused. I offer deep listening and presence, through this we discover together what you need and the best way to proceed.

In the busy, hectic and somewhat nonsensical world of today, you can feel lost, confused, or stuck. I want to be there with you as you navigate these frustrating times. My clients are determined to work on the unanswered questions that life has thrown their way. Maybe you feel stuck in relationships – at work or in your personal life. Maybe society has made it incredibly unbearable for you to be you. Or perhaps you are going through a specific challenge that is making you feel helpless. It is in our nature to want to improve, to heal and move forward and upward. We are wired to survive. As Rumi says, what you are seeking, you already are. And you already have all the survival tools that you require to reshape your life the way you want it to be. In our work together, we will identify your goals in your life and in your relationships and work towards achieving them. We will tap into your strengths and together we will look for options that fit best for you. Change is hard. You don’t have to do it alone. Working with a caring, supportive, and compassionate therapist can help you to examine problems from a new light, identify solutions, and make the changes that are right for you. In our work together, I will get to know who you are, how you got here, and where you would like to go. My job is to be with you and to share the knowledge, experiences, tools and resources that can help you get there. I offer approaches such as narrative therapy, schema therapy, psychodynamic, CBT, and other modalities. As we work together, we will create a treatment plan tailor made for you. As a new Canadian and a Middle-Eastern woman of colour with experience living under an oppressive radical theocracy, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in having empathy towards those who find themselves stuck. We don’t all get to enjoy the privileges of race, wealth, health, or peace. Despite that, therapy can help us look at the narrative of our lives with compassion and empathy for ourselves. I am excited and passionate about helping you to reshape your story and find more peace.

**TAKING NEW CLIENTS** Are you feeling a sense of disconnection, to yourself, your purpose, or simply the world around you? Do you find yourself struggling to understand why you can’t “catch a break”? Through a progressive and integrative approach, we will give ourselves permission to open up and truly begin to understand what gives you meaning in life. The goal with this approach is to slow down together, and to walk along the path with, rather than having a therapist simply guiding you. By the end of our sessions, you will recognize your own strengths as building blocks, and your obstacles as learning opportunities. We will do this by practicing compassion and empathy towards all versions of the self. After all, your perception of the world is a reflection of how you see yourself, so let’s work from the inside out.

Are you tired of suffering in silence? As a man, you may feel uncomfortable thinking or talking about your feelings. From challenges in your relationships and your career to feelings of self-doubt, you may find yourself feeling disconnected from how you want to show up in your life. Life’s stressors can have you acting in ways that you don’t feel good about at the end of the day. By talking it out, you can find calm in the chaos, and develop new ways of coping. As a male therapist who understands how men have been conditioned to suppress their feelings, I invite you to explore those emotions in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Together we can help you develop the tools for managing and coping with doubts, fears, and overwhelm. By learning to reframe your story and by identifying your core values and beliefs, you can begin to rebuild your life- supported by a self-affirming foundation. No matter what you’re going through, you deserve better. You no longer have to ‘man up’ and hide your feelings. If you’re looking into therapy, you’ve already taken a courageous first step. I’m here to support you in taking the next steps towards the life you deserve. Visit my website to contact me or book a consultation.

Welcome, I am happy to see that you are choosing you today :) Self care brought you here.

Have you encountered life transitions, self-esteem issues, symptoms of anxiety and depression, or are questions coming up about your past experiences and their impact on your daily life? If so, I would be happy to work together in a safe space, to find some answers. While therapy can be part of a holistic approach to wellness, it is also individualistic, and I believe that each client deserves support that will best suit their needs. Everyone has a unique story. Through empowering clients, I listen to their story, and help them develop healthier coping strategies and points of view. My years of teaching experience has reinforced my belief that everyone deserves to be heard and understood. Having made a career change myself, I am familiar with the feelings of uncertainty that come when we face life transitions and am passionate about supporting others through these changes.

As a therapist, I am a firm believer in authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. While I love to listen and validate my clients' feelings, I also might occasionally question a thought when necessary. The honest and frank conversations I get to have with my clients are what allow them to challenge their thoughts and assumptions - this is where the real work happens!​ I understand that seeking therapy can be an overwhelming experience, and I want to emphasize that at its core, therapy is a conversation. When meeting with me, you’ll find that sessions will be a friendly and relaxed discussion during which you can feel safe to explore whatever concerns are on your mind while also learning new skills.​

I know that there is sometimes a hesitation to seek help due to shame, uncertainty or sometimes procrastination. For some people they have been waiting their whole lives to take the first step to speak with a therapist and open up about their problems. I'm here to make the experience as natural and comfortable as possible. Don't hesitate to reach out!

As a Founder & Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Echo & Insight Psychotherapy, I believe that our past experiences often echo into our present, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

I provide a safe and compassionate space where we can explore these patterns, identify their roots, and work towards meaningful change. If you're ready to gain insight and embrace transformation, I am here to support you on that journey. Let’s work together to turn those echoes into wisdom and growth.

My name is Sienna, and I’m SO glad you’re here. Struggling with negative thoughts, emotional overwhelm, or the lasting effects of a toxic relationship? You're not alone. My approach combines a passion for mental health with specialized expertise in ADHD, emotional regulation, anxiety, and trauma recovery, helping you find peace and reclaim your life.

The road to becoming a psychotherapist started with my own soul journey. As everyone who enters into therapy, my first experience of therapy was driven to find relief for suffering and emotional chaos. At midlife, my life felt empty and meaningless, and I needed to discover the parts of myself where there were life, joy and energy. The road took a different path as I went deeper and deeper into myself. This eventually took me to C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. I found meaning, purpose and fulfilment in exploring Jung’s ideas and experiences. Since then, I have devoted myself to my individuation journey and that of my clients. Training to be a Jungian Analyst was an amazing, exhaustive and intense experience. It was a special and unique kind of training that consisted of extensive post-graduate academic studies, and a rigorous and lengthy personal analysis. I cultivated a depth, compassion for suffering, and an authentic awareness for what is true. Upon completion, I was awarded a Diploma of Analytical Psychology – a PhD equivalent – and which gave me the designation of Jungian Analyst. I am devoted to my personal individuation journey and I bring that same devotion to working with my clients. I am passionate about working with people who feel that they are on a quest for something. I call it an ineffable mysterious something. They know that there is something more than the symptoms. They feel called to explore the deeper questions of human existence. My practice is conveniently located in Roncesvalles Village, in the west end of Toronto. I offer a range of psychotherapeutic and counselling services to meet most people’s needs. In addition to my Jungian training, I studied astrology at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London, England, and with Liz Greene through the Astrodeinst seminars in Zürich. I am a member of the Canadian Association for Sandplay Therapy and am actively completed my certification in this modality.

Are you struggling with self-esteem issues? Are you having difficulties with transitions between major life events (i.e., graduating, moving, or taking the next step in a relationship)? Are you having trouble in your relationships? Having a hard time finding balance in life? Have you recently experienced, or are currently experiencing some kind of traumatic life event? Do you worry about looking like a failure to your colleagues and disappointing your loved ones? Let's book an appointment today. My passion is to help you through any issues you are experiencing. I work with my clients to build confidence and to develop healthy coping mechanisms as they are navigating various life challenges. My clients say that I know how to ask curious questions leading to profound realizations and meaningful change in their lives. I am nonjudgmental, accepting and understanding.

Struggling to balance personal and professional aspirations, demands and challenges? Let's work together to clarify what's most important to you, then design your life and career to support it. Hitting the same roadblocks in life, relationships, career or business is frustrating. It's difficult to see that despite your best efforts to move forward, you're constantly back where you started. While coaching can offer a goal-oriented approach to getting what you want in life, sometimes it's not enough. If you find yourself circling back over the same issues, repeating the same relationships, encountering the same professional problems, a set of smart goals and a well-organized to-do list aren't likely to do the trick. Seeking therapy doesn't mean you are broken. Therapy makes room for your entire self to come into focus, not just your professional self. It eases the pressure to perform and allows you to slow down and become aware of yourself in new ways. I'll meet you where you're at, sometimes looking forward, sometimes looking back, and always helping you to develop solid roots anchored firmly in the present.

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance. With over 20 years of social work experience, I’m a strong believer in the profound transformative power of therapeutic conversation rooted in a safe and validating relationship. I’m a regular guy, a father, a partner and an active member of my community, who brings that same candor and authenticity to my work with people.
