“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!

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.

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.

Trust, safety and compassion is at the core of my practice because I recognize how hard it is to share or try something new. Together, we'll create a non-judgemental space so you can feel safe sharing your hopes, joys, fears and sorrows (and everything in-between). As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize the importance of supporting where you're at right now, not where you should be. With a focus on the present moment, we explore a new way of trusting your feelings and validating your experiences that may bring you relief along with greater self-acceptance. I believe you know yourself best and I honour that by being an active facilitator in supporting you through your process of healing. I may offer creative techniques such as expressive arts or body-oriented exercises as a way to explore emotions and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Contact me and let's talk about how therapy might work for you.

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.

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.

My passion to become a therapist grew from early experiences tutoring and mentoring underprivileged children and youth. I have spent years helping parents and children find ways to achieve success and meet their goals. I am proud to have my own practice to offer therapy to individuals, children, youth, couples, and families. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I earned my Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, Bachelor of Arts degree in Child and Youth Care from Ryerson University, and Honours Advanced Diploma in Child and Youth Care from George Brown College. In addition to psychotherapy, I work as a research assistant and TA at Ryerson University in the Child and Youth Care department. I have co-authored two peer-reviewed articles published in Child & Youth Services and the International Journal of Child, Youth & Family Studies as well as a professional article published in CYC-Online.

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.

We're a great fit if you're ready to identify unhealthy cycles, gain insight into your emotions and thought processes, and develop practical strategies. With over 15 years of experience and a deep passion for my work, I specialize in assisting adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and ADHD. I have my own lived experiences with mental health and ADHD, which have led me to support others on their journey. Other areas of focus include self-esteem, motivation, procrastination, Social Anxiety, OCD, BPD, PTSD, attachment issues, conflict resolution, setting boundaries, and life transitions. My approach is nonjudgmental, structured and relaxed. I always support you with kindness and empathy and encourage you to challenge unhelpful thinking and behaviours. I offer expertise in therapeutic interventions such as CBT, DBT, Trauma-informed therapy, Exposure therapy, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive processing therapy, and Attachment therapy. I understand how overwhelming choosing a therapist can be and the importance of finding the right fit. That's why I offer free phone consultations, which can be easily booked through my website. Let's take the first step towards your well-being together.

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.

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).

I am an empathetic Psychodynamic Psychotherapist specializing in a number of modalities that include Attachment Therapy, CBT and Mindful Self-compassion to support my clients in a number of areas such as relationships, parenting, attachment, and anxiety. I have been in private practice since 2017. However I have been in the mental health profession for over 20 years now. I have a Masters in Developmental Psychology from OISE and a Psychotherapy degree from a CRPO recognized Program at the Ontario Psychotherapy and Counselling Program (OPC). I am greatly influenced by the pioneers of psychotherapy: Carl Rogers, Donald Winnicott, John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. I have also integrated the work of contemporary therapists into my practice: Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff, Harville Hendrix, Annette Kussin, Esther Perel, and Irvin Yalom. ​ I look forward to learning all about you and building a beautiful therapeutic alliance story as we work together.

Welcome! I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy within my private practice, offering services to young adults, adults, couples, and groups. My areas of expertise include relational challenges, anger, shame/guilt, addictions, & trauma recovery.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and an Assistant Professor (Teaching Stream) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough. I received my PhD in Psychology from the University of Toronto in 2014 after completing a post-graduate fellowship at Yale University, a masters degree from University College London, and a honours B.A from Concordia University. I have previously worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at New York University, and have taught at the Rotman School of Management. As a therapist, I use cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic methods to provide tailored treatment for couples and for adults afflicted with a variety of psychological conditions including anxiety disorders, depression, and personality disorders, as well as difficult issues such as relationship issues, life transitions, job difficulties, shyness, and low self-esteem. I am also a certified executive coach who strives to help individuals to be better able to achieve their goals in professional as well as personal domains. I have conducted academic research that explores how expectations and beliefs affect perception and memory. My research findings suggest that people have a propensity to see and to remember information that fits with their beliefs and expectations, regardless of what is actually in front of them. My research suggests the enormous potential of psychological interventions. To the extent that psychological interventions can change your beliefs and your expectations, they can – quite literally — change what you see and how you understand the world. I am a registered member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario, the Canadian Psychological Association, and the Ontario Psychological Association.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable to discuss your difficulties with a therapist. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, a new experience, or seeking meaningful change, I would be happy to help. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a warm and supportive atmosphere so that we can explore new insights in an open and non-judgmental space. Regardless of your reasons for coming to therapy, it is important for me that we work together to determine your goals and priorities. I offer evidence-based therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I am a trained individual, couples, and family psychotherapist with experience delivering evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and I use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my practice. I use trauma-informed practice in my work and Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy. If you are looking for an inclusive and connection-driven space for sustainable change, I would love to work with you. My goal is to help you feel heard and understood, to provide a space for growth, and to work at a pace that fits for you. Please feel free to contact me by text, email, or phone to set up an initial consultation or to book an appointment.

I am an integrative somatic therapist with a specialization in the treatment of complex and severe interpersonal trauma. I work extensively with adults who have experienced acute and developmental trauma as young children, including childhood sexual abuse. My practice has a special focus on work with people who use chronic dissociation as a primary means of coping with traumatic experience.

**** Accepting new clients **** "Therapy really works!” This is my experience with therapy as well as many other people’s therapy experience with me. I believe that you can have a similar experience - an experience that you will feel understood and empowered. Part of the reasons that makes therapy work is because as a therapist, I am non-judgmental, emphatic, compassionate, and genuine. I am also trained in many different psychotherapy modalities that I will tailor our therapy sessions to your unique needs. I can use practical approaches as well as insight oriented approaches. Some of the specialized trainings include: EMDR for trauma, Strength-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-focused Therapy, Trauma-informed Practice, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy. In addition, I work through a trauma informed lens and from an anti-oppression framework. I have experience supporting people from all walks of life. Concerns that I have supported people through include: trauma (sexual, childhood, bullying, etc), stress, family conflict, adjustment, identity issues (sexual orientation, gender, race, etc), self-esteem, body image, anger, grief, and many mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression.
