Couples Counselling Therapists in Summerhill, Toronto, ON

Everyone experiences life differently, but we can make sense of it together. I provide a space in which you can talk through the challenges of life in the context of an empathic, caring and safe relationship. I approach my work as a therapist with relational and empathic listening, nonjudgmental exploration, interactive engagement, respectful challenge, and mutual participation in the therapeutic process. My work is informed by a holistic approach to respect the relational, interconnected nature of human experience. Together we will explore the emotional, cognitive, physical, sociocultural & spiritual factors that impact your life.

If you are looking for a Psychotherapist, chances are you are going through a rough patch or time of change in your life. Marriage or familial issues. Anxiety or depression. Stress, grief and loss. Substance abuse. Life transition or even career issues. These are the types of growing edges that often lead people to seek support. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy and that the client is the expert on their own life. As a working professional for over a decade, I have worked with families, couples and individuals. I would be honoured to help you reach your goals!

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and a humanistic mental health counsellor. Do you feel like things aren't the way you thought they would be? Are you feeling stuck or misunderstood? I offer talking therapy towards helping you shape your perspective into a healthy and productive one. Whether it's your career, your relationships, or anything else that's important to you. I practice under a multicultural and multilingual perspective respecting the individual experience of otherness.

I see clients with a range of issues including attachment, family conflict, disconnect, trauma, anxiety, addiction and depression. I believe that everyone has a distinct way of expressing their past experiences and challenges in their daily lives, and that it is my job to help people to examine and understand themselves, and to find new ways of being. My approach is open and supportive, and I bring creativity, compassion and a sense of wonder to our work together.

I know that making a decision to start therapy isn't easy. It can be anxiety-inducing, whether you are new to the process or experienced. I understand that and will work with you at your own pace. It is also important that you feel a sense of connection with your therapist, and that you feel seen, understood, and valued. As we work together, we will build a safe therapeutic relationship for you to explore your patterns in relationship with others, and with yourself. I will listen with curiosity and compassion to your stories- the ones that are causing discomfort or pain in your life and the ones that bring you happiness.

Seeking therapy is a radical act of self love. It takes courage to reach out when in pain or transition. Wanting support is a sign of the impulse to thrive. I hold space for you to heal your attachment and other wounds. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and have a Masters of Psychology, with a private practice in downtown Toronto. My special interests include transitions across the life span, attachment and trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, Post Traumatic Stress, newcomer and multi cultural issues, intersecting with LGBTQ issues, women's mental health, transitioning genders, and newcomer issues.

If you are struggling with a particular issue, feeling lost in a relationship; intimate or professional, worrying and lacking the motivation to put ideas/thoughts into action, or just generally feeling stuck, I'm glad you are here. Life is complex and doesn't come with clear and definitive guidelines. No wonder we can feel overwhelmed! Sometimes it can just feel like it too much to manage alone. Working in a therapeutic relationship where you are the focus can help you find ways to learn, grow, and heal.

Welcome! You may be here because you are feeling rejected, unimportant and hurt: experiencing your special other as emotionally unavailable. Maybe you feel like you're unworthy, criticized, and unimportant: like you will never be good enough. I collaborate with you to better understand your emotional responses and needs. Leading you to relationship repair, improved intimacy and emotional connection. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want relief from the negative relational cycles that hinder their joy. I am also deeply committed to those impacted by Fertility & Maternal Mental Health.

Do you have a difficult time looking at yourself with compassion and acceptance because the way you react, behave, and feel is wrong? Maybe it’s reacting with anger and defensiveness, or isolation and shutting down. Maybe it’s feeling like you are not smart enough. attractive enough, or simply not enough. Either way, you are left feeling ashamed of who you are. Imagine a life where you did not feel this way. You did not feel controlled by your emotions, you found joy in the ups and downs, and now look at yourself in a positive light. Beginning therapy is nerve-wracking, but I hope you take a moment (and a deep breath) to reach out.

Are you seeking relief, clarity and well-being? Realigning your inner strengths and creating the balance you desire and deserve in your life is achievable! Stressful relationships (personal, family, work), loss, depression, anxiety, anger and conflict are some things I can assist you with. I can help you with being focused and grounded and, ultimately, more present. Being present, with yourself and others, is the only place from which you can make effective, conscious, lasting choices and changes. During 24 years in private practice I've had the privilege of working with many people of different ages, personalities and backgrounds.
