As a former physician, I have often been captivated by the complexities of human behaviour and the underlying mechanisms driving our actions and emotions. While I found medicine to be immensely rewarding, it was the psychological aspects of patient care that truly resonated with me. I became increasingly fascinated by the intricate connections between mind and body, and I recognized how addressing mental health issues could greatly enhance overall well-being. This realization led me to pursue a new direction: exploring the profound impact of mental health on our lives and supporting those struggling within this area.

I believe that everyone is on a unique journey, following their own path, which makes us all special. As we navigate this journey, we bring our individual strengths, abilities, and skills to heal, grow, and foster meaningful connections. Two people can share the same experience yet perceive it differently, influenced by a variety of personal factors. I view each person as a whole, considering their emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual dimensions, rather than focusing on just one aspect. This holistic perspective is what I call a humanistic approach to therapy.

When we are being heard, listened to and understood it becomes easier to reconnect with what is important. Often our next steps become clearer. We can see what keeps us stuck, untangle the values that guide our choices and move towards healing and growth. I am offering virtual individual psychotherapy to adults across Ontario. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, strength-based and resilience oriented.

Whether we identify as male, female, transgendered, non-binary, mother, father, or other, I know one thing for sure; we are humans playing a part in this game of life. We all practice being human, unconsciously and/or consciously. We all experience life's most difficult trials and troubles and yes, we also experience joy. This is immutable. Given this reality, how can we live our life optimally, rich with purpose and fulfillment while balancing the curve balls, the numbness, the stress, the cravings, or the hurt? The truth is, you can do it. We can do it together. Sometimes all you need is a patient helping hand.

My practice offers counselling to young people, adults and specialized separation/parenting services for families. Challenges experienced by clients may include: navigating family change, stress, anxiety, peer/romantic relationships, self-regulation, and managing behaviours (ADHD, OCD, ODD). As a Collaborative Family Professional, I work with parents wanting to minimize conflict for their family as they go through transition and change. I provide emotional support throughout the out-of-court process, help caregivers build skills to co-parent, and neutrally facilitate meetings during the collaborative process.

My goal is to support and guide you back to wellness no matter the trials and tribulations that life presents. I have a keen interest in supporting anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. Above all, I take pride in building genuine therapeutic relationships with my clients while helping them become the best versions of themselves. Having started my own therapeutic journey as a client myself, I can more deeply appreciate the importance of this client-therapist relationship. The therapeutic journey is not always easy, but I believe that we are stronger together.

I believe everyone already holds the keys to their own healing; my role is to help you find and use those keys. Using a trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower and guide you toward becoming your own source of support and insight. Starting therapy takes courage, and I understand the hesitation some might feel about opening up, especially to a male therapist – it's a step that requires a lot of trust. However, I want to assure you that my practice is a place of warmth and non-judgment. Having faced my own mental health struggles, I connect deeply with those on a similar journey and I provide a calm, grounded presence in session.

Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your relationships, work, or school? Do you feel exhausted, unmotivated, and overwhelmed by everything you need to do, and don't feel good enough? Do you wonder if you'll ever feel like you used to? We often put our needs last, justifying this by telling ourselves we have too much to accomplish first. Not addressing your depression, anxiety, or past trauma can lead to isolation, ruin your self-esteem, and make day-to-day life harder than it needs to be. However, there are ways to navigate these personal burdens and make life hopeful again, and you don't have to do it alone.

It can be an act of courage and strength to seek help. Whether you have been thinking about this for a long time, face new struggles, or both, you deserve to take this step. I am an experienced clinical, health, rehabilitation psychologist who helps adults experiencing a broad range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions. I am also experienced with clients facing acute or chronic medical illness, and those who work, learn or perform in high demand settings (e.g. physicians and other clinicians, athletes, artists, students) through my previous work in hospitals (UHN, HHS) and universities (U of T).

I work with clients who are finding their true identity and ready to release any aspect of themselves and their story that no longer serve them. This includes clients that have unresolved experiences from their recent or distant past that would like professional guidance in processing such from a trauma-informed and empathic lens. Clients that are ready for change and able to dedicate their energy to their own healing, in and out of session, with my support. Clients that may feel stuck, low-mood, unmotivated or confused in how to progress in life but are feeling called to evolve into a fulfilled & grateful version of themselves.

Centre Bethany Centre is a place that provides counselling services that will contribute to the physical, spiritual, emotional and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Our approach is centred around healing in an African cultural context, that is to say, healing is the remedy that is required when something goes wrong with the functioning of the mind, body, psyche, environment and spirit. This malfunction often results in one feeling anxious; abandoned; physically, psychologically and spiritually traumatized; a sense of loss of self.

Imposter Syndrome. Self-doubt creeps in, making it hard to trust your skills. Maybe you avoid taking risks or voicing your ideas because you are afraid others will see through you. Self-doubt lingers in the background, making you question your abilities, even when you succeed. You avoid confrontation, fearing you’ll be judged or disliked, and overextend yourself, hoping someone will notice your efforts. Performance targets feel overwhelming, and the fear of failure keeps you from taking the risks that could move you forward. You feel stuck, unsure why your career has stalled, and wonder if you’re the only one feeling this way.
