I have worked in the field of mental health for 30 years. This includes more than 20 years of experience working with individuals in a private psychotherapy practice. Said simply, I believe the intention of psychotherapy is to help people feel better and feel better equipped to live well. These objectives are determined by each person, as they consider their own context, influences, hopes and goals. I try to approach each person and each psychotherapy with intellect, curiosity, creativity and respect.

Trauma can profoundly alter how we view ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel guilty, ashamed or overwhelmed thinking of your past experiences. It’s common to find it hard to trust others and to feel anxious about the safety of the world around you. You may be grappling with your identity, feeling disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by emotions. Despite the challenges you encounter, my goal is to ensure you feel not only supported but truly understood, acknowledged, and empowered.

Most of us at some point in our lives need someone to talk to and someone to listen to us, someone that can provide us with a safe place to just be; a sanctuary that allows us to be with our feelings, to get in touch with our needs and our hearts. Whether it is relationship difficulties, job loss, illness, death of a loved one, addiction or mental health concerns that have brought you to my website; all these life transitions can tax our ability to cope in healthy ways leaving us stressed, sleepless and overwhelmed while the rest of our lives seemingly unravel.

Hello! I am a queer, neurodivergent, Black, jewish, social worker. I believe that the challenges and trauma we experience are tied to systems of oppression and colonialism. Therapy can be one part of building and deepening our relationships with ourselves, intimate relationships, community, and our lineages. My goal is to provide virtual counselling that is compassionate, non-pathologizing, and collaborative.

I believe that most human struggles can be connected to the quest for meaningful intimacy and love. Sometimes, this shows up in mood issues, anxiety, conflict or addictions. At other times, historical trauma may overshadow your ability to feel comfort and happiness. Whether your goal is to improve your relationship with yourself to achieve more positive self-regard or to focus on your connection to others, we can work together to understand and create the pathway forward.

I want to acknowledge you in taking the important step to reach out for support. My aim is to provide compassion and presence for you to feel emotionally safe enough to move through growth and change. It can be difficult opening up to someone new. I am experienced in helping my clients process and make sense of their experiences, and offer experiential tools and practices to help them restore calm and regulation. Each and every one of us is unique and there isn’t one approach that fits everyone equally. I therefore work integratively, utilizing aspects of Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and CBT.

My treatment approach focuses on two areas to help you with your current difficulties. The first is a focus on identifying what I call your "backstory"- meaning the experiences you have had with people throughout your life. We all learn certain patterns of how to be with other people, and how to regard ourselves, from our "backstory." Sometimes these patterns interfere with our ability to lead mentally healthy and fulfilling lives.

Maybe you & your partner are struggling; stuck in old patterns with poor communication, feeling disconnected & wanting more intimacy. Maybe you're dealing with infidelity or another kind of betrayal. Maybe you're having difficulty relating to family members or friends - unresolved tension with parents, conflict with your kids, or feeling like you can't be your self around others. Perhaps you're feeling stressed out, anxious, lonely, and you want to stop being so hard on yourself.

I am a registered clinical psychologist. I provide individual therapy and psychodiagnostic assessments to adults. My practice is geared towards people navigating challenges related to trauma, depression, anxiety, emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties, self-esteem and identity concerns, grief, life transitions, and a desire for personal growth. My clients seek help because old coping strategies are no longer serving them, or because patterns from past relationships are causing problems in the present. Many are feeling limited by longstanding beliefs, stuck in painful emotions, or overwhelmed with difficult circumstances.
