Existential Therapists in Brampton, ON

I consider it a privilege to work with my clients to feel better amid life's many challenges. Whether it's through modifying habitual negative thinking, developing greater self-awareness or moving past unhelpful patterns in relationships, I help my clients make positive changes in their lives. In therapy, we begin with a thorough exploration of your background and concerns, then collaborate to set concrete therapeutic goals to improve mental health and well-being, manage symptoms, and create meaning in life. My training includes degrees from Yale University and University of Toronto, and I've been in private practice for ten years.

My work with clients is informed by my life experience as a musician, small business owner, immigrant and parent.

It is my honor to sit in the passengers' seat while you control the steering wheel of your life. Despite all the chaos you may have been through, I firmly believe that you are the expert on you. With all that happens, sometimes we lose ourselves and live a life incongruent with our values. Naturally, we start to feel depressed, anxious, angry etc. I assist and empower your true essence in order for you to make life affirming decisions that align with your values, and ultimately live a wholehearted life. We surpass focusing on the issue that brought you in to therapy, to making and reaching life goals.

For many of us, it’s easy to allow our mental health to take a backseat in our everyday lives. We may rely on distractions but we know that it’s time to look for support that will lead us into maintaining a healthier relationship with our mental health. I work with adults and children 9 and up who are seeking treatment in family conflict, anger management, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, self-esteem, school-related issues and women’s issues. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my hope is to support clients who are looking to address these matters in a safe and stigma-free zone.

Navigating the complexities of identity crisis, childhood trauma, interpersonal challenges, relationship with parents, low self-confidence, and self-esteem requires courage. These complexities might be affecting your interpersonal relationships as well, leaving you feeling disconnected or struggling to communicate effectively with your partner. Feeling unseen and unheard can be isolating; making it hard to ask for help as you might feel not good enough. However, together, we can navigate life's challenges with compassion, discover healing, and find resiliency in your journey toward growth and connection.

When you are so focused on simply getting through each day, it can be easy to begin to lose yourself, forgetting who you are, and what you want. Therapy can be a doorway to healing from past trauma and discovering yourself anew. You can learn to find peace and balance in your life, and cultivate a deeper understanding of what care you need, and how much support you can give to others. I offer therapy for people struggling with trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief and loss, post-partum mental health concerns, ADHD, Autism, and newcomers to Canada who want to talk about this big life change.

Focussing on grief and loss, our practice works with those who have suffered difficult and sudden losses and are struggling.

After studying clinical psychology in Europe, I worked for more than two decades in a city hospital. I primarily treated adults struggling with a range of issues, including anxiety and phobias, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexual dysfunctions, and relational issues. My work aimed to help these individuals overcome their problems, improve their quality of life, and foster their personal growth. In addition to my clinical experience, I've had the unique opportunity to offer psychotherapeutic services in war-affected regions, working closely with refugees and soldiers suffering from PTSD and war-related issues.

My passion is helping anyone struggling with addictions or substance use, and other emotional issues. Going through depression, experiencing anxiety, or dealing with loss can feel so overwhelming. Sometimes it feels like no one can help because they won't fully understand our issues. Talking to a professional can be the first step in healing.

Collectively, we have just experienced some of the most challenging times of our lives, and continuing. My framework is holistic in nature and offered virtually at this time. My focus has shifted to include techniques such as Emotional Freedom Tapping, body awareness modalities, breathing techniques, talk therapy, visualization, and other creative coping tools that can be self applied outside of session safely.
