Waitlist for new clients

I work with individual adults on a variety of issues including anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, substance use, and shame.
No waitlist, accepting new clients virtually in Ontario and in person in Milton and Etobicoke. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, desire discrepancy, and life transitions. My passion lies in working with BIPOC individuals facing cultural dissonance and intergenerational trauma. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and gain insight into themselves and their lives.

What would life feel like if you felt worthy, joyful, healthy, and your emotional needs were met. Therapy is a gift to yourself to feel good again and manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and PTSD that keeps you feeling stuck and less than. People often make wrong conclusions about their worth based on the level of emotional attunement and care they received growing up or the trauma they experienced. In the empowering relationship we form, I create a safe to talk and compassionately work alongside you to help, work through your pain & improve the relationship with yourself by discovering meaning, mindfulness and hope.

As we journey through life, sometimes the way is easy and other times it is not. Therapy may help us explore whatever we have encountered along the path. I work with individuals 18 and older who would like to explore the paths previously travelled, while developing strategies for balance and wellness on the journey forward. My goal is to walk with you for a time, to co-create a space to reflect, learn and grow, guided by the inherent wisdom you carry within you.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, painting, singing, musical theatre, walking in nature, and spending time with my curious and creative 8-year-old.

I help folks connect more compassionately with themselves, with others, and with a larger sense of meaning in life. You might be struggling with high anxiety that won’t let you rest, or depression that’s keeping you “stuck”. You might be experiencing a difficult life transition, and unsure how to move forward. You might be unhappy with your substance use, or feeling like unresolved trauma is keeping you on a emotional roller-coaster. I also work extensively with members of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities and their families. Whatever is happening in your life, we can work on it together.

I understand how difficult it can be searching for the right therapist. It's important to find the right fit because the therapeutic relationship is such an important part of counselling. For me, creating a non-judgmental space where you can express yourself openly and work towards personal growth is a priority. Through my client-centred approach, I recognize the importance of tapping into your strengths and building upon them. Counselling provides us the opportunity to explore meaning, strengths and new possibilities, and my role is to help facilitate this process.

We can sometimes feel alone in our struggles. We may be asking if we are the problem in these situations as our needs are consistently not being met in our life circumstances. In session with me, I take on a holistic approach to your life. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to openly discuss what you are going through and the goals/dreams that you wish to move closer to attaining. I often consider myself like a coach on a team. I will always be in your corner cheering you on, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to help push you towards the goals that you set for yourself.
