As a psychotherapist I have more than 15 years of experience in working with individuals and couples focusing on adults and youth.
I work from an anti-oppressive, trauma informed, client centered perspective. In other words I respect the perspectives, goals and needs of my clients who are seeking support to understand themselves and others. As a therapist I become your ally in search of your truth and understanding of yourself, the world and others around you. I believe that working with a therapist can be helpful in sorting out your feeling and thoughts to face your challenges in life and become the best version of yourself. I aim to offer a non-judgmental and open conversation so you can find the way to build awareness and making changes in your life.

I am a Clinical Psychologist working with adults and couples.
People require help with various issues at some point of their lifes. It could be difficulty making a decision, relationship problems, dissatisfaction with career, financial warries, losses, illness, or injury. Regardless of the magnitude of the problem it is often beneficial to discuss your problem with a professional who may help you to see the issue from a different perspective and to arrive to a satisfactory solution. Some problems require numerous sessions, but sometimes even one or few sessions result in improved mood and self-confidence and help to gain insights that could lead to desired changes.

Life is ever changing, bringing unanticipated circumstances which may leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and stressed.

I may be new to Ontario, but I have years of experience working with "straight" and LGBTQ+ adults, youth, and children from around the world.
You're in a lot of pain. It might be a sharp, edgy, "I think there must be something really wrong here" type of distress, or a dull, achy, "Life has got to be better than this" kind of despair. You can point to things around you that aren't as they should be, or you have experienced enough trauma to fill a book, but just knowing this hasn't gotten you or your loved one any peace, let alone joy. It's as if there's something hidden, something below the surface, something you can't quite identify, that's holding onto the pain really that's in the way of feeling fully alive.

I have 5+ years of experience working with ADHD & Autism in children, teenagers, adults, seniors, families and couples.
As a neurodivergent person with ADHD myself, I know some of the difficulties you may face. If you have ADHD and/or are Autistic, you’ve probably spent many years trying to fight your own brain and force yourself to act “normal,” but find this never works in the long run. Or perhaps you have someone in your life who is neurodivergent, and are struggling meet their needs and your own. You may experience painful emotions, difficulty understanding yourself, and frustrating personal relationships. Navigating life can be overwhelming when you're neurodivergent, but I firmly believe there is hope, and I want you to feel hopeful too.
