Parenting Therapists in Central Toronto, Toronto, ON

Whether you are coming with clear practical goals or for more open-ended exploration, my compassionate therapeutic approach will help you create more stability and move you out of habitual patterns of restrictions and avoidance, towards a meaningful and valued direction. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 20 years in both private practice and mental health settings. I have experience with a range of issues including, childhood trauma, violence, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting and relationship issues.

Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist is one of the most important investments you can make for your wellbeing. My clients benefit from my 23 years of experience in the field, and from my own experience of the transformative power of therapy. My approach is relational, attachment, emotion focused. In working with some clients, I also incorporate mindfulness and the expressive arts. I am a certified Emotionally-Focused couples Therapist (EFT); and am trained in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) for working with individuals.

Everybody from an early age develops a 'story'. The story becomes an accumulation of everything that we experience. Made up of thoughts, emotions and feelings. All stories are similar, how we learn to live with our experiences makes our story unique. We learn to identify, believing that we are our story, creating situations and patterns in our lives that often become problematic. Psychotherapy is extremely beneficial if you are experiencing low self esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, loneliness, anger, forgiveness, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and family struggles.

When problems take over our lives and relationships, a wide range of concerns may be present. We seek understanding, solution and relief from the grip that the problems have on us - problems. I provide counselling services to address your relational, emotional and behavioural issues from depression, anxiety, anger, and grief to parenting, relationships with children, spouses, pre-marital, common-laws, blended families, and beyond. Our collaborative conversations will support you in gaining new understanding, exploring alternative solutions, and get relief from the grip of problems.
