Accepting New Clients - I guide adults to connect with the evidence and knowledge gained from their experiences to transform their relationships with themselves and others. Come to my practice if you want to experience the three MMLC guiding principles that will restructure your thinking patterns by guiding you into accessing the knowledge you hold (you being the expert in your experiences), joining it to your present day self with everything you have learned (subconscious into the conscious), and guiding you into creating a new knowledge base rooted in authenticity, empowerment, and valuable connections (neuro-pysch)

I am a true believer in the human capacity to adapt, grow, and in the fact that it is possible to find genuine joy and happiness. I also know that that life is rife with adversity and that walking alone through challenge can push us to what feels like our limits. It is often in these moments that individuals choose to seek professional counselling supports and I know that this process can feel scary and overwhelming. With that, I would like to commend you on taking the first steps toward beginning your journey.

Reaching out for help regarding our mental health isn’t easy. Often times we wrestle with stigmas, stereotypes, low self-esteem, and/or beliefs that therapy is a sign of weakness. I’ve made it my goal to create a safe, open, informative and transformative space for people to work towards mental, physical, and emotional wellness, and grow more into the person they want and were created to be. Often times we feel stuck or burnt by situations and experiences in life, and it becomes difficult to reach out. My desire is that you would allow me the opportunity to come alongside of you and help you move from overwhelmed to overcoming!

Welcome! I work with career-minded people who struggle with Adult ADHD, Anxiety (Generalized, Social, Panic) , and Depression. Many clients are in high-pressure or creative fields, and feel they could be doing better, but struggle to get there on their own. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can explore concerns and learn tools to cope. I also work with couples who feel stuck, trapped, and frustrated with how things are going and have a desire to make things better. I feel fortunate to have worked in many settings that uplift 2S LGBTQ+ and BIPOC populations.

Whether it's a separation, the death of a loved one, or a recent move, life transitions can bring on distress and confusion.
I am a Toronto-based therapist trained to help individuals with high levels of stress and anxiety. Anxiety and stress can be debilitating without the proper supports in place. Often we feel overwhelmed with worry or isolated with numbness. It takes courage to reach out, but please know that it can get better over time. Those feelings can change and together we can find the coping skills that suit you and your needs.

My practice is 2S LGBTQA+ affirming, culturally inclusive, and trauma-informed.
Welcome! As a neurodivergent therapist, I have found that most of my clients seem to struggle with similar issues: feeling different their whole lives, struggling to understand themselves and others, maintaining healthy relationships, and processing past traumas. Maybe you were diagnosed at an early age, late-diagnosed (like I was), simply questioning your neurotype, or suspect that a loved one is neurodivergent and would like some support in that relationship. Maybe you need some support in navigating life's complexities and daily stressors, understanding emotions, or just need a safe space to BE YOU. You are welcome here!
