Anxiety Therapists in Toronto, ON

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, struggling with your mental health or in relationships? I am here to help.

I offer relational psychotherapy, a gentle, client-centred approach that provides space to explore issues creating difficulties for you, work to understand their roots, and support you in making the changes you wish to make. Whether you're struggling with difficult feelings or relationships, a crisis in your life, ongoing stress, or issues from the past, this is a space where you can sift through your feelings and thoughts with connection and support. My style as a therapist is warm, open and accepting. I practice within a trauma-sensitive, anti-oppression, LGBTQ*-affirming framework.

My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.

Are you struggling with anxiety, hypersensitivity, a sense of disconnection or lack of belonging? It's possible you've endured a challenging upbringing and are contending with developmental trauma. These feelings can be incredibly distressing, but it's important to know that you're not alone. It's common to carry burdens for a long time without finding relief, especially when trying to navigate them alone. Embracing your true self is a collective journey; seeking guidance and support is essential. It's difficult to identify blind spots on our own. With the right assistance, there's a path towards feeling whole again.

Hello! I'm glad you're here! I believe that therapy should be a human experience where individuals feel supported in exploring vulnerable parts of themselves at their own pace and on their own terms. During our time together you can expect compassion, curiosity, lots of metaphors and a little bit of humour. Whatever you may be struggling with, I am here to help you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I offer sessions online, over the phone and in person in Barrie, Ontario

My approach is creative, relational, and I bring humour into my sessions. I offer a free 15-20 initial phone session.

Grow your own way. Do your own thing. Facing persistent anxiety and shame, it’s tempting to think there’s something wrong with you. In my experience, these repetitive, unsatisfying loops can be welcomed and worked with to find authentic, meaningful change. You don’t have to give up on you. No matter how dark it gets, pain is an expression of tenderness and human needs. These are the same muscles that light up the world. What’s missing is support to feel the full range of experience: pain, confusion, joy, excitement, etc.

It can be hard to see our whole selves from within our own stories–like trying to see our own eyes. As a supportive ally, I can help you to explore fresh perspectives when you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Reflecting together on the scripts that you have been rehearsing and playing, perhaps for many years, will allow you to reshape the stories that have limited you. Our work together has the potential to transform your sense of who you are, how you relate to yourself and how you relate to others.

In a culture focused on image and beauty, it is completely natural that we manifest shame, guilt, and anxiety in our body and food behaviours. If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Disordered eating, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia, may have been coping strategies to handle deeper-rooted issues-- they have acted as a means of control and comfort, when maybe you felt like you had none. The purpose of my practice is to foster sustainable emotional growth-- this means a relationship with your body and food that encourages self-worth, value, and connection.

It’s often hard to succeed in school and/or at work when we’re struggling with distressing feelings that we can’t seem to understand or manage.

Life often sends things our way we feel unprepared for, which can make us feel stuck, scared, or lost. Psychotherapy can help to develop the skills to navigate through what we cannot expect. Recognizing the cultural differences in acknowledging mental health, it is important for me to provide a space for all individuals to explore their challenges and overcome their obstacles. To me, therapy is about self-awareness and healing. It takes a lot of courage to seek help, and I admire your first step into this unknown. By seeking support, you have already taken the first vital step towards self-growth.

In our lives we may find ourselves feeling “stuck” sometimes. Overwhelming feelings can become a barrier in our personal and professional growth. These difficulties may include distressing thoughts, anxiety, depression, grief, loss of a loved one, low self-esteem, unsatisfying relationships, fear of abandonment, ideas of perfectionism and hyper-criticality towards yourself. The work we do in therapy will be aimed at observing and reflecting on the challenges you are experiencing. We shall work towards removing the roadblocks that stand in the way of your growth and move you toward a sense of fulfillment and well-being.

If life transitions, multiple stressors, traumatic events, perinatal challenges, burnout, or low self-esteem leave you feeling disconnected, worthless, anxious, or frustrated, I am here to help you make sense of your pain and create a life worth living. With compassion, warmth, and a dash of humor, I will work with you to deepen your self-awareness and identify what's not working in your life. I will support you develop practical coping skills and new emotional, thought, and behavioural patterns so you can live by your values, achieve your goals, and meet your needs.
