Attachment-based Therapists in Toronto, ON

My ideal psychotherapy client is an individual who is motivated to explore their inner world. Someone who willing to explore, and possibly reevaluate bedrock assumptions that play a major role in influencing our current attitudes and life choices. An ideal client also recognizes that a therapist's role is not to provide answers but rather to facilitate a process of self discovery which promotes emotional growth and lays the foundation for enduring change.

Are you struggling in your relationships with others? Relationships are complex and could be complicated. Yet, as human beings, we need others, and when there are challenges in our relationships we suffer and struggle. We all need to be loved and cared for, yet we often push away the very people we want to be close to. Rejection or the fear of it, could be so painful and makes us withdraw, isolate or hurt back. As a result, we may feel inadequate, unlovable, unworthy, and hopeless. Deep down, we want to feel connected, and we want to feel good about ourselves, and at peace.

Feeling alone in your relationship? Experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety and always feeling overwhelmed? Know that you are not alone. If your goal is to start feeling like an active participant and being an expert in your own life and if you are seeking for a safe space to talk and someone to truly listen to you, your journey towards this goal can begin now.

Thank you for stopping by. You are here today, maybe because you are looking for answers or some clarity. Perhaps you may have been dealing with your current situation the best way you can, but you feel stuck, unable to move forward. Whatever the dilemmas that brought you here today, I will meet you where you are in your journey and allow regard for your comfort level. I will walk alongside you in your quest to get where you want to be in your life and relationships.

Hello and welcome to my page! Have you been feeling anxious or overwhelmed lately? Are you looking to gain some clarity in your next steps or set goals to work towards in your future? Are you looking to understand past narratives that may impact your current relationships?

I would love to work alongside you as we discover ways of coping and healing through difficult times.

I have over sixteen years of experience working with individuals and families, from diverse backgrounds and age groups, who are seeking support with various life challenges including but not limited to anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, and grief.

However, my primary focus is in supporting children, adolescents and their parents/caregivers struggling to cope with mental health challenges that impact their functioning at home, school and/or community.

Sometimes we are looking for change, figuring out our next step, or getting stuck and not living our lives fully. There could be moments of deep emotional pain and struggle when we feel alone and vulnerable, facing isolation, grief, loss or insecurities in important relationships. Not always we see clearly how to tackle those and we want to have someone to check with, be heard and seen, or get ideas for new directions. Learning to face inevitable life challenges, upsets, and crises of existence with confidence is what therapy is all about.

Accepting a few individual clients online: Are you feeling anxious in your relationships? Feeling unseen, misunderstood, and stuck? Unprocessed events often show up as overwhelm, depression, conflicts, lack of boundaries, codependency, and low self-confidence and self-esteem. This can include things that happened within your close circles or systemic trauma. Through therapy, I will help you understand and unpack why you feel, think, and behave the way you do and learn and practice new skills for making positive changes. If you are ready to do the deeper work, I will help you. You can have agency over your own life.

Sometimes our experiences can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and dysregulated. These emotions can impact our relationships with others and our relationships with ourselves. I encourage therapeutic growth by nurturing the inner child, making peace with the inner critic, and reconnecting clients with their authentic sense of self. I value the healing impact of our parts being seen, heard, validated, and accepted. I work with individuals, couples, parents, and youth. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered, Self-Compassion, Existential, Relational, Narrative, Strength-based, Attachment-based, and Polyvagal Theory.

There are times we may feel that we are losing hope, lacking resilience, overwhelmed by our feelings, or unsure which step to take next.

I offer individual and family therapy and work with children, adolescents, and adults. My clients seek support in many areas including anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, self-esteem, parenting, and more. I also offer individual and group clinical supervision. My practice is collaborative and all are welcome.

I can help you to make sense of these experiences and make the changes you want. While I work with clients on a range of concerns, I have extensive experience working with people who have endured abuse or neglect, as well as with people of transgender experience and LGB folks.
