Blue Shield Therapists in Toronto, ON
Oftentimes, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can emerge in our lives and make us feel stuck. In addition, experiences with trauma can make us feel like we are not deserving of support. You deserve mental health support that seeks to understand your unique experiences, needs and goals. Depression, anxiety and experiences with trauma can be debilitating mental health concerns that impact our well-being, relationships and daily living. These moments can be tough to navigate without someone to trust and confide in for support.

Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our therapy sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

If you’re reading this, I believe there is a part of you that yearns for some positive change in your life. I also believe that I can help you get there; together. I have over 13 years of experience in mental health and therapy through which I’ve encountered folks from all walks of life and I’m certain of one thing: we all want to feel heard and be seen. Our respective journeys can be full of all kinds of experiences which can often include trauma, stress, grief, anxiety, feelings of depression and cause us to question how to move forward.

Do you find yourself feeling out of sync with others, or even with yourself? Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or concerns with the relationships in your life? Are you wondering if there is a way to feel more fulfilled, and less weighed down by worry, sadness, or self doubt? Many of us are grappling with uncertainty, stress, and generally feeling overwhelmed, which can impact our relationships, career, and sense of self. They say the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second-best time is now – I believe the same can be said about taking steps toward achieving your best self.

My areas of interest range from helping the LGBTQIA+ population deal with self-acceptance and self-esteem to helping adolescents and adults grapple with life transitions, complex grief, anxiety and depression. I also enjoy working with couples and families within these areas, particularly in a multicultural context. Therapy is both a science and an art, and you and I can weave the tapestry of your healing experience through techniques that allure both the intellectual and subconscious minds. By integrating these two aspects of your sense of being, I can help you tap into your wiser self.

You are important! I often hear my clients sharing their feelings of not being heard by their loved ones or not knowing where to start in their healing journey. I use self-compassion and your strengths as a starting point to build coping strategies. My goal is to always give you a space to be heard and someone on your team so you know you are not alone. I find the warmth of emotion-focused therapy and integrative approach of psychodynamic therapy combine to create a kind and deep understanding of my clients during their process. Your needs and boundaries are important, together we can work on building confidence and self-advocacy.

Are you tired of feeling like you don’t fit into society’s outdated expectations of what it means to be a woman? Do you find yourself raging against the oppressive systems that tell you your worth is tied to your body size, sexuality, or ability to conform to outdated norms? You see how messed up it all is but the "old programming" feels engrained, the self-criticism, self-betrayal, people pleasing, "try-harder" mentality, the never feeling "good enough"...it's still there. You've tried to overcome it with self-help, meditation, reading, journaling, but it doesn't seem to stick - it's hard to heal societal wounds alone

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. As a social worker, I use my lived experience as part of the BIPOC community to help you navigate difficult relationships, and their impact on your life. Oftentimes, the ones who you care about the most contribute to the most amount of pain. My gentle presence helps you navigate the push and pull of wanting these connections, while also maintaining a sense of safety and personal peace. Session by session, we collaboratively make “right” the common conflicting feelings that arise in complex relationships, so you have more space “inside” to be the adult you want to be.
