I aim to support and guide through the use of a range of techniques from Somatic Therapies, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy and EMDR.
I work with clients to ensure that they are receiving the care that works with their unique goals, and that they feel witnessed through their journey. I work with clients, from youths to adults, who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, sex and intimacy challenges, and interpersonal relationship issues. My aim is to support and guide clients using a mind-body approach that cultivates more depth from their self-reflection and emotional processing. I approach this work with openness, and aim to create a safe and brave space where these stories are both held and heard.

I have 16 years experience with degrees in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work with training in CBT, EFT and DBT as well as advanced trainings in somatic psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
Too often in psychotherapy the focus is on coping strategies and rehearsing the narrative of our traumas with little movement forward towards our goals. This is frustrating for everyone and despite good intentions, time and finances clients remain stuck. Private Therapy Toronto is devoted to supporting those ready to move through and out of their current circumstances and into more dynamic and vibrant lives. To do so, we must expand beyond the limits of traditional psychotherapy and integrate neuroscience and metaphysical/spiritual practices to stimulate the self-healing properties within.

Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method Level 1 (couples therapy), DBT, EFT, and meditation are my primary therapeutic modalities.
We often come to therapy wanting to feel better, perhaps to change old patterns that don’t align with the vision we have for our lives. Anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, or personality disruption, difficulty in relationships and addiction are symptoms arising from deeper core (shame-based) wounds. These problematic symptoms surface as a way to cover up painful, enmeshed emotions that are unseen and unheard. I therefore aim to go to the source not the symptom: I specialize in emotion, in building self-compassion, and addressing toxic shame.

I employ Western and Eastern modalities - CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), Psychodynamic Therapy, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, Energy Psychology - Yoga, Reiki, Mindfulness and Meditation.
Providing a balance of support and challenge, my approach to healing is holistic and comprehensive. I believe that each individual has all of the inner resources they need to achieve a sense of balance and equanimity. My role is merely to provide a safe, non-judgmental container in which they can reach their own integration - cognitively, emotionally and somatically. I aim to assist the individual's journey-making process through offering new ways at looking through the lens which often gets obscured by many mitigating factors. Clarity is the goal.

The Internal Family Systems model can help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness, compassion, and emotional regulation, leading to greater well-being and fulfillment in your daily life.
You struggle and may have a trauma history with anxiety and other issues. You feel stuck and don't know what to do. Are you willing to engage in self-exploration and have a genuine desire to heal yourself at a deeper level? My clients have a strong need to heal these burdens and are willing to invest time, effort, and energy into their therapeutic journey. They are open to exploring the different parts of themselves, including the ones that may be difficult, uncomfortable, or holding the burdens of the trauma. If you've had enough of letting whatever happened to you RULE your life, then maybe we can talk.

Combining both body and mind approaches, I draw from various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and attachment- based theories in my work with clients.
In my work, I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment for clients to explore and remove life barriers. I believe that all behavior does serve a purpose, and that purpose is usually to meet an unmet need. Through the work of therapy, you can develop a deeper understanding of what protective mechanisms such as anxiety, self- harm, and addiction have played a role in your life. Together, we can explore and discover what you need to feel supported to overcome these challenges and to experience growth and change.

I am an attachment based therapist using various forms of transformational trauma approaches (EMDR & Flash) in combination with other modalities that are tailored to your needs- Internal Family Systems, DBT, CBT, Psychodynamic, Adlerian Psychotherapy & psychoeducation about the effects of being raised by emotionally immature parents in childhood.
I work with individuals who want to resolve their past trauma. These traumas may come from childhood or from other traumatic events that can take place in adulthood. They are seeking better self understanding and most of all healing. Many of my client's have tried various forms of talk therapy and want to try something different as they have not yet identified the root cause of their difficulties or only noticed marginal change. The unresolved trauma may be contributing to ongoing relationship problems, anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns, or complex/post traumatic stress.

If trauma, abuse, and mental illness have left you feeling like you’re lost in the darkness, you’re not alone. It’s perfectly natural that the difficult emotions and loneliness you feel have cast a shadow over your life. But though the darkness may feel crushing, there is hope and light. The truth is your painful past does not mean that you are stuck with an unhappy future, and though your mental health might feel like it has taken charge of your life, it does not define you. As we work together, I’ll help you discover that you are much more than your circumstances, that your life matters, and that you have a powerful purpose.

In psychotherapy, I foster a motivation for change and strengthen hope that life can feel meaningful again. In my work with adults, adolescents, and couples I help to develop self-compassion and self-acceptance in the struggle with a wide range of concerns related to: anxiety, depression, stress management, anger management, addiction, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship and family. I have extensive training and experience working with individuals struggling with the long-term effects of trauma, abuse, and neglect, including the assessment and treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Dissociative Disorders.

Family Systems Counsellors
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
