Autism Therapists in Ontario

Accepting New Clients- Do you or your child struggle with emotions or overwhelming thoughts that impact your daily life? Do you ever feel a sense of hopelessness, as if there is no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you seek to live a happier life? If the answer is yes to any of the above questions, I believe that by working together we can accomplish your path to happiness, one that is filled with balance and replenishment. I provide a non-judgemental and empathetic approach that best suits your unique needs and would be happy to assist you on your journey.

I work with both youth and adults experiencing mental health concerns including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, work/school stress, and topics of gender/sexuality. I am passionate about creating a therapeutic experience tailored to each client through collaboration and an integrative approach that draws on a variety of humanistic modalities.

I believe in creating a safe space for my clients to be seen, heard, and understood. Art therapy can provide a new avenue of expression to help address concerns such as anxiety and depression, anger management, or other emotional and behavioural challenges. I bring a wealth of experience from working individually with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in school settings, and I continue to implement this experience into the therapeutic space. Additionally, I am also experienced in working with individuals to address relationship concerns by exploring underlying emotions, boundaries, and the conscious/unconscious mind.

People who may not be able to experience other kinds of psychotherapies are often more open to the benefits of music therapy. You can develop love for life through creative music making, because music plays incredible role in human well-being. I provide a person-centred and evidence-based music therapy/psychotherapy, using a heart-centred model as a representative of the humanistic approach, and a music-centred model as a professional musician, which gives me a wide range of musical and verbal choices for implementing activities and allows me to be flexible in selecting methods and techniques.

I offer bilingual services. J'offre aussi de la thérapie en français. Life has challenges, but we don't have to face them alone. My priority is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I want to develop genuine therapeutic relationships with my clients to make them feel comfortable and vulnerable in our work together.

Reaching out for support for your mental health can sometimes feel intimidating and overwhelming. It is the first step of something big, the beginning of a journey towards positive change. My warm and empathetic personality has guided me to always being kind and open minded, creating a safe and inclusive space for all.

Guiding clients through a deep exploration into their racial identity, navigate parenting challenges, managing Autism and neurodivergent traits. My experience also extends to supporting individuals, families, and couples who have not yet mastered the ability to manage symptoms of ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and mood disorders. I specialize in supporting and addressing various adult mental health concerns, while supporting individuals and couples of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds as they explore their unique identities and navigate the complexities of social expectations.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Need help navigating relationships or family conflict? Is work wearing you down and burning you out? Is OCD, ADHD, Autism or past difficult experiences getting in your way? Are you worried about your child or teen's anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, social skills or learning challenges?

Do you struggle with chronic feelings of emptiness, the fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, a lack of knowing who you are at your core due to a distorted sense of self image and identity, emotional mood swings, social isolation, perfectionistic tendencies, procrastination, social anxiety and the effects of complex post traumatic stress? The effects of these struggles can result in anxiety, issues in relationships with yourself and others, job insecurity, and/or low self-worth. If you answered yes to any of the questions above, please know that you are not alone, and that I am trained to offer you support as a therapist.

Families face many pressures in today’s fast paced high tech society with over packed schedules and focus on achievement. More children are struggling with flooded emotions, and those with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders experience difficulties navigating community systems that are often not built for them. I am confident that I can help children, youth, and their parents in honoring their uniqueness and strengths while developing lifelong strategies so that they can thrive in their homes, schools, and communities.

We all need a space where we can be ourselves. When walking alone gets hard, therapy can help us restore our sense of self and make life manageable again. Stepping into this space can look like many things: being curious about ourselves, making meaning out of painful experiences, coming into connection with vital feelings and needs, and understanding and respecting the parts of you that you want to change. For some of us, healing can only happen in a space that acknowledges the impacts of marginalization and the need for systemic change. From here, we can begin to find new ways of being in the world that honour all of who we are.

Are you looking for a safe space where you feel seen, feel heard, and meet your goals? I have been providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families for over 15 years. I offer a non-judgmental, client-centred, and strength-based approach to meet people where they are at. I am dedicated to creating a safe space and am passionately committed to my clients and their well-being. With children and youth, I utilize a play and art based approach so therapy can be fun.

When you are so focused on simply getting through each day, it can be easy to begin to lose yourself, forgetting who you are, and what you want. Therapy can be a doorway to healing from past trauma and discovering yourself anew. You can learn to find peace and balance in your life, and cultivate a deeper understanding of what care you need, and how much support you can give to others. I offer therapy for people struggling with trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief and loss, post-partum mental health concerns, ADHD, Autism, and newcomers to Canada who want to talk about this big life change.

We all need support in navigating life’s hardships, which can leave us feeling stuck, alone and overwhelmed. I strive to create a safe, caring, collaborative and supportive environment for you to explore life’s hardships, while also encouraging you to recognize your strengths. It is important for me to create connection, understanding, compassion, empathy and self-growth in your therapeutic experience. My goal is to support you in developing tools and coping strategies, while also digging deeper to create understanding of the underlying origin of patterns and themes within your life that are no longer serving you.

With nearly a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals with autism, trauma, anxiety, and those seeking emotional and mental well-being.

I specialize in supporting children (9+), youth, adults, and their families in navigating challenges associated with neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD, as well as complex mental health issues like depression and anxiety, suicidal ideation and self-harm. With a deep understanding of difficulties faced by neurodivergent individuals, I understand the importance of building onto a client’s existing strengths, providing new education and skills and working with parents, caregivers and/or other professionals to ensure that clients have the support they need to thrive.
