Autism Therapists in Ontario
I specialize in supporting caregivers and youth with anxiety, behaviour challenges, emotion dysregulation, and other mental health challenges. I have extensive experience working with autistic, ADHD, 2e children and am neurodiversity affirming. I strive to see each child for who they are, honouring their unique strengths and interests as I support them in addressing areas of emotional and behavioural functioning that impact opportunities for fulfillment. Drawing from a variety of approaches, including CBT, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems and play therapy, I work with children and parents in a collaborative, lighthearted manner.

As a queer first-generation immigrant, I felt lost trying to adjust to a new country while grieving the community left behind. I struggled with shame, loneliness, and lack of support. In finding a therapist that understood my experience, shifts started to happen. I felt seen and validated and new possibilities emerged. It is this transformative experience that motivated me to start my practice centering queer and racialized voices with anti-oppression and de-colonization at the forefront.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who helps people who are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and depression. Many of these are common symptoms for people who struggle with mental health conditions. Understanding the barriers in a person’s life, and previous trauma, can help identify present day triggers and daily struggles. The goal of therapy would be to work collaboratively, using a psychotherapy framework, to identify the cause of the struggles and work towards understanding and reducing symptoms affecting your daily life.

You're a woman in your 20's or 30's who needs a therapist who "gets" your ADHD brain. You've tried therapy before, but felt like you were just talking about your problems - you need somebody who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and call you on your shit. You've tried all the things - meditation, journaling, breathwork, medication, positive thinking, you've watched all the therapy tiktoks but you're still stuck. You have felt this way for a while and are not only ready, but are fully committed to making real change

Are you tired of feeling like you don’t fit into society’s outdated expectations of what it means to be a woman?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

Are you a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person dealing with the hurt of discrimination, rejection, or the feeling that folks around you just don’t understand? Maybe you struggle with trauma symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, depression, self-blame, or low self-worth. It can be hard to get up the courage to come to therapy only to feel like you have to explain the basics of your identity to your therapist. Worse yet, it can be scary to seek therapy when the field of psychology has historically tried to keep us from being our authentic selves.

In an overwhelming and exhausting world, psychotherapy can be a refuge. When you’ve been feeling burned out, spread too thin, and isolated... When you’re keeping it together most of the time, but find it hard to understand how other people stay on top of everything... When you have always been regarded as independent or self-reliant, but underneath you wish others recognized what a struggle it’s been... Therapy is a place where you can be seen, supported, and even celebrated.

You were going along with your daily routines, but now things are starting to feel more difficult. You’re starting to feel overwhelmed and life is just not going as you had expected. You might start to put on a brave face, but inside you are just not feeling like the version of yourself you once were. You notice your patience is thinner with the people that you usually enjoy having around you, you’ve even snapped and said something you didn’t mean before you could stop yourself. You try to fix it but then it happens again. You talk down to yourself and just cannot boost yourself out of this funk. Now you’re taking a brave step.
