Jewish Therapists in Ontario

As a therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, I offer a compassionate and supportive space for individuals to explore their feelings and experiences. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, incorporating evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and emotion-focused therapy. I strive to help clients develop effective coping strategies, improve their emotional well-being, and foster healthier relationships.

I'm here to help you with your trauma-related challenges including anxiety, depression, anger, and grief, and to achieve more emotional regulation. Your body may be storing memories of unresolved experiences and trauma that have become the narrator of your negative thoughts, unsafe feelings, or negative coping behaviours. Processing early childhood experiences and their associated emotions in the mind-body will move you into a more conscious state of being with deeper awareness and self-compassion for healthier relationships and behaviours, and the capacity to live a more vibrant and balanced life that is self-directed with meaning.

As a social work trained psychotherapist (Ontario) with over a decade of private practice experience, I hope to bring an open and accepting mind to a wide variety of clientele. Finding a good fit in a therapist is so hard, especially if it is your first time reaching out for help. It can be daunting. To me a good therapeutic space is one in which trust and compassion can be established, where a person can feel both supported and sometimes gently challenged, and where a relationship is created in which one can feel not only heard, but also understood.

In my years of practice, my focus has been centred around individuals from different walks of life (i.e race, religion, gender, sexual orientation etc). Particularly, ones who have trauma, body image issues, low self esteem, fibromyalgia, phobias and/or are anxious, depressed, stressed, destructive, angry, lonely, abused and in or have been in the child welfare system. In regards to my approach, I am genuine and compassionate, but remain equally honest and direct. Rather than bombarding clients with endless questions, I aim to engage them through meaningful methods and effective interventions.

Are you a mom of a baby or toddler and feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of parenthood? Are you feeling frustrated with one of your children and unsure where to take this thought for fear of being judged?

Either way, I would love to chat.

Do you feel anxious, stuck, or confused in your life or in relationships? Do you get stuck in a loop of anxious thoughts? Do your emotions feel overwhelming or do you feel numb and unfeeling? There is a way out of the difficult space you are in now where you can begin thriving instead of just surviving each day.

I am a compassionate and empathetic counsellor who is dedicated to providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to freely speak your truth.

I am here to support you towards living a fuller life while guiding you toward self-awareness and empowerment.

Do you suffer from a chronic health condition(s), a disability, or are going through a difficult life transition? Do you feel stuck because you're anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, and are uncertain how to move forward? Is it affecting your self esteem, your social life and relationships, and your ability to work. Do you deal with chronic pain, difficulty sleeping or staying focused or on task? I know that you can improve your resilience and have a better quality-of-life.

With over two decades of experience in mental health and psychotherapy services, I specialize in working with tweens, teens, adults and families across a range of mental health and wellness areas including: Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Stress Management, School Based Challenges, Parenting, Relationship difficulties, etc.

The clients who choose to work with me all want change, and I believe the path forward lies within us. I have experience working specifically with depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, coping, infidelity, shame, and anger. I have supported clients ranging from high school-aged adolescents to senior populations. Our goals together can involve harnessing stronger emotional regulation, improving self-esteem, understanding the deeper meaning of behaviours and thought processes, or even decision making. Progress is a matter of reconciling what we possess inside to move ourselves forward.

My goal is to help children, adolescents, young adults and parents better understand themselves, their feelings, each other, and the world around them. Together, we'll work to build a toolbox of skills to help manage the big feelings and challenging circumstances you may face when moving through life. In my work, I connect with clients by prioritizing a strong therapeutic relationship through trust and commitment to collaboratively work towards their personal and familial goals. I also work with parents to support the social, emotional, and behavioural development of their children.

If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.
