I am a Registered Psychotherapist with experience supporting individuals with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, perfectionism, life transitions as well as postpartum depression and anxiety. I have specialized training in supporting those in postpartum (from conception to 2 years after birth). Parenting is so often child-centred and my intention is to shift some of that attention and care onto the parents needs. The therapeutic work involves exploring what gets in the way of doing so. This can include perfectionistic expectations, learned coping patterns of self-dismissal and unresolved childhood issues.

Currently Accepting New Clients. We live in exceedingly challenging times, and we can naturally feel overwhelmed from internal and external pressures. We all have a deep inherent need for safety, support, and understanding. It is my goal as a Gestalt Therapist to work with each client to co-create these conditions together. The therapeutic process is like The Hero's Journey. We each have our own unique path. Likewise we each face our own various challenges, tests and confrontations. At different times in our lives we come to an impasse and realize we need help, this is human and we have all been there. Therapy can help.

You're here because you've taken the first, and one of the hardest steps in reaching out for support - and that, takes a lot of courage. Starting therapy can be hard - finding the right therapist, navigating the choice of virtual or in-person, or even just trying to find out what you need or what you're looking for. At Feelings First, we want to make therapy easy and comfortable. We offer free consultations with no pressure or obligation to move forward - just a space where we can get to know you, answer any questions you may have, and see if we're the right fit for you and your needs.

As a clinical psychologist, I help people understand the roots of their pain and suffering so that they can heal from the inside out. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive safe for people to relax, open up and heal. Together we embark on a journey of understanding from an individual's outer physical experience to their core self. Everyone is unique and I strive to tailor each person's therapeutic journey to reflect their individual needs. I can also conduct psychological assessments to help clarify potential diagnoses or personality factors that may be contributing to current struggles.

I am passionate about the process of holistic healing. After completing a BA in Psychology, I spent 12 years in the field learning about people from various populations including disabilities, mental health, dual-diagnosis, acculturation, concurrent disorders, foster care, and justice involvement. I developed a preference to support and walk alongside people through their journey, completing a Master's in Social Work in 2021. My work experiences have included the school board, Canadian Mental Health Association, and Toronto Public Health.

Do you struggle with feeling triggered by your relationship, co-workers or your children? Have you experienced trauma at some point and feel that this may be presenting itself now in the present? Do you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, reactive or emotionally raw? Oftentimes unprocessed trauma and impactful experiences can lead us to feeling reactive, emotionally raw, anxious and depressed. By looking into the events that have shaped us, we can re-process trauma and painful experiences and help the body and brain to heal, bringing relief. I use an integrative therapy approach and am trained in EMDR.

Each person’s experiences can only be witnessed and felt from their own perspective. I recognize that every person has an innate human need to be heard, witnessed, respected, and honored in those experiences. The focus of my practice is to honor every individual's unique feelings, circumstances, and experiences without interpreting them. My goal is to find the deepest meanings to their experiences. I want to help them heal from those experiences and help them to integrate them into becoming empowered to live their fullest lives.

There are times in our lives when the direction along our path remains unclear. We know we are going forward, yet we are unsure of our destination. It is in these moments of life that we may turn to our systems of support to help guide the way. As a member of your support system, my goal is to help plant the seeds along your path that will allow you to weather the storm and emerge along your journey with blossoming hope. I am proud of you for taking a brave step toward this goal.

Life can be unpredictable and complex, which makes us feel stuck in the spot that we are standing on. We may be able to cope momentarily, but realize that we are cycling through the same patterns unable to find solid ground. This can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and lonely. One of the first steps you can take from where you are standing is the ability to reach out for support through therapy. In this space, you can begin the process toward greater healing and freedom, turning your hopeless end into endless hope. While our past and circumstances have influenced our present, it does not have to dictate our future.
