Too often, people endure their obstacles alone, convinced that they must shoulder their burdens in silence. Whether it’s a child struggling with emotional regulation, a teenager navigating the complexities of anxiety amid life’s changes, or an adult wrestling with depression, everyone can benefit from specialized support at various points in their lives.

My approach to therapy is centered on empathy, collaboration, and autonomy. Together, we work to identify your strengths, confront your challenges, and develop practical strategies for overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals.

By creating a safe space to address your mental health, embracing creative solutions, and fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship, I strive to create lasting positive change in the lives of my clients. Together, we can navigate the journey towards healing, growth, and greater well-being.

The unknown can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or depression, navigating identity questions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, uncertainty can bring discomfort, fear, and self-doubt. It’s common to find ourselves asking, “Why do I feel this way?” or “Where do I go from here?” Sometimes the “I don’t know’s” of life can pile up until they begin to cloud our sense of self, strain our relationships, or impact our ability to function day-to-day. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

As a therapist, I meet clients with openness and respect, creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard. Drawing from a range of evidence based approaches, I tailor our work to fit your unique experiences and goals. Whether you’re exploring gender and sexual identity, healing from trauma, managing ADHD or codependency, or working to build stronger communication and intimacy, therapy becomes a space to slow down, reflect, and grow. I view the phrase “I don’t know” not as a problem, but as an opening—a doorway to curiosity, insight, and possibility.

Our work together will center on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to explore, question, and transform. With compassionate support and practical tools, clients often find themselves feeling more grounded, empowered, and clear about who they are and what they need. Whether it’s developing assertiveness, managing anger, navigating infidelity or conflict, or reconnecting to self-worth, therapy helps move from confusion to clarity—from “I don’t know” to “I understand”—and from surviving to living meaningfully and authentically

We are shaped by both nature and nurture, forces often beyond our control that affect us physically and emotionally throughout our lives. Understanding and addressing these influences is essential for personal growth and well-being. Unresolved past issues, present challenges, and future planning can sometimes feel overwhelming.

I use a combination of approaches to understand and address the needs of children, teens and adults. I believe that symptoms and behaviours have underlying causes that may be rooted in the client’s past or current life situation.

My goal is to create a safe space for safe emotional expression and healing. I help clients manage their symptoms while addressing the root of the problem by using a mix of talk therapy, art making and EMDR when necessary.

As an individual and couples therapist, I understand the challenges you may face when you feel disconnected from yourself or your partner. Miscommunication, unresolved conflicts, emotional distance, or past traumas can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future of your relationship.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns openly. Together, we’ll identify the root causes of your struggles and work through them using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices.

Sometimes we feel we are trapped in unfavorable circumstances and life has been unfair to us. You may feel upset, frustrated, and lonely. Finding a solution to a difficult situation seems impossible. There is that small inner voice that whispers “It’s all hopeless”.

We work together to shift the focus from seeing external factors as the primary cause of emotional struggles to realizing that the key to overcoming challenges often lies within ourselves. By exploring inner thoughts and feelings, we can discover new ways to approach and manage difficult situations. This process helps to build a deeper understanding and greater resilience.

My goal is to guide you in truly listening to and understanding yourself on a deeper level. When you make conscious efforts to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, what once seemed hopeless can often reveal solutions. This journey leads to greater self-awareness and a stronger sense of self-worth, allowing you to approach challenges with newfound clarity and confidence.

You don’t have to carry it alone. Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or painful relationship experiences. You might find yourself constantly second-guessing your worth, people-pleasing at the expense of your own needs, or replaying the sting of a friendship breakup, betrayal, or attachment wound. If you’re feeling lost, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, you’re not alone, and support is possible.

Therapy can be a space where things start to make sense again. I believe that healing begins with understanding and deepens through connection. With a warm, collaborative, and person-centered approach, I create a space where you can explore your story safely and honestly — at your pace. I’m especially passionate about helping clients navigate individual relationship challenges and build healthier self-esteem. Together, we can unpack emotional injuries, recognize patterns shaped by attachment experiences, and uncover your inner strengths.

I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy to support you in making lasting changes.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Life can bring challenges that leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck — stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, unexpected losses, or major transitions that shake your sense of stability. You might be struggling with questions about your identity, navigating ADHD, managing intense emotions, or facing tension in your relationships or marriage. Whatever you’re carrying, it’s not always easy to cope on your own. I’m here to walk alongside you.

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. My approach helps uncover the root causes of difficulties, paving the way for lasting, meaningful change. In couples therapy, you can expect transformative experiences that foster deeper emotional connection, clearer communication, and healthier ways of resolving conflict. In individual therapy, I offer a supportive space to explore your inner world, increase self-awareness, and develop practical tools for navigating life with resilience and clarity.

I believe you are the expert of your own life — and that at times, you may also be your own harshest critic. My role is to create a trusting therapeutic relationship through compassion, curiosity, and unconditional acceptance. In this space, clients can explore all parts of themselves, leading to deeper insight, self-trust, self-acceptance and reconnection with their strengths and confidence. Together, we will identify recurring patterns, explore the emotional roots of your struggles, gently uncover the fears or blocks that may be holding you back, and develop strategies tailored to your unique story and needs.

Life’s journey can be fraught with obstacles and challenges, often leaving us feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, or depressed. Anxiety and depression can be deeply intertwined with our relationships, both past and present, especially if we carry lasting emotional scars from traumatic experiences that affect how we relate to others and ourselves. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to explore these experiences, understand their impact, and develop healthier ways of relating.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based treatments to address the complex and interconnected nature of the issues my clients are facing. In our work together we can focus on understanding the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, learning new coping skills and strategies, developing psychological flexibility and acceptance of difficult thoughts and emotions. We can address relationship issues and borderline personality traits through learning such skills as emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. I also often integrate mindfulness-based techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, into my work to help my clients cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress. Clinical hypnotherapy can be used to access the subconscious mind and facilitate positive changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours by processing difficult emotions and memories in a safe and controlled environment.

Through our collaborative work in therapy, you can expect to see significant improvements in various aspects of your life. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the interconnected nature of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. With newfound coping skills and strategies, you’ll feel more equipped to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence and notice a greater sense of inner peace and clarity. You’ll be able to build healthier and more fulfilling connections with others. Ultimately, therapy is a journey of growth and self-discovery, and I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way towards achieving your goals and living your best life.

It is common for parents to feel overwhelmed when they first receive their child’s diagnosis of Autism. They quickly learn that ABA is the “gold standard” for treatment, but parents need a provider who they can not only trust their child with, but who can also show results- both big and small. But how do they know they are choosing the right provider? How do they know that their child will receive an intervention plan that makes sense for their child? My approach uses the methodology of ABA in a way that makes sense to both a child and parent. We work together to pick goals that are specific & meaningful. While curriculums are excellent resources, and often necessary to support behaviour plans, they are not the only guide practitioners should use. We get to know your child, how they learn, what makes them feel joy, select challenging yet attainable goals, and develop teaching strategies that - yes - make sense. When a child is not learning, my team works to determine the issue at hand, then modify our teaching accordingly. For “problem behaviours”, Functional Behavioural Assessments (FBA) are also used in order to effectively identify contingencies maintaining the behaviour(s). ABA is not a cure. It is an evidence-based, real-life teaching tool that, when used responsibly and effectively, changes lives. We focus on all domains of life so your child can learn an array of skills, such as academics, communication, social skills, daily living skills, community living skills, self-regulation, health & fitness, and more!

Sometimes, everyday tasks can feel overwhelming — for a child, that might look like frequent meltdowns, difficulty expressing needs, or challenges at school or home. As a parent or caregiver, it’s hard to watch your child struggle and not know how to help. That’s where I come in.

As an ABA Therapist, I use evidence-based behavioural strategies to support children in developing meaningful skills — from communication and emotional regulation to independence and social connection. My approach is client-centered and relationship-driven, grounded in patience, creativity, and consistency.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all plan. Every child is unique, and I take the time to understand their strengths, needs, and environment. Together, we work toward practical, achievable goals that support not just short-term progress, but long-term confidence and growth.

In our sessions, your child will find a structured, supportive space where they can:

• Learn and practice communication and language skills

• Strengthen emotional regulation and reduce challenging behaviours

• Build independence in daily routines and self-help tasks

• Improve social interaction, play, and turn-taking skills

• Develop coping strategies that foster resilience and confidence

ABA isn’t about rigid compliance — it’s about helping children understand the world around them and empowering them with the tools they need to thrive in it. I value collaboration with families and caregivers, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with stressors of life or find ourselves disconnected from our feelings. We struggle with self-esteem and are not sure how to become the person we want to be. At times we might feel like giving up on ourselves and our relationships.

My approach to therapy involves creating a safe and empathetic space, conducting a thorough assessment, and collaboratively setting achievable goals with clients struggling with stress, motivation, and feelings of disconnection. Using cognitive-behavioural techniques, emotional focused therapy, and interpersonal skill building, I work to challenge negative thinking, enhance self-esteem, and improve relationships.

Life is full of unexpected challenges and can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of past trauma. Perhaps academic or work pressures feel unmanageable, or you’re navigating life transitions that leave you feeling lost or uncertain. It’s easy to feel stuck and lonely in these moments, but you don’t have to face them alone.

My approach to therapy is holistic, tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. I integrate client-centered approaches with various evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). With these approaches, I aim to create a safe space for self-exploration and healing. With a background in both medicine and mental health, I bring a trauma-informed perspective and a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. Together, we can help you regain a sense of control and balance by uncovering your strengths, challenging limiting beliefs, and developing strategies.

Through the journey of therapy, my goal is to help you build resilience, increase self-awareness, and cultivate meaningful change. Therapy is not just about addressing difficulties—it is about fostering growth, self-compassion, and a greater sense of empowerment. You have the capacity to overcome challenges and live a fulfilling life, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Society often creates an invisible race where people feel pressured to match the achievements, lifestyles, and appearances of others around them. This constant comparison can make individuals feel like they are falling behind, even when they are making progress at their own pace. Over time, the weight of trying to “keep up” can lead to feelings of low self-esteem, low self-worth, isolation, anxiety, and depression. When people start to measure their worth based on someone else’s timeline, it becomes easy to lose sight of their own value and unique journey, causing deep and lasting impacts on mental health.

Our work together will begin with forming a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy and mutual respect. This relationship will be the foundation of our journey together. I utilize Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) interventions tailored to your specific needs, experiences, and goals. We will conduct the sessions at your pace, as you are the author and expert of your own story.

As a therapist, I strive to establish strong, trusting relationships with my clients, creating a safe space where they can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges without fear of judgment. My goal is for you to apply what you have learned in our sessions to your everyday life, so that one day, you won’t need me anymore.

In a world filled with constant pressures and uncertainties, people often find themselves dealing with anxiety, depression, and complicated relationships. Navigating these alone can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and despair.

I offer support to individuals and couples who are seeking to understand themselves better and heal. This process requires courage and guidance, which I am dedicated to providing. I aim to help transform and strengthen your connections and relationships.

Witnessing the transformation of individuals and couples is the heart of my practice. In individual therapy, clients rediscover their inner strength, navigating personal challenges with newfound resilience. For couples, the result is a rekindled connection, a deeper understanding of each other, and ways to navigate the complexities of shared life. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming environment that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship.

Life can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, from others and even from your own body. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by stress or big emotions that feel hard to manage. Maybe relationships feel strained, or old trauma is resurfacing in ways you don’t fully understand. Whatever you’re facing, it’s not always easy to figure it out on your own.

I offer a grounded, body-focused approach to therapy that helps you process emotions not just through talking, but through tuning into what your body is telling you. Using Somatic Therapy alongside tools from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I’ll support you in understanding your inner world and building the skills you need to move forward.

Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns behind your emotional struggles and work toward lasting change, not just symptom relief. You’ll learn how to feel more in control, more present, and more connected to yourself and your life.

In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, accepting space where your experiences are met with care and not judgment. I’ll tailor our sessions to your unique needs and pace, helping you:

-Understand and regulate overwhelming emotions

-Heal from trauma and stress stored in the body

-Navigate relationship challenges with more clarity and confidence

-Build inner stability, trust, and emotional resilience

This work isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you feel safe in your own body again, and rediscovering a sense of calm, clarity, and connection.

Before dedicating myself to psychotherapy, I worked as a lawyer. Although it was a successful and rewarding career, I felt a deep calling to support individuals and couples on a more personal and transformative level. My own experiences of going through significant life changes, including immigrating to Canada, have given me a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges that arise from such transitions.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience working in various settings, including educational and clinical environments, as well as in private practice. These experiences have allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for the complexity of human experiences and the resilience of the human spirit. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and growth, and I am dedicated to helping you unlock your inner potential.

In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns, process past traumas, and develop strategies to cope with anxiety and relationship difficulties. I draw upon evidence-based approaches such as CBT to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, EFT to enhance emotional connections and foster secure relationships, and somatic experiencing to support the integration of mind and body in healing.

I approach therapy from a client-centered perspective, recognizing that you are the expert of your own life. I will listen attentively, validate your experiences, and collaborate with you to develop tailored treatment plans that address your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work towards empowering you to create positive changes, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate fulfilling relationships.

I am honored to join you on this transformative journey. If you’re ready to embark on a path of healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. Remember, you are not alone, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

At times we are unhappy with ourselves, personal relationship, work, and within various “roles we play” in life. If we do not accept it, we often tend to blame external factors (parents, partners, supervisors, neighbours, sometimes - the government, or even global issues). We become stressed, anxious, angry, depressed, or sad. We then target our “anxiety”, or “mood disorder”, or an addiction to things, substances, or experiences, we remain unhappy and frustrated until we start looking inward. It is dark there and hard to see anything. We need the tools, the light, and mainly – the courage to explore our own “contents”, our souls, our psyche.

There are various ways to explore our souls. The goal of this exploration is to discover and bring the treasures up to our conscious mind. A self-reflective process enables us to produce a visible and tangible image of what we may be experiencing, explore what arises from it and find insight and meaning to the emotions and raising self-awareness.

I can facilitate this process and be your companion, and, if necessary – your guide. Your expectations of yourself and others will adjust in the process, frustration will leave you, and you will see the path to move forward.
