My specialties include anxiety, depression, grief, stress, burnout, marriage & relationship conflicts, intimacy, dating, divorce, narcissism, life & career transitions, (co)parenting, and PTSD. I realize there is rarely one issue, and it takes courage to ask for help. I offer a warm, sincere and supportive environment to share, reflect, and experience positive growth from the issues you bring to counselling. I work with individuals, couples and families - helping them better cope, become happier, and more resilient. I have over 20 years of experience helping people share their struggles - to feel heard and understood.

I will help you become more aware of unhelpful patterns and provide tools to better manage and overcome stress and conflicts, build self-esteem, improve communication & intimacy, develop self-compassion & acceptance, find meaning & hope. I believe the process of healing, change and growth is about managing symptoms and also addressing root causes.

I hold a Master's degree from the University of Toronto and have more advanced training in couples and family therapy, pre-marital therapy, mindfulness therapies, EFT, EFFT, IFS, EMDR, Sexual Health, ACT, and more. I draw from a combination of methods to meet your needs and goals. I offer counselling online, by phone and in-person. www.ontariotherapist.com
