I have dedicated my psychotherapy practice to supporting individuals in navigating challenging life circumstances. Do you wish to process and heal trauma lingering from your childhood or your past? Perhaps you hope to build a healthier, more compassionate, and accepting, relationship with yourself. A supportive, validating, and empathetic therapist can help you navigate deep-seated issues connected to unworthiness, "never good enough", shame, guilt, perfectionism, or self-doubt. I also support individuals with anxiety, depression, chronic pain/illness, relationships, anger, and grief. I have extensive experience working with trauma.
I completed my master's degree in counseling psychology at the University of Toronto and have worked in the mental health field for 10+ years. I draw from modalities such as Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness and Compassion Therapies, Body-based (somatic) Trauma Therapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
With my client-centered, eclectic, strengths-based therapy approach, I help my clients cultivate mindful self-awareness, self-compassion, coping skills, and improved emotional regulation. I value anti-oppressive and culturally sensitive therapy. I will tailor my treatment approaches to fit your needs. Please feel free to request a complimentary consultation.
