Find a Therapist in Canada

I am a Registered Psychotherapist serving individuals, couples, and families in Ontario. Since starting my practice here in Ontario, I have been given the privilege of helping clients overcome their relationship struggles and move forward with their lives. I work collaboratively to set goals with clients, helping them resolve personal problems, conflict in the family, and more. My services are available in two languages: English and Russian. Apart from locals, I also serve immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, and other countries. I can offer a more personalized service since I know the culture, social processes, values, and traditions.  

Currently welcoming new clients in Ontario for virtual appointments! I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) currently working on completing my Master’s of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am supervised by Mary Earls, MA, RSW, RP who has skillfully provided psychotherapy for well over 30 years. I foster an individualized therapeutic environment where your unique strengths, challenges, values, goals, and life experiences are appreciated and honoured. I am passionate about providing a safe and non-judgemental space where you can expect to feel validated, heard, and understood.  

I believe therapy is a safe space to explore the thoughts, emotions, hopes, and challenges you experience, as well as the relationships and contextual factors impacting your life. I believe that as we deepen our understanding of ourselves, we are able to recognize the ways in which we are impacted by our experiences. This deepened awareness can help us be our most authentic selves and cultivate newfound meaning in our lives. I work with individuals, couples, families, and youth and offer a free consultation to see if I am the right therapist to support you through this journey.  

I believe that our healing begins with both safety and support. As a therapist, I strive to provide a nurturing environment where you can feel accepted and empowered to explore your stories and experiences. My journey towards becoming a psychotherapist began with my own mental health struggles relating to trauma and addiction. Those experiences of recovery and healing helped me discover the healing power of relationships. I work with individuals aged 14+ and couples and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure I am the proper fit for your journey.  

My mottos are : "Be the cycle-breaking hero of your family lineage! The buck stops with you. Stop Dimming Your Light AND start disrupting multigenerational family patterns" I have created a unique blend of traditional talk therapy and eastern based modalities that work with the mind, the body and the soul which I call Holistic Psychotherapy. In addition to verbal unpacking of the core issues, I use neural science, visualization and intention to rewire the mind and belief systems that a person may have learned as survival tools in childhood, that no longer work for them in their adult lives and relationships. The work powerfully affects permanent and long-lasting change in an adult individuals, couples and/or adult families. My main focus is to disrupt multi generational dysfunction.  

We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy. We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences. We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures. We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities. Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

We work collaboratively with our clients to achieve their goals for therapy, life and their careers. We change the world by supporting the people who change the world.  

Therapy is a place for you to be uniquely you. Past experiences, expectations, and challenges in thinking, behaviours, or emotions can make authenticity challenging. During our sessions, we create a space that offers opportunity to explore your life and its nuances, coming to a greater understanding of the challenges impacting life satisfaction and techniques to enhance the way you interact with reality. Life is short, learn how to live it according to your values, intentions, and desires.

Throughout my journey, I have always been curious about people and how they relate to one another. My approach as a therapist is centered in transparency, authenticity, and directiveness. I work with individuals, couples, and youth aged 16+ and offer a free consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.  

I work with clients that are overwhelmed and feeling like they aren't 'good enough.' You are trying to live up to the expectations others and feel like you aren't meeting those expectations. I can help you with feeling overwhelmed and find a sense of belonging. *Call me for a Free 15 minute Consultation*  

My goal in counselling is to help you to find what's missing in your life. Perhaps it is issues with identity, or ongoing conflicts in relationships, or a feeling of "stuckness." Mutual respect and trust are vital components to our work together. I offer a unique setting where we can work through the topics you bring in a non-judgmental way.  

Overcoming life's challenges alone can be incredibly difficult. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the pressure to please people, or the exhausting pursuit of perfection, know that you are not alone. I offer a safe space where we can work together to explore strategies and tools for navigating life's challenges. We will build on your areas of strength and resiliency, while acquiring new skills that can help you cope more successfully. I am excited to embark on this journey together, as we all have the potential to reach our goals when given the right tools and support.  

Whatever the reasons that brings you here, I believe that the ups and downs of life provide opportunities (and sometimes hidden blessings) to learn about ourselves and life in general. You will learn how to restore within yourself a sense of balance and well-being, and to cultivate a renewed awareness and sense of presence in your life. After a thorough assessment, we'll begin to work on the issues that are most important to you. You'll develop insight into how past experiences and thinking processes may be continuing to influence your well-being and to identify the issues that are most troublesome. You will also be guided through the process of clarifying your values, passions, strengths and resources so that they can be drawn upon to mobilize you in a positive direction. With over 24 years of experience, you can have peace of mind that I am a very caring, non-judgmental, compassionate and skilled therapist. I offer a complimentary 15-minute telephone consultation to see if it's a good 'fit' and a good vibe so feel free to reach out. Feel free to ask me about my Therapy Intensives as well!
