I'm a therapist in Toronto and I believe that each individual is the expert in themselves, and as such, they enter into a relationship with the therapist to move forward toward wholeness. I also believe that most of what we experience is temporary as we look at the extent of our lives. I caution individuals not to make permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. Therapy is the process of understanding what has derailed the individual and actively move them back to a place of equilibrium.
After 25 years of practice, I bring knowledge, insight and numerous skills to my work with clients. Whether I'm treating trauma, or helping clients apply the insights offered by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, or utilizing the concepts of resilience to their experience, I am a fairly creative and utilize the client's creativity to help move them forward. By asking questions, offering perspectives, and suggesting ways to engage in the process beyond the confines of the session itself. My central role is to establish a caring and therapeutic relationship with each and every client. Contact me for a fifteen min. phone session.

My practice is built on the understanding that a safe and authentic space to express and get curious about ourselves is essential for our well-being and growth. Through conversation and curiosity, I am to help you deepen your understanding of yourself and your life, and carve out new pathways that lead to increased freedom, joy, and meaning. The process may be filled with hesitation, relief, laughs, silence, and tough but valuable realizations, and I feel grateful to be a witness and collaborator through it all.
Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.
Working with survivors of trauma or PTSD, I help people who have struggled with a painful past. In Toronto, practicing for over 25 years, I work with individuals and families struggling with interpersonal trauma or PTSD, difficult family relationships, or those in high distress from loss & grief, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, or emotional pain.
I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I know the challenges of wanting so desperately to change but being unable to do so. I also know the constant mind chatter that plagues people who want to improve their health but just can't seem to do so. As a therapist, I take these issues and challenges very seriously, and work with clients to successfully find ways to manage their weight and health.
I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!
Finally, I absolutely love what I do, and I hope it shows in every session that I have with my clients.
My therapy practice is dedicated to providing a compassionate and personolized approach to mental health, offering a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. What sets my practice apart is my commitment to truly understanding each client's unique experiences and challenges, allowing for tailored therapeutic strategies that foster genuine growth and healing. I firmly believe in the power of personal empowermnet, as reflected in Brene Brown's quote, "If you own this story you get to write the ending". Together, we can work towards owning your story and creating a positive, fulfilling future.
