We provide psychotherapy services to help support individuals, couples and families rediscover themselves amidst challenges, find inner resilience and facilitate a journey so that people can show up as their authentic selves to lead lives of chosen purpose, fulfillment and compassion.
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with a doctoral degree in psychology. I am licensed (#6854) by the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Additionally, I am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association. I provide psychological services to the adult client population in-person as well as online through Owlpractice, a virtual platform for providing care virtually.
I follow an integrative treatment approach including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Intervention includes evidence-based treatment plans and empirically proven techniques. The focus of the treatment is on empowering the client with an adaptive thinking style and more effective coping skills to deal with symptoms and the surrounding environment. The goal of the treatment is to the enhancement of well-being and improve experience of overall quality of life.
I value my clients with their individual strengths and struggles. I actively engage with clients to reflect on their successes and challenges and rebuild their belief in their strengths and expand them further. I value a multicultural perspective and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds. The initial session is generally an intake assessment dedicated to understanding the case history/life story and for the purpose of diagnosis of the problem. Subsequently, treatment goals are collaboratively determined, and a treatment plan is tailored considering specific life situations, struggles, stressors, and personal strengths of the client.
Therapy can be the stepping stone one needs to get over life hurdles. I meet clients where they are at and encourage each individual to get curious with their lives. Dig up the patterns and beliefs that are no longer working for them and decide what to do about it. I work with all people who present with many different issues . Let's set up a free consultation and go from there.
Life can be tough but so are you. I am here to help you recognize your resilience and create meaningful change for your mental health and to support you through life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is person-centred and collaborative, integrating different techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, as well as Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I am passionate about empowering others and helping individuals find strength and flexibility. I hope to be able to support you through life’s challenges.
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.

Tailored treatment plans for individuals and couples facing sex addictions. I specialize in healing affairs, sexual trauma, porn addiction, love addiction, and sex crimes. My approach supports not only those facing these challenges but also their partners and families who may be feeling confused and hurt.
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.
I am an experienced registered social work now focusing on individual therapy with adults using EMDR and Gestalt therapy. My primary area of focus is resolving past childhood/adolescent trauma and supporting those in later stage recovery from substance abuse or addictions. I am deeply committed to my work and am continuously humbled by the nature of healing. I have learned to trust that each individual has a unique process and I'm dedicated to creating space for self-discovery and new beginnings.
I believe therapy to be that unique safer space we bravely step into that provides us with a secure frame for receiving support, processing difficult experiences, creating change or improvement where desired, and buttressing our resilience moving through an often unpredictable and sometimes unrelenting world.
My approach is relational and experiential. I consider our therapeutic relationship to be a the centre of our work together. Through building trust and a safe space, we will be able to explore more deeply the areas in your life that are causing suffering. I believe there is a strength in our ability to be vulnerable and to feel deeply. Together we will work with the feelings that may be stuck or hidden, and how to integrate them as part of your whole human experience.
