Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Human Development Counselling
I have been practicing Psychotherapy both privately and through a Children's Mental Health Agency for approximately 20 years. I have had the distinct pleasure to work with some truly amazing clients, who have collectively taught me about life, love, struggle, and resilience. The foundation of my Clinical Practice is Emotionally Focused Therapy-a well researched, evidence based model which is built on the universal desire for connection, belonging and security.

I offer a safe space to open up in your vulnerability with your fears, grief, heartaches or feeling stuck. Whether you have anxiety, depression or relationship issues, I can support you through healing, re-organization and resolution. I am a warm-hearted soul guide and body-oriented psychotherapist that integrates your body, mind and soul connections. I offer deep, core healing work that works with how your consciousness can shift from your mind to your heart, to your gut instincts and throughout your holistic soul self. I create a non-judgmental environment that is LGBTQ and all-races friendly. You can find out more about me on my website www.buildingsoul.ca
At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.
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.
I have been practicing psychotherapy and multicultural counselling for 19 years focusing on individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, grief/bereavement and other emotional, psychological and physical ailments.
Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
We all have the capacity to manage what comes our way, but sometimes it can feel like too much to carry on our own. Have you experienced a trauma that continues to bother you, impacts your relationships, career, or the ability to do the things you love? Do you feel anxious, depressed, stressed or overwhelmed most days? I want to help you feel more in control of your emotions so you are better able to navigate your day-to-day. Whether that means unravelling experiences of the past to make better sense of them or focusing on the here and now, we can do it together. Your emotions don't have to rob you of living a meaningful life.
Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, trapped in cycles of unhealthy behaviours, or the impacts of past trauma? Do your emotions lead you to engage in patterns you wish you could break? I can understand these feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and what seems to be uncontrollable, and I'm here to make them easier. If you are looking for clarity on why you feel this way and want to regain a sense of control or stability, now might be the time to reach out to a therapist who can help. Understanding your emotional and behavioural patterns is the first step toward change, and I am here to guide you through this process.
With over 7 years specializing in anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma, I have developed an understanding of how these issues can intertwine and complicate one's life. Together, we will explore the roots of your struggles, providing you with the knowledge and strategies to not only cope but thrive. Whether it's managing emotions, overcoming addictive behaviours, or healing from emotional pain, my goal is to empower you with the awareness and resources to move forward confidently. Reach out to discuss how I can support you.
I am here to guide you through any obstacles you may currently be facing. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply, to better cope with change...and quite possibly, to help you find the solution that bridges the gap between where you find yourself right now and where you wish to be.
*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT'S* I am so glad you are here and putting forth your needs first or maybe you are here because your friend or family member needs support or you are just tired of feeling this ‘Numb’ feeling and you want some answers as to “Why are you feeling this way? or asking yourself “Why don’t I feel happy or sad anymore?”, “Why am I like this?”, What is wrong with me? If I have made you question yourself right now then you are in the right place with the right person. As your therapist, I will help you explore all these feelings.
It would be an honour to support you through all of life's challenges with the attention and care you deserve. I provide non-judgmental listening while offering a safe space to share and reflect. Whether you are facing difficult life transitions, struggling with anxiety, or simply seeking greater clarity and fulfillment, I am here to support you in navigating the journey.
