Find a Therapist in East York, Ontario.

Psychotherapy is a broader term to describe a number of treatment methods which can be used to help individuals with their mental health. Some of the treatments I utilize are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based (MCBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Culturally sensitive, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Narrative, Strength based, and Trauma Focused. The most common ailments that clients see me for are depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, abuse and self-esteem issues. Through my academic training and personal experience, I bring my clients a personal understanding of many of these issues.

In many cultures, seeking a mentor or counsellor at various times in your life, would be expected and respected. Yet in our culture, we still might feel discomfort about "needing" support from someone outside our family & friends. The people I see are courageous. They choose to use the resources available to improve their quality of life. It's a commitment to yourself and your loved ones that takes time, money and determination. Self-help books can be wonderfully helpful, but something unique and special happens when you meet the right person to bring the principles of unconditional positive regard as well as healing skills to meet you wherever you are.

With the fast pace and challenges of life, you do not have to face them alone. Sometimes you need a helping hand and a friendly ear to talk to. It's my passion to help people. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. I work with clients to improve their resiliency, and uncover their strengths using a client centered approach and different modalities to meet needs .

A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present. Especially helpful for untangling ‘baggage’ which may be holding you back in your current relationships and attitudes to others. Understanding how your current attitudes and ways of interacting with others are caught up in old hurts can free you to choose more constructive ways forward.

Are you searching for increased confidence, happiness, and improved relationships? Through a compassionate lens, I will support and challenge you to new ways of thinking about yourself and those around you. I will help you realize your full emotional potential so that you can connect with those around you on a deeper level, and benefit from the richness of living an authentic life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

Our approach to psychotherapy is rooted in the principles of EMPATHY & EVIDENCE.

In terms of therapeutic approaches, we employ elements of the following approaches: Narrative Therapy; Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Motivational Interviewing; and many other evidence-based approaches.

In life, we go through experiences that are very hard to talk about. We may not fully understand what happened to us or how to deal with it, or even express it. Therapy is a place to sort it out. It’s a space to increase understanding and grow skills and strength. It’s also an opportunity to make a connection to another human being and, through it, begin healing from the wounds that life has given us. I would like to be here for you on this inner journey and support you as you recover. I have dedicated my life to my own journey and helping others as well over the past 16 years. I encourage you to reach out and unburden yourself by sharing your story with someone who understands.

I provide a safe & non-judgmental environment for clients to open up on all issues, even deeply buried ones (from early childhood to present), so I can get a sense of the whole picture, ask the right questions, and come up with an effective treatment plan. I’ve successfully worked with many individuals & couples who others had given up on, since they weren’t able to go deep enough. This has allowed me to especially help people who are struggling with emotional or sexual trauma, incest, abuse, porn or sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues & taboos & fears which trap them in shame. I’ve also helped couples heal from deep wounds such as infidelity and build stronger relationships.

My approach to therapy produces powerful results and allows the individual to heal at a profound and deep level. By encouraging clients to be authentic, conscious and aware I provide fundamentals that support spiritual growth. Healing takes place when we address both our dark and our light sides. Building self-esteem and a healthy ego, establishing boundaries and getting our needs met are very important. I use 2 main modalities Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Psychotherapy is my passion and having said that I have always known people to feel exceptionally comfortable to share their life’s journey with me.

As opposed to many of the behaviourally-based (simple fix) treatments available today, psychotherapy involves going deeper. This might include looking at coping skills or patterns you developed as a child which, though they served you well then, may be getting in the way of your life now. Psychotherapy is less about learning tools, and more about developing insights about oneself and one's loved ones. While many therapies today focus on changing behaviour in the here and now, psychotherapy often involves looking at what may underlie emotional or relational patterns, such as having difficulty saying no, or struggling to trust others. It involves being more honest and authentic with oneself.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Psychotherapy supports you in reaching self-awareness. No matter what the circumstance, you have the ability to be resilient. I can help you manage your journey. I’m trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental models,and anxiety and depression management. I will support you in creating a set of tools to help you discover your objective. Most importantly, you're a distinctive person, with distinctive needs. My goal is to work with you as a unique individual, and focus on YOUR goals.

Meeting with a psychotherapist has one primary aim: to share ways of improving and sustaining one's mental health and wellbeing. It may include revisiting past experiences that were impactful; practicing skills and techniques in the present; or talking about ideas and strategies to use in the future. Sometimes, psychotherapy involves having an in-the-moment experience that brings about a profound change of perspective or a new emotional truth. Whichever direction your own psychotherapy takes, we know that the single biggest contributor to a positive counselling experience is your relationship with your therapist. I can help you find the best path forward for you. Reach out today to begin.

I suspect you are reading this because you are wanting to understand yourself more and because you know you have some healing to do! Perhaps a close friend or relative has lovingly suggested (or maybe not so lovingly?!) that you need to get working on your issues, the things that are interfering with you moving forward into more satisfying relationships with others, yourself and God. After almost 30 years of counselling individuals and families, I still count it a privilege to be able to help people make sense of their unique story and to find ways to grow and change and become the person they were meant to be! I would be delighted to help you!!

Psychotherapy is counselling process that delves into deeper and often hidden (subconscious) issues that influence our perceptions and beliefs. In turn this influences our behaviours. Often our patterns originate in our family of origin where we internalize beliefs about self and others. The collaborative process will help you understand your current reality and how to deal with it effectively. Negative beliefs translate into maladapted behaviours that cause distress and anxiety. I will guide you through this process to gain new insights and understanding and learn more effective coping with your current distress.

Whether you feel alone, lost, stressed, scared, overwhelmed, anxious, down, or are facing a difficult time, talk therapy can help. Psychotherapy includes a number of different types of practices, like behavioural focused sessions using CBT, ACT, MBCT or DBT, humanistic or client centred approaches. The specific type of therapy that works for you is something we discuss together, ensuring that you're gaining the most you can from your time in therapy.
