Find a Therapist in Etobicoke, Ontario.

As a therapist, my role is to offer support and guidance to people seeking insight into the roots of their attitudes and behavioral patterns. My goal is to help clients use this knowledge to reclaim agency and power over these patterns to effectively change unproductive thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour patterns. I create a safe and none-judgemental space for individuals, couples, families, children (5-12), and teens to comfortably process and resolve the issues that keep them stuck and immobile. To this end, I employ a range of therapeutic techniques such as: CBT, Mindfulness, Guided Imagery, Trauma Techniques, and Attachment based approaches.

Psychotherapy is commonly known as talk therapy. The main goal with psychotherapy is to help individuals with their mental health. Psychotherapists practice from a variety of evidence-based modalities. Together, we will determine your goals and decide which approach to take. Please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation where we can explore your presenting concern, determine if we are a good fit for therapy and I can answer any questions that you may have.

You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now. We will work with your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors in a manner that is unique.

Psychotherapy is fundamental in overcoming mood disorders and psychosis, providing the tools to manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, integrating CBT, DBT, Interpersonal Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients develop coping strategies, challenge negative thought patterns, and regain stability. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore emotions, strengthen self-awareness, and work toward lasting personal growth and recovery.

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.

My approach involves drawing on various modalities (e.g., dialogic, narrative, solution-focused, emotion-focused) that fit the unique needs of clients. I hope to create an environment for clients where they feel a sense of safety to express their reflections, thoughts, and concerns. I take on a non-judgmental, non-expert stance and firmly believe that clients have everything that they need already within them- my role is to simply remind you of who you are or to help you discover who you would like to be through supportive, therapeutic conversations. If you are interested in learning more about my approach and to see if we would be a good fit, please contact me for a free consultation.

Therapy is about the exploration of how we are impacted by our life experiences. It allows us to discover different choices and strategies to resolve the difficulties that keep us stuck. Therapy will provide you with an opportunity to express your concerns in a safe and non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard, and be acknowledged, for who you really are. Together we will discuss what you may want to achieve through the therapy process. With a commitment to therapy, over time you will see change occur. I take an integrative approach to therapy combining psychoanalytic, attachment based and trauma focused therapies.

Many of us struggle with depression, anxiety, loss, relationship troubles, stress, self-esteem, substance abuse or other issues. Psychotherapy can help work through such problems to develop healthier, more effective habits. My approach includes cognitive-behavioural, and insight oriented therapies. I provide a supportive environment that allows to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral and non-judgmental. We will work together to identify and change the thought and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best. You will not only have solved the problems that brought you in, but you will have learned new skills so you can better cope with any future challenges.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

In a safe manner, we will discuss the goals of therapy and identify the challenges that you are facing. Through therapy, we rebuild self-esteem and self-confidence and empower you to create positive and meaningful change. Areas of specializations include anxiety, depression, anger management, family conflict and self-esteem. This works well with individual and couples counselling.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My approach does not focus on discussing what may be wrong with you, but rather explore your experiences, your strengths, and collectively search for a balance in your life through psychotherapeutic interventions and psychoeducation. If you do not know why you have come to this page but you feel something may be off, please connect. Together we will work on better understanding you. My goal is for my nonjudgmental and inclusive approach to collaborate with you to best meet your needs and life goals through strength-based narrative, solution-focused, emotion-focused, and cognitive-behavioural modalities.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

Psychotherapy provides us with an opportunity to use an integrative approach to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions. I work collaboratively with my clients to reach their therapeutic goals within an empathetic and supportive dynamic. Whether your goals are for you as an individual or as part of a couple, psychotherapy provides the opportunity for personal growth and empowerment to experience the life you desire.
