Find a Therapist in North York, Ontario.

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.

The foundation of therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship where people can feel safe to explore themselves and the world around them. Each person comes to therapy with a unique story and as a therapist, I believe in providing a treatment experience that is as unique as the individual themselves. I provide therapy using a strengths-based and collaborative lens and foster healing through connection and empowerment. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Psychotherapy has been found to be an effective form of aiding in your health & well-being. My goal is to help you to optimize your overall health as mental/emotional/spiritual wellness plays a key role in your physical well-being. I believe that the difficulties and challenges that you are struggling with are a normal and understandable reaction to damaging circumstances that you have been through. With my guidance and support I encourage you to explore these areas in your life that have been influenced and tap into your unique and innocent talents and strengths to work to overcome the harmful effects of those circumstances. I draw on a variety of approaches to meet your unique needs.

I am doing online therapy to provide psychotherapy to my clients. Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help people to improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. Thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours can adversdly affect our day-to-day lives, we can lose the ability to enjoy life or relationships. Psychotherapy can help to bring positive changes into out thinking, feeling and behaviour.

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 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.

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.

Psychotherapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on deep, long-term change by exploring the root causes of emotional and psychological issues. Unlike general therapy, which may address immediate concerns or offer practical advice, psychotherapy delves into the complexities of your past experiences and patterns. My approach aims to foster profound personal growth and lasting healing by understanding and transforming the underlying factors affecting your well-being. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I offer a transformative approach to explore and address the root causes of your challenges. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

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.

Whether you are struggling with your sense of self, life goals, emotional spirals, or past trauma, psychotherapy can support you towards building the life you've dreamed of. I work with my clients to understand the cultural background, life experiences, and learning styles so that our work together is the best fit possible for them. Improving mood, decision-making skills, and overall well-being are only a few possible outcomes from psychotherapy together, but all possibilities can support you in finding a compassionate and caring space to become an even better version of yourself. We can't wait to meet you and see how we can help!
