Who I work with

How can individual therapy help?

I offer psychotherapy services to individual adults (18+) across Ontario who want to develop inner steadiness to help them weather the storms of life, heal from the pain of the past, and become more at home within themselves.

My specialities include:
  • Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)
  • Anxiety, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Perfectionism and people-pleasing
  • Existential concerns (questions of meaning, purpose, values) 
  • Chronic stress and burnout
  • Adult children of emotionally immature parents

Are any of these statements true for you? 

People often call me “too sensitive” because I feel things so deeply, and because I’m more affected by things - like transitions, or violent content on a show I’m watching - that other people seem totally unbothered by.

I feel like I’m at war with myself. I wish I could figure out how to be more at peace with myself and all of the different parts of me, but that seems impossible right now.

I experience anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias that hold me back from living the life I want to live.

I want to learn how to cherish and feel good about my sensitive traits versus seeing them as something that I need to change, deny, or disown.

I want to relax but allowing myself to feel calm is frightening, or at the very least, threatening.

I feel down and lethargic most of the time but no one would really know because I work hard to hide this from other people. I want to feel more alive again and have more hope again, but I don’t know how to get there.

I find it very easy to be gracious, kind, and compassionate with everyone around me, but inside I’m constantly beating myself up, sometimes over very minor things. 

Life is terribly confusing and overwhelming. I struggle with a lot of existential dread and I don’t know what to do with it.

I wish I could “turn off” my mind. I’m exhausted from all of the intrusive, distressing, and unwanted thoughts that run rampant through my mind every day.

I have a very loud and stubborn inner critic that just won’t give me a break.

We'll work well together

If any of the statements below describe what you're looking for, I'd love to set up a meeting:

You really want to go deep and get to the roots of what you’re struggling with, and you know that this will be hard work that will be uncomfortable at times, but you’re willing to bravely take it on anyhow. 

You’re tired of therapy influencers and/or Instagram therapists promising “quick fixes” for complex human problems that always seem to leave you feeling the same as you did before, but more frustrated, discouraged, and disillusioned. 

You’re committed to making changes for yourself and so that you can be an even better friend, partner, colleague, family member, or part of your community. 

You want to understand how all of your emotions/parts (even the dark, difficult, and dreadful ones) are important to who you are, and you want to build a better relationship with them. 

You’re looking for a therapist who understands, from personal experience, what it’s like to feel broken, won’t oversimplify what you’re going through, and will laugh with you at how absurd life can be.
