I’m a Registered Psychotherapist based in Toronto, working with individuals navigating life transitions, emotional intensity, ADHD, and experiences of cultural in-betweenness. Many of my clients are highly sensitive, creative, or introspective, people who feel deeply and think deeply, but sometimes struggle to find calm, balance, or direction amid it all. My approach integrates Polyvagal-informed therapy, somatic awareness, expressive arts, and parts work, within a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive framework. I help clients tune into their nervous system as a source of wisdom, learning how to recognize and regulate states of stress, safety, and connection. Sessions blend reflection, body-based grounding, and creative exploration to foster emotional resilience, clarity, and self-trust. My goal is to help you not just understand your inner world, but build a more compassionate and embodied relationship with it, where growth feels safe, and healing becomes a creative, lived process.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Yorkville University, an Honours Bachelor in Psychology from York University, and a Diploma in Social Service Work from George Brown College. I have served for over 10 years in community, educational, and clinical settings, primarily supporting the neurodivergent community, including individuals with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

I also support people who experience heightened emotional sensitivity, including rejection sensitivity often associated with ADHD (RSD), and I am affirming of LGBTQ+ individuals and those exploring identity and belonging.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in Ontario, Canada, with training and experience across community mental health, hospital, and private practice settings, with a strong emphasis on comprehensive psychological assessment. I specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of adult mental health conditions, including anxiety and related disorders, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and personality-related difficulties. I have extensive experience conducting evidence-based assessments using clinical interviews, standardized measures, and functional evaluations to inform diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, and medico-legal decision-making (e.g., WSIB and MVA contexts). In addition to assessment, I provide evidence-based interventions using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and third-wave approaches such as ACT, DBT, and MCT. My work is grounded in scientific evidence and a collaborative, client-centered approach.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working in private practice. My prime concern is to create a safe and committed setting for clients to participate in their own change. I am particularly interested to bring about this change in young individuals who are making the transition into adult life, who are not equipped to face the challenges and trials of a complex world, and to navigate them through personal and social anxieties. I have 30 years of experience working with youth education and providing mentorship for their mental and emotional health. This is based on building a sense of trust and confidentiality much needed by young adults as their backbone of relational experience in the therapeutic setting. I am also a psychodynamic organizational therapist and a full member of APPCIOS with an interest to work in educational organizations such as childcare, schools, and universities, offering counseling in organizational settings.
