You may be experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, depression, or mood disorders. Come into the session and bring in all relevant issues, and all that is important and meaningful to you.

As a therapist, we will work together in a secure space that will allow you to gradually connect to vulnerable feelings or memories only when it feels safe. Together, we will decide when it feels safe enough to work with painful emotions or memories that get activated and come to the surface.

The way that I practice psychotherapy is by being open, emotionally engaged, compassionate, and non-judgmental.
I am empathic and have a capacity for deep listening.

I like the metaphor of learning to dance together. I see the therapeutic relationship as a dance—following your lead and maybe at times, if you choose, I will be comfortable leading.

I believe the most valuable contribution is having been involved for many years in my own therapy process. I have developed a great capacity to open and attune myself with my clients. Additionally, I have extensive psychotherapy training in different modalities, including a lifetime of practicing and teaching mindfulness practice.

Prior to psychotherapy, I was in business, owning and running salon spas in the UK and Canada. I developed a great interest in listening and speaking to people, which has helped me enormously as a practicing psychotherapist.

My education includes studies at the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), extensive training and workshops, and meditation retreats in India, Costa Rica, the UK, the US, and Canada.

I lead mindfulness groups on a regular basis in Toronto, Mexico, and online.

As a therapist, I am involved and active in the therapy community and regularly interact with other psychotherapists. In addition, I keep current by continuing to attend trainings, workshops, and supervision; this enables me to provide the best therapy for you.

I work extensively with individuals and couples.

Please contact me if you would like to schedule a session or a 20-minute no-fee consultation.
