Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples Across Ontario
I offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples navigating a range of emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship conflict, and major life changes. My approach is holistic and client-centered, drawing on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), The Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices. I work with clients ages 16 and up, providing a supportive space to explore healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Individual Psychotherapy
Who Would Benefit from Individual Psychotherapy?
I work with anyone aged 16 and older who is seeking support, clarity, or healing in their life. You may be experiencing anxiety, stress, or depression; feeling stuck in your decision-making; questioning your direction or purpose; or struggling with self-worth. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. In fact, therapy can be a space to better understand yourself, develop resilience, and make meaningful changes in your life, no matter what age or stage of life you are in.
What Can We Work on Together?
In our work together, we can explore a number of areas once we determine what your needs and goals are. For example, we can explore what truly matters to you by clarifying your core values and learning about what motivates you using skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We can use mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice and shift unhelpful patterns in how you relate to yourself and your thoughts. We can also engage in parts work, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), to gently explore the different "parts" of you that may be in conflict, such as the inner critic, the people-pleaser, or the part that feels stuck. By understanding and compassionately connecting with these parts, we can begin to release limiting beliefs and integrate more empowered, authentic versions of yourself. Therapy is a collaborative space where we move at your pace, building insight, connection, and meaningful change over time.
Couples Therapy
Who Would Benefit from Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is for any two people in a committed relationship—married or not—who want to improve their connection, communication, and overall sense of partnership. You may feel like you’re no longer on the same team and want to return to each other to face life’s challenges together. Maybe you find yourselves stuck in the same arguments or patterns over and over again, or you struggle with constant communication breakdowns and feel distant, unheard, or misunderstood. Whether you're in crisis or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, couples therapy can help you reconnect and set shared goals for a more harmonious and fulfilling partnership.
What Can We Work on Together?
In our work together, we’ll focus on learning how to communicate more effectively and compassionately, especially during conflict. We’ll explore how to understand and respond to each other’s emotional needs, and how to navigate recurring or “perpetual” problems in a way that fosters respect and mutual understanding, rather than defensiveness or withdrawal. Drawing on my Level 1 Training in the Gottman Method, I integrate evidence-based techniques such as: ♡ Building and maintaining Love Maps (deep knowledge of your partner’s inner world) ♡ Strengthening fondness and admiration ♡ Turning toward each other instead of away during small and large moments ♡ Managing conflict through soft startups and repair attempts ♡ Creating shared meaning and rituals of connection These tools can help couples return to a foundation of curiosity, connection, and playfulness, and rebuild emotional safety and trust. Together, we’ll create a space to better understand each other, shift out of old dynamics, and develop the skills needed to support a resilient, emotionally connected relationship. If you and your partner are ready to reconnect and grow together, I invite you to reach out.
