My Approach to Psychotherapy

I draw upon a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each person. These include aspects of emotions-focused and narrative therapies, cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as family systems and psychodynamic considerations. I believe we must recognize the intersectional social and cultural factors that influence our daily lives and may impact our mental health. I also offer spiritually-integrative therapy that draws on existential and logotherapies to explore sources of identity, meaning, purpose, connection, hope, and authority in each person’s life. My intention is to be pragmatic and solution-focused whenever possible and to be focused upon empowering clients clients and supporting them in claiming their own power to grow and heal.

I have particular experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, professors, arts and cultural creators, political activists as these are communities I have and continue to be a part of myself. I also have experience working with providing psychotherapy and spiritual care at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Humber River Hospital, Baycrest Hospital, and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

Together we will explore the causes and conditions of your struggles including self-esteem and identity, personal/professional relationships, traumas and related triggers, grief and bereavement, depression and anxiety, and moral or ethical distress. Just as importantly, we will collaborate in discovering your unique sources of meaning, purpose, hope & resilience.

I would be honoured to accompany and support you as you move forward on your path of self-discovery, self-awareness, self-care, and self-love.

Please do reach out and I would be happy to schedule a free 15 minute consultation for us to explore if working together is a good mutual fit.
