You Are Seen, Heard, and Valued Here.

From a young age, I have been captivated by stories of resilience, drawing inspiration from fantasy, myth, spirituality, and the natural world. These passions have fueled a lifelong devotion to exploring pathways of healing and recovery. As a cis, white, Jewish, queer woman, I bring a unique perspective to my work, enriched by a blend of personal experiences and a deep commitment to inclusivity and empowerment.

Holistic Approach

My work in psychotherapy is deeply influenced by my own journey through mental health challenges and my engagement with various forms of healing and recovery, including yoga, meditation, spirituality, and personal therapy. This personal experience has granted me profound empathy for others facing similar struggles, reinforcing my belief in the transformative power of recovery work.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the interconnectedness of our well-being with the systems and environments we inhabit. I understand that issues such as mental health, addictions, and trauma thrive in conditions of shame and isolation, while recovery blossoms in environments of connection, acceptance, and right relationship. This approach not only addresses symptoms but fosters a sustainable, fulfilling path to wellness.

As a certified yoga teacher and practitioner since 2005, my therapeutic practice integrates these disciplines, enhancing my ability to offer grounded, centered care.

Specialized Focus on Relationships and Trauma

I specialize in addressing trauma histories and enhancing interpersonal relationships through therapy. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals grappling with communication challenges, boundary issues, interpersonal struggles, and codependency, as well as navigating painful relational histories that may contribute to low self-esteem, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Continually inspired by the resilience of my clients, I am committed to helping them manage and rise above these challenges, enabling them to cultivate lives enriched with meaning, fulfillment, purpose, connection, and love.

Professional Background

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. My academic background includes a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from OISE at the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Gender, Sexuality, Feminist and Social Justice Studies from McGill University.

I have specialized training in Complex Trauma and Dissociation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Ego State Therapy. My commitment to ongoing professional development is supported through bi-weekly clinical consultation and regularly attending trainings to maintain and upgrade my skills.
