You Are Seen, Heard, and Valued Here
I became a therapist because I have walked this path myself. I know what it’s like to feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected. My personal journey—through therapy, self-help, retreats, and diverse healing practices—has taught me that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about listening to yourself, trusting your inner wisdom, and taking responsibility for your well-being with compassion.

Professional Experience
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.
I earned a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto (OISE) and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from McGill University, with a concentration in Gender, Sexuality, Feminist, and Social Justice Studies.
My approach is integrative, relational, trauma-informed, feminist, culturally sensitive, emotion-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based. I draw from specialized training in complex trauma and dissociation, internal family systems (IFS), attachment-focused therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), ego state therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I engage in ongoing clinical supervision to ensure ethical, evidence-based, and attuned care.
I recognize that personal struggles are deeply connected to both individual history and broader societal systems. I help clients reclaim self-understanding, build emotional resilience, and cultivate agency in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.
Yoga & Mindfulness Background
I discovered yoga in 2005 as a powerful tool for emotional regulation and self-awareness. In 2014, I became a certified yoga instructor (500+ hours) and taught yoga while training as a psychotherapist. This background continues to shape my work by helping clients develop embodied awareness, emotional regulation, and self-trust. I believe our bodies hold both the imprints of pain and the wisdom of resilience.
My Journey
As the grandchild of Polish Jews who escaped just before the Holocaust, I carry a legacy of resilience alongside the weight of intergenerational trauma. My early experiences, combined with personal challenges, shaped my struggles with self-esteem, anxiety, and belonging. I spent years searching for understanding—reading self-help books, attending retreats, and exploring various healing modalities.
Along this path, I’ve learned that growth isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about coming home to yourself. My work as a therapist is rooted in the idea of inner parenting: building self-trust, listening to your emotions, and nurturing yourself in a sustainable way.
I understand the courage it takes to face old wounds and the strength required to change longstanding patterns. Growth is a journey, not a destination, and I am here to help you navigate life’s ups and downs with compassion and ease.
Clinical Supervision
I also provide clinical supervision at Mindfulness for Life, where I mentor and support fellow therapists in deepening their clinical skills. If you are seeking supervision, I invite you to connect with me.
