I am a Registered Social Worker offering individual psychotherapy in central Toronto. I take a client-centered approach to psychotherapy. I will also act as witness to your strengths and struggles, learn what you want and need from the psychotherapeutic process, and support you to work toward those goals.

have over four years of experience practising psychotherapy and I studied psychology for over 10 years. I have taken a special interest in Somatic Therapy, which adopts a unique view of the factors that generate stress, as well as the factors that need to be present in one’s life in order to decrease, manage, and relieve stress. My approach is to focus on the underlying painful emotions that often result in symptoms of anxiety, defence responses, and repetitive patterns. Feeling those emotions fully will tell the nervous system that it no longer needs to signal the alarm bells in the brain. As a result, people tend to be calmer and more collected in otherwise triggering situations. I start by helping you identify your triggers and anxiety symptoms, which are at the root of every mental-health issue and an obstacle to well-being. I also introduce Somatic relaxation techniques that induce a strong relaxation response in the body.
