getting started

what to expect

I believe that each one of us is the sum of our lived experiences.

We learn to adapt to our environment using all of our creative abilities in order to survive and thrive as best we can.

Somewhere along the way, we may adopt ways of being in the world that leave us feeling disconnected from our daily activities and relationships.

Therapeutic modalities such as Gestalt therapy and embodied work can offer opportunities to build awareness around your interior experience and relationships with others.

Paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions, sessions might include a range of experiential interventions such as role-play, drawing, sound, movement, as well as using bodily sensation as a way to ground you in the present moment and support your growth.  

Therapy can often lead to insights that may at times be at the edge of your comfort zone.  As you move through new experiences, I will support you at all times by offering reflections, observations, and insights, bringing your attention to emerging thought/behaviour patterns that may be interfering with your relationships and daily life. 

Building your tolerance and capacity for discomfort is an important part of personal growth.  How you grow and change through this work is dependent on many factors; there are no guaranteed or fixed outcomes.

I am currently offering both in-person and virtual therapy sessions in East York, Toronto, Ontario.

Monday - Thursday 10:00am - 8:00pm

I’m also offering Outdoor Therapy sessions. To learn more, click here.

The relationship between therapist and client is a key ingredient to the effectiveness of therapy. 

I offer a complimentary 30min online consultation so that we can talk about about what brings you to therapy, and so that we can both sense whether what I have to offer will be the best support for you right now.
