Whether you&#8217;re looking to find new meaning in your experiences, reduce the impact of life\u2019s challenges, build self-confidence, manage change, or break free from repetitive patterns, my psychotherapy services are designed to support positive change and enhanced well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Me<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from McGill University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto. My extensive training and experience inform my practice. Currently, I offer counseling to survivors of abuse and violence at a Toronto community agency and have previously worked with trauma survivors and youth in inpatient psychiatric settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Specializations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Identity and Self-Esteem<\/strong>: Using a narrative approach, I help clients explore and redefine their self-concept. This method addresses stuck self-perceptions and aims to enhance self-esteem through skill development, values, and personal growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trauma, Violence, and Abuse<\/strong>: My trauma-informed approach supports survivors in managing the effects of trauma such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I assist clients in finding new meaning from past experiences and transitioning from victimhood to empowerment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difficult Emotions<\/strong>: I help clients understand and manage emotions like anxiety, sadness, and anger through a non-judgmental and curious approach. This helps in reducing the negative impacts of these emotions and better understanding their role in your life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Life Conflict<\/strong>: Whether you&#8217;re facing life transitions, relationship issues, or family conflict, I provide support for navigating these challenges. My experience includes helping individuals through separation\/divorce, family struggles, and building fulfilling relationships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Self-Compassion<\/strong>: I integrate mindfulness practices and self-compassion techniques to support emotional regulation and therapeutic goals. Techniques include guided meditations and mindfulness exercises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discrimination and Oppression<\/strong>: I acknowledge the impact of societal issues on mental health and well-being. My anti-oppressive framework addresses how power, privilege, and systemic discrimination affect our lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Therapeutic Approaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Narrative Therapy<\/strong>: This collaborative, strengths-based approach helps clients reframe their self-narratives to improve mental well-being by examining and rewriting problematic stories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)<\/strong>: CBT focuses on altering unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to improve emotional and behavioral responses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Somatic Regulation<\/strong>: By incorporating body awareness and regulation techniques, we address physical responses to emotions and enhance emotional stability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Psychoeducation<\/strong>: I provide evidence-based information on topics like trauma, attachment styles, stress management, and anxiety to support understanding and personal growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mindfulness and Self-Compassion<\/strong>: These practices foster emotional awareness, reduce the impact of difficult thoughts, and promote self-acceptance during challenging times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intersectional Feminist and Anti-Oppressive Framework<\/strong>: This approach examines how intersecting aspects of identity impact experiences of privilege and oppression, aiming to minimize discrimination and support mental well-being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>","protected":false},"author":898,"featured_media":0,"template":"","listing-category":[396],"list-tags":[],"location":[387],"listing-country":[785],"class_list":["post-34552","listing","type-listing","status-publish","hentry","listing-category-mental-health","location-toronto-on","listing-country-canada"],"cubewp_post_meta":[],"taxonomies":["Mental Health &amp; Therapies","Toronto, ON","Canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing\/34552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"listing-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing-category?post=34552"},{"taxonomy":"list-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/list-tags?post=34552"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=34552"},{"taxonomy":"listing-country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nomorewaitlists.net\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing-country?post=34552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
