My approach is eclectic, meaning that I draw on a number of evidence based therapies, tailoring treatment to the individual and their concerns. My therapeutic style is a unique integration of Relational Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Mindful Self-Compassion. I have additional training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and meditation.
Since 2015 I have been working in private practice. I also worked at The University of Toronto Scarborough for almost a decade, where I provided individual and group therapy to young adults with many complex clinical issues as well as intersecting diverse identities.
I work with a variety of concerns, including:
Anxiety
Depression
Self Esteem/Self Concept
Family Conflict
Relationships
Identity
Life Transitions
Grief
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours (Compulsive Hair Pulling and Skin Picking)
I completed my graduate training in psychotherapy at The University of Toronto, where I received a Master’s in Counselling Psychology. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts from McGill University (Asian Religions), and a Master of Arts from New York University (Education).
