It's hard to be objective when you feel stuck. In psychotherapy, I help people take a step back. As a trauma therapist for 25 years, working in Toronto, I do counseling and therapy for people dealing with the results of painful relationships. I help people develop goals and make changes in their lives. Adults and adolescents see me when they're having conflicts in their important family relationships, when they've experienced trauma, loss, or divorce, when they have posttraumatic symptoms from interpersonal trauma, when they are in psychological distress at work, home, or school, and when they are struggling with an eating disorder or severe anxiety. You can see more by checking out Dr. Robert T. Muller's award-winning psychotherapy work: "Trauma and the Avoidant Client: Attachment-Based Strategies for Healing" (published in 2010 by W.W. Norton) and "Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up: From Avoidance to Recovery and Growth" (published in 2018 by W.W. Norton).

Personalized Therapist Matching We carefully match you with a therapist based on your unique situation, needs, and preferences. Your therapist will consider factors such as their expertise and therapeutic approach to ensure a good match. After the consultation, if you feel comfortable, you can proceed to schedule your therapy sessions. Beginning Your Therapy Once you decide to move forward, your therapy sessions will begin.

Experienced, caring and trained therapist who provides therapy that is evidence based and backed up by research to be effective for anxiety, depression, addiction, post postpartum, anger management, grief and loss and other areas of mental health. First and foremost I work from a person centred approach and incorporate narrative therapy, mindfulness and brief solution focused therapy. Telling our stories of grief, pain, love and triumph can release the grip they may have on us or build us up as we so deserve. I also utilize aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy throughout my sessions as our thought processes can strongly impact our story writing and how we interpret ours and other’s stories.

Let's talk about your relationships with yourself, your body, your family, friends, other loved ones, colleagues, your addiction, your stress, work, life purpose, nature, society, the earth, spirit, etc. All are welcome in the session. The more awareness that is developed around the nature of those relationships, the more conscious your choices and behaviours will be, and the more authentic you will become as a person. I believe this is essential for achieving optimal health. My practice involves one on one consultations in which we employ a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities, primarily psychodynamic and experiential in orientation, toward a greater understanding of oneself in the context of one's life.

In my experience, and according to research, the biggest factor in how well therapy works is the client-therapist relationship.

Instead, I will work with you to custom-fit a therapy experience based on your unique needs and expressed concerns.

I believe that we all carry all the answers to our life’s questions already within us. In my work as psychotherapist, counsellor, and teacher I strive to help you integrate your life experiences, emotions, and personal worldview. In the process you can re-connect to your own inner knowing and thus create an ever-increasing sense of belonging, direction and happiness within yourself. I have been working as a teacher, counsellor, and spiritual psychotherapist in private practice in Canada since the turn of the century. As a client-centred therapist I fully believe in the value of Carl Rogers’ approach to therapy. He held that as human beings we are constantly striving to self-actualize – i.e. to fulfill our potential and achieve the highest level of ‘human-beingness’ we can. He also felt that the path to this self-actualization is as individual as the person walking it. My focus in Soul-Spirit Integration as well as human based and human related spirituality means that I choose working modalities from transpersonal therapy, depth-psychology, Gestalt therapy, experiential therapy, and others, according to the needs of my clients. Methods can include talk therapy, body psychotherapy, chakra work, energy work, prayer, drawing and colour work, gestalt oriented pieces, aspects of voice dialoguing, guided imagery and meditation, dream work and much more. All these tools serve the same end: to help my clients gain deeper mastery of their own inborn power and wisdom. By integrating these different aspects of their lives and beginning to trust their own knowledge of Self, my clients once again create balance and harmony in their own lives. Recognizing the importance of relationships in our lives and growth processes, I offer a variety of possibilities to grow and reach for that highest level of ‘human-beingness’: - Individual Psychotherapy for adults of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. - Group Therapy for adults - Personal Growth and Development courses and workshops for adult My approach in all my endeavours is personal, non-denominational, non-judgmental, non-prescriptive, and deeply honouring of the individual I am working with. No tool works if it doesn't meet the needs of the client or doesn't engage the client; and thus my most important tool is my relationship with my clients. I offer a 1/2-hour free consultation for new clients so we can get to know each other and explore if this is a relationship we want to invest in and build on.

Then they will discover their purpose in life and be able to live every day to their fullest potential. Interestingly, clients have mentioned that they were pleasantly surprised how easy it was to open up in their very first session and get relief from their emotional pain. The empathy and sincerity they felt from me allowed them to feel safe to delve deeper within themselves, to places they had not been before. My practice is dedicated to emotional healing, which is based on a skillful blend of Eastern philosophies and Western counselling. It is always my goal to help my clients deal with their various issues, whether it is in an individual, couple or family setting to achieve their optimum emotional. I have practiced psychotherapy in the Netherlands, United States and Canada and speaks English, Spanish, Dutch and Sindhi MY PHILOSOPHY: The Eastern culture, philosophy and spirituality have always fascinated me and I, therefore, use a practical blend of ancient Eastern and contemporary Western wisdom tailored to my client's needs.
