Do you sometimes sit in meetings afraid that everyone can see that you’re a fraud? You sweat profusely at the thought of approaching others? Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your identity after major changes or transitions? Life doesn’t come with a user manual. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming or confusing to make sense of the anxiety and stress that overtake our mind. Major changes that happen to us, including immigration, job loss, parenthood, unanticipated caregiving or losing a loved one can sometimes lead us to feel lost or stuck in place. Contemplating a life we want for ...

We all struggle at times, even if it doesn’t show. Are you facing a stressful transition? Does a longstanding issue demand your attention? Do you wonder why you repeatedly find yourself in variations of the same situation or dynamic? When we make the pivotal decision to pay attention to what holds us back, new pathways become possible. Maybe you already have the support of friends or loved ones. That can help. But psychotherapists are trained to support you with an ear attuned to patterns, while being mindful of our own biases. We offer a unique perspective because we are not directly ...

Toronto, ON

I work best with people asking some variation of the following questions:What am I doing with my life? How did I get here? Why is this happening to me? Is this it? What the hell is going on? – all honest questions and great starting points for developing more depth, meaning and purpose in your life.I have a ton of experience in working with those who’ve “lost the plot” of their existence in that they are trying to figure out how to steer themselves and their lives in a direction that works better for them.There are so many reasons why we might feel disoriented and lose direction, but major ...

My practice employs both counteractive change models, step approaches, as well as models of change and growth that focus on transformational change. We bring in all levels of the brain, the early brain (sometimes called the reptilian brain), the limbic system, and the neocortex. Our sense of ourselves derives from the levels of the body, emotion and cognition and I work intergratively on all three levels including the transpersonal level. We look at symptoms but realize them as nested within the whole person's larger and deeper implicit framework. We might start with assessing symptoms, but ...

Sometimes life gets hard. We can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, overburdened, stuck in a rut, or consumed by worry. In these times, we may not like our behaviours; any efforts to help ourselves can seem futile or even make matters worse; we end up feeling isolated and alone in our struggles (even when surrounded by people).It may not feel like it right now, but change is possible – therapy can help. As registered psychotherapists we are trained to listen differently; seeking to understand unconscious processes that (while well-intentioned) may be getting in the way of the life we wish to ...


“Human beings have an inbuilt propensity toward self-realization. If obstacles are removed, the individual will develop into a mature, fully realized adult, just as an acorn will develop into an oak tree.“ (Irvin D. Yalom, The Gift of Therapy)I share Yalom’s conviction, that as human beings we have a natural propensity towards health and self-realization.Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey we take together, at a pace that is comfortable for you.What makes psychotherapy a unique form of conversation is that the therapist is skilled in being fully present, listening deeply and with empathy ...

Rossburn, MB

I'm a Psychotherapist, an artist, and a meditator. My approach to therapy is intuitive and compassionate. Sessions with me can go deep, tread gently, and even be fun. Whether we struggle with anxiety or body dysmorphia, grief or trauma, shifts and changes can begin to emerge within us when we meet our suffering with openness and compassion. In my experience – both with my clients and with my own healing – there is a profound relief in the ‘letting go’ that comes when we reconnect to the parts of ourselves we have pushed away or ignored. This reconnecting allows us to move forward with a ...

Usually when people seek therapy, all of the smouldering struggles that are part of modern life have heated up and boiled over, sometimes bringing on a heath crisis, a relationship crisis, a career crisis, a spiritual crisis. Depression. Anxiety. Loneliness. Fear. Frustration. Blocked creativity, low self esteem. This intensity can either accelerate resilience and growth, or it can destablize your life and sense of well being. Or both! We all developed coping strategies and defense mechanisms in our early life, and these unconsciously shape our present life and affect our world view and ...

Toronto, ON

I find that psychotherapy can help when: a life issue causes heartache, you want to improve yourself in some way, or life has become unbearable as it is. Meaningful progress will come from the relationship we will develop, including a sense of being understood as a unique individual. Feeling accepted for all that you are (both successes and failures) enables you to look at hard-to-face places about yourself, and discover new perspectives. I work with how your unconscious mind has learned to cope with overwhelming life experiences, both in youth and adulthood, which have interrupted your ...
