About us

If you’ve ever felt like your past is shaping your present in ways you can’t control—through anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty setting boundaries—you’re not alone. Many of us carry survival strategies that helped us once but now hold us back from living fully and authentically.

My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, and deeply rooted in narrative therapy and parts work through an attachment lens, helping clients reclaim agency over their lives by reshaping the stories they tell about themselves. Healing begins with understanding—and rewriting the narratives and developing awareness of the patterns that have shaped a person’s identity, self-worth, and emotional responses.

As a trauma-informed psychotherapist in Toronto and North York, I offer a compassionate, holistic approach to healing. My work draws from narrative therapy, somatic awareness, attachment theory, and parts work—tailored to help you move from survival mode to intentional, value-based living.

Together, we’ll gently explore the stories, beliefs, and emotional responses that have shaped your identity, and work toward healing, connection, and self-trust.

Core Principles of My Approach

📝 1. Narrative Re-Authoring: You Are Not Your Struggles

• Reclaim your story by separating your identity from problems like self-criticism, anxiety, or trauma responses.
• Through externalization and narrative restructuring, we shift the lens from shame to empowerment.
• Together, we rewrite the story: one of resilience, worth, and self-agency.

🧠 2. Trauma-Informed Healing: Understanding Emotional Survival Patterns

• Perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional withdrawal—these are often protective responses to past wounds.
• We’ll explore how attachment trauma and early life experiences shaped your nervous system and relationships.
• By recognizing flight, fight, freeze, or fawn responses, you gain choice, not just reaction.

🌱 3. Self-Worth Beyond Performance: Reclaiming an Authentic Identity

• Many clients I work with have learned to equate worth with achievement, approval, or productivity.
• We will challenge those beliefs and reconnect with your values, inner child, and sense of meaning.
• Therapy becomes a space to rediscover self-worth rooted in being, not doing.

💗 4. Emotional Regulation & Self-Compassion: Building Inner Stability

• Healing starts with nonjudgmental self-awareness.
• We’ll use mindfulness, somatic regulation, and psychoeducation to navigate emotional triggers.
• You’ll gain tools—worksheets, metaphors, grounding practices—to manage overwhelm and increase resilience.

🤝 5. Reclaiming Connection & Boundaries: From People-Pleasing to Authenticity

• Many clients struggle with hyper-independence or fear of rejection.
• Therapy supports you in expressing needs, setting limits, and building secure relationships without guilt.
• You’ll learn to connect from a place of self-trust—not fear.    

You deserve support that honors your story and helps you step into a life rooted in authenticity, connection, and self-worth.
