How I help adults and adolescents in Mississauga & Ontario
I work with adults and adolescents across a range of concerns — anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity, relationships, adult ADHD, and life transitions. Each person brings a unique story, and therapy is shaped around what matters most to you. See therapy services for details.
Identity & Life Transitions
Navigating change, growth, and an evolving sense of self. Whether it is a new role, relocation, or questioning who you are, therapy offers a space to explore without judgment.
Relationships & Boundaries
Building healthier patterns in how we connect — with partners, family, friends, or at work. We explore attachment, communication, and what gets in the way of closeness.
Trauma & PTSD
Healing from past experiences in a safe, trauma-informed space. We go at your pace and work to restore a sense of safety and agency.
Grief & Loss
Processing loss and finding meaning through mourning. Grief is not only about death — it includes job loss, relationship endings, and other significant changes.
Depression & Mood
Understanding and working through persistent low mood, emptiness, or hopelessness. We look at what lies beneath while building practical supports.
Anxiety & Stress
Developing capacity to manage worry, overwhelm, and the physical toll of chronic stress. We work on both understanding roots and using practical tools.
Adult ADHD
Support for overwhelm, masking, self-criticism, emotional intensity, relationships, and practical follow-through. Learn more about adult ADHD therapy support .

Is This Right for You?
Who I work with
My practice is a good fit if some of this resonates with you.
You've been managing on your own, but something isn't shifting.
You're interested in understanding why you feel the way you do, not just managing symptoms.
You want a therapist who will be honest and curious with you, not just offer reassurance.
You've tried therapy before and want something deeper.
You're going through a transition and need a space to think it through.
You notice patterns in your relationships or reactions that you want to understand.
If you're unsure, that's okay. A free consultation call is a good place to start.
