· Have you ever been told that you’re “too sensitive”?

· Do you ever feel overwhelmed in noisy crowded atmosphere?

· Do you feel like you have to say “yes” to every little thing that’s asked of you?

You might be a highly sensitive person (HSP) — and yes, it’s a superpower. But it’s not the whole story.

As a dedicated psychotherapist, I understand the unique strengths and challenges that come with high sensitivity. Yet, sensitivity is just one piece of the complex puzzle of human emotions. I specialize in supporting not only HSPs but also individuals navigating through the turbulent waters of addictions, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and abuse.

My journey into the field was shaped by my own experiences as an HSP, struggling to find my way in the bustling chaos of life. I’ve felt overwhelmed, pressured to conform, and yearned for someone who truly understands the importance of embracing our authentic selves. This personal journey helps me create an empathetic environment and fuels my client-centered approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your life.

Whether you’re dealing with addictions, grappling with anxiety, sinking into depression, mourning a loss, surviving trauma, or healing from abuse, I’m here to offer a safe, trauma-informed, and compassionate space. Together, we’ll uncover the obstacles blocking your path and develop strategies for a more authentic connection with yourself and the world around you.

Let’s start with a conversation. Book a FREE 15-minute consultation to explore how we can work together towards your healing and growth.

Are you feeling stuck and struggle to find a way forward? Perhaps you’re dealing with a job loss, career transition, relationship challenges, or death of a loved one. You may be overwhelmed by feelings of sadness, confusion, fear, grief, anxiety, heartache, isolation, or uncertainty. You want to find a way through how you’re feeling but struggle to find the right direction, solutions, or strength to move forward.

Having experienced my own challenges with significant life transitions and loss, I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and fearful, and to struggle to find direction. Overcoming these personal challenges has taught me that there is always a way through anything that life presents to us. I have also learned that sometimes we need a little support along the way to find new strategies, see things from a fresh perspective, and help build our strength and courage to make our personal journey feel less scary.

I work collaboratively with clients to help them overcome challenges by focusing on building their internal strength and resilience, developing coping strategies that work for them, and finding effective solutions. I take a solution-focused, strength-based, and client-centered approach that encourages growth and meaningful change.

I know that everyone’s experiences are unique, and I will support you along your personal wellness journey. No matter how you are feeling today and whatever is challenging you, I will support you with compassion and without judgment, working with you to find the right strategies that fit YOU. I invite you to reach out to set up a free 15-minute consultation and see how I can support you. I look forward to connecting with you!

“You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love.” -Brené Brown

Have you ever felt like you do not belong, that you are gravely misunderstood? What about striving for perfection in all aspects of your life? Or constantly feeling like a stranger in your own body? Does any of this sound familiar to you? I can assure you that you are not alone in these struggles. We might try to put on a brave face for the world; however, cracks begin forming in our façade, and self-doubt creeps in and eats away at our sense of self. I am here to normalize these feelings and empower you to become the best version of yourself, whatever that might look like.

As a therapist, I am always working on my recovery journey to symbolize that it is okay not to be okay. Growing up in a larger body made life challenging. My healing journey began when I came to terms with my disordered eating habits and past trauma, which meant I always had one foot in the past; I could never fully be presentexploring my identity and presenting as my authentic self has allowed my self-confidence to soar. For so many years, I felt like a stranger in my own body, and now I can say I have a much healthier relationship with my mind, body, and spirit.

My approach to therapy involves an anti-oppressive, holistic, and trauma-informed lens. What does that even mean? Let me break it down for you. As an intersectional feminist, I believe it is crucial to view the world in many different ways and consider everyone’s voice, regardless of their age, race, gender, disabilities, et cetera. I come at therapy from a biopsychosocial approach, considering various biological, psychological, and social factors. I believe that therapy works best when collaboration is being used. Therefore, I will always check in with you and receive your input before making any changes or plans. You are the expert on your life and what works for you. Meditation and deep breathing might be a viable option, or we might need to do some deeper work to facilitate healing from unresolved trauma. We will find what works best for you.

If any of this resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out so we can collaborate on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

Welcome! If you’re a high-functioning individual looking for help in navigating the complexities of life, you’ve come to the right place.

I’m passionate about providing empathetic support to those wrestling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other emotional regulation issues.

I’m a firm believer in individualized care, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” model. Our lived experiences shape us into unique people, and therapy should reflect that.

Are you a 25-35 year old woman in Ontario who grapples with the past, was raised by emotionally immature (or narcissistic) parents, struggles with setting boundaries, finds herself in painful codependent relationships, and feels responsible for the emotions of others while neglecting her own? Your body is always in fight or flight mode, and you can’t seem to break the unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck. It’s infuriating to intellectually know what to do, and not be able to DO it (or stick to it). Your brain is in overdrive and you’re stuck in “freeze”, numbing out with wine, weed, social media, alcohol, or anything that works.

Hi, I’m Jessica, and I understand how these challenges can feel like a never-ending cycle. You’ve tried all the things: read self-help books, go for walks, journal, save all the therapy tiktoks, yoga, maybe tried therapy, but nothing seems to actually address the ACTUAL source of your wounds. It is my honour and my life’s mission to help you do just that.

I get it - you’re not just looking for someone to talk to, you want a partner in your healing journey, someone who understands the web of addiction, emotional neglect, and unhealthy relationships. And let be real - somebody can who can lovingly call you out on your sh!t sometimes! To see if we’d be a good fit, sent me an email for a free 15 min consult.

You’re someone who’s always pushing forward, balancing the demands of life, career, and personal goals. You’ve explored self-help resources, dabbled in mindfulness, and perhaps even sought therapy, but still feel like you’re not where you want to be.

Overwhelm, anxiety, self-doubt, or maybe ADHD are part of your daily challenges, compounded by the quest for a healthier work-life balance. Your relationships might also reflect this struggle, marked by a tendency to prioritize others’ needs or finding it hard to achieve fulfillment with those closest to you.

As someone who’s walked the path of ADHD and navigated the world as an empath, I get how tough it can be to keep up in an often overwhelming world. My goal is to support people like you, who are trying to marry ambition with self-care, all while maintaining emotional and mental health.

My practice is built on the belief that understanding issues from every angle is crucial to developing a holistic perspective. Through this lens, I aim to help my clients unearth and address the underlying factors contributing to their feelings of being stuck, burned out, or lost. My goal is to empower each individual to break free from past constraints and to pave a path toward their best life, one where they can achieve their goals without losing sight of their well-being. With a trauma-informed view, I help my clients identify and overcome their obstacles, paving the way for a connection to self and the world that feels more authentic and empowering. Together, we’ll work towards making life feel less daunting and more fulfilling, enabling you to embrace your strengths and confidently become the person you’ve always aimed to be.

If you’re ready to take the steps toward healing and personal fulfillment, I’m here to guide and support you through this journey. Let’s connect and see how we can navigate this path together.

A bit more about me…

I am an empathetic, inclusive, and compassionate therapist who is looking to provide non-judgemental support to those in need.

Do you find yourself often thinking negatively about yourself? Do you struggle with confidence and feeling good about yourself? Do you feel like your life is out of your control? Do you just need someone to talk to? Do you need help reaching your goals?

You hold yourself to higher standards than you hold others and feel disappointed when you do not achieve perfection.

Hi, I’m Sam!

Does this sound like you? You’re a highly sensitive person and empath. You have read the self-help books, tried things like meditation and journaling, maybe you’ve been to therapy before - but you still feel STUCK. This might look like people pleasing, self-sabotage, overwhelm or overthinking. Maybe for you it’s anxiety, ADHD, panic, overeating, procrastination, and difficulty regulating emotions. Often, this can show up as difficulties in interpersonal relationships - either being attracted to the “wrong” people or being unable to find fulfillment in your existing relationships.

As a highly sensitive person myself, I understand first hand the challenges that come from simply existing in todays urgency based hustle culture. My specialties are helping others to process big feelings like anxiety, procrastination/lack of focus, self-worth, people-pleasing, self-confidence, and existential angst in individuals and couples.

I take a trauma informed approach to therapy, helping clients to discover the blocks that keep them stuck. By developing new ways of relating to themselves and to the world, my clients begin to confidently emerge as the version of themselves that they truly long to be. To make sure we are a good fit, please book a free 15 minute Meet & Greet call - I look forward to meeting you soon!

Hi, I’m Gabriella. And as a highly sensitive, neurodivergent human myself, I understand firsthand the challenges that come from simply existing in todays urgency-based hustle culture. My specialties are helping others to accept and process their big feelings like anxiety, restlessness, self-worth, people pleasing, self-confidence, anger, and existential angst, most specifically with women in their mid-twenties and early 30s.

In addition to being a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I also have a special interest in trauma - that means I view my clients through the lens of attachment style and family history to better understand the experiences that lie behind your emotions and unhelpful patterns of behaviour.

When I’m not practicing therapy, you can find me walking my adorable pup Riot, going on hikes in the GTA, crafting, crocheting, or watching one of my fave sci-fi movies.

“I tailor my approach to meet people where they are and support them on their journey toward where they want to be.” -Melissa Lerner.

Psychotherapy has taught me how to navigate challenges and disappointments. As an elementary educator, I understand the pressures and struggles children face. I help youth learn skills to reduce anxiety, regulate emotions, and build self-esteem.

Are you an adult struggling with feeling connected to yourself and others? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed with life and are not sure where to turn to for some relief. Do you struggle with depression or anxiety? Maybe you have been diagnosed with a personality disorder and feel isolated in dealing with the symptoms of the disorder.

Life can be overwhelming at times for many of us, but with the added stress of a mental health condition, it can feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and sometimes, you may feel lost and disconnected. Are you highly sensitive and feel misunderstood by others, leaving you feeling like there is no available support through your distress. Or perhaps you have been unable to achieve the relationships and friendships you dreamed of, leaving you feeling that these weights you carry are yours to bear alone.

I will help you learn to identify your thoughts surrounding core beliefs and why you cannot break free from some of your behavioural patterns. I will guide you through techniques for easing your anxiety as well as help you identify your attachment style and recognize why some of your relationships and friendships are leaving you feeling alone and misunderstood, or why you are clashing with others to the point of frustration. Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy among other therapies, I believe I can help you find balance in your life again and bring a level of peace to your life that you have been desiring.
