I offer psychotherapy and specialized counselling services to adults (18 years and older).  These sessions are offered in-person in my Toronto office as well as virtually through a secure telehealth platform.  

All psychotherapy and counselling services begin with an initial assessment where we discuss the issues you want to work on and create a collaborative plan on how therapy and counselling can help to address these issues. If you are interested in how these services might help you, please use the contact form to inquire about more information.

Specialized Counselling Services

1:1 specialized counselling services focusing on the following issues in which I have specific training and experience working with:

Antidepressant and Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Syndrome

This process involves supportive counselling for those experience antidepressant and other psychotropic medication withdrawal, and can include learning how to identify and manage withdrawal symptoms, developing skills to manage stressors that might be intensifying your experience of withdrawal, and having personalized support in getting through this challenging experience.

Antidepressant Tapering Support

This process involves having support for the psychological and emotional aspects involved with coming off an antidepressant. This can include learning how to re-experience and manage emotions, building a stronger sense of yourself as you come off of an antidepressant, including getting a better sense of your identity, needs and values, and having personalized support for the common challenges that can emerge as you taper.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for INSOMNIA (CBT-I)

CBT-I is an evidence-based treatment effective in resolving Insomnia Disorder. This is offered as a short-term treatment that begins with an assessment for Insomnia Disorder, followed by a personalized treatment plan.
