About Me

Psychotherapy offers a unique space for personal growth, and I believe in its power to create lasting positive change. As a Registered Social Worker with over 30 years’ experience, I partner with individuals seeking clarity and a way forward. My role as director and supervisor at Horizon Therapy clinic further grounds my dedication to compassionate, effective support. Consider a 20-minute consultation to explore how we might work together, ensuring you feel heard and understood.

Approach

Built on the belief that psychotherapy can change lives, I focus on practical, client-led sessions that translate insight into small, doable steps. Sessions—available in English in Toronto or online—move at your pace, balancing attentive listening with brief experiments between meetings so you can notice what shifts. We attend to grief, relationships, identity and mood by pairing present-moment awareness with clear, values-based planning, and I adjust support when interns are involved under clinical supervision. This way of working often fits adolescents, adults and couples seeking steady, achievable progress.
