Therapists in M5B

I offer a safe space, where you can grow your awareness and dive into your deeper Self. I am here to be the right support for you to face your challenges and step into your healing journey. Yes, it will be tough at some times and I will be there with you. Together, we will step out of your pain and into your awareness. Back to Body! We often forget about our bodies and tend to become prisoners of our minds. I’m here to remind, here to support you in letting go. You deserve to feel alive and happy!

Waitlist open, full rate only. Sliding scale full. I specialize in supporting racialized queer, non-binary, and trans folks through codependency and trauma. I work from a strengths-based, trauma-informed, anti-oppression framework that integrates culturally-aware care into my work with clients. My work is always informed by the client’s social and cultural location, and all sessions are facilitated with the client’s strengths, needs, and goals in mind.

As a human being on my own healing and wellness journey, I believe we all have the capacity to heal from and grow through whatever life challenges we may be facing, have faced in the past, or will encounter in the future. But we're not meant to do it alone. As your therapist, sharing a genuine (not clinical feeling) connection is important to me. My aim is to create a warm, affirming and non-judgemental space to share, learn, grow and heal.

I support people in exploring what it means to live authentically to themselves. We can explore topics of anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, neurodiversity, family/relationship issues, sexuality, and gender. In the past, I have had the honour of working as a sex, kink and BDSM educator, teaching workshops with a focus on communication, harm-reduction, and pleasure. Other topics of interest have included radical body acceptance, navigating non-monogamy, and dating. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, intersectional feminist values. I am a queer person and second-generation settler with Lebanese ancestry.

I take a holistic approach to a person’s life, recognizing the impact and continued effects of colonization and systemic racism on racialized bodies. Marginalized communities experience higher rates of loss. Understanding that people experience micro-aggressions, discrimination and racism (overt and covert) socio-political injustices. People may come to me for multiple reasons: Identity development. Economic and health inequities. Over-policing, violence and incarceration, detentions and deportations. Interracial relationships. Workplace stress.

Seeking therapy is a radical act of self love. It takes courage to reach out when in pain or transition. Wanting support is a sign of the impulse to thrive. I hold space for you to heal your attachment and other wounds. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and have a Masters of Psychology, with a private practice in downtown Toronto. My special interests include transitions across the life span, attachment and trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, Post Traumatic Stress, newcomer and multi cultural issues, intersecting with LGBTQ issues, women's mental health, transitioning genders, and newcomer issues.

I identify as a cis-gender, racialized Asian woman whose approach embraces a wholistic, reflective, equity-seeking, anti-oppressive/anti-racist decolonized lens. It's been an honour to be welcomed into many diverse communities through 20+ years in education, support and case management with racialized communities, gender diverse individuals, Indigenous peoples, people living with HIV/AIDS, newcomer populations, people who use substances, as well as sexual trauma survivors. The evolution of my practice includes a metaphysical component that acknowledges the interplay of mind/body/spirit

Perhaps you are going through suffering, feeling lost or overwhelmed. Maybe you have long endured unspoken pain that needs to be seen and heard. No matter what brought you here, you are working hard to find an answer, a solution, or help to some problems that you are facing in your life. That's incredible courage and strength you already possess. No matter what's been troubling you, psychotherapy will provide a safe space to explore emotional hardships, support healing and allow growth to unfold.
