Making Sense Together: Individual & Couple Psychotherapist. Registered Psychotherapist, Relationship Expert & Life Coach. Everyone’s story is different.

Making Sense Together: Individual Counselling
I work with people on understanding themselves, being more self aware and their relationship with others. I do this by working with my clients in discovering patterns, understanding their organizing principals and themselves with others. People come to see me for many reasons. Some might be feeling stuck, dealing with a tough moment in their life and need someone to listen to them and help make sense of what is happening for them. Everyone's story is different. I can help. Some of the areas of my work:
Depression & Anxiety
Addictions
Relationship Counseling
Unresolved Childhood Issues
Self Worth Issues (inner and outer self image)
Mental Health Concerns
Career and/or Big life Changes
First Time Partent Anxieties
Infertility Issues
LGBT Issues
Loss & Grief

Working With Couples to Building a Stronger Connection: Working with couples is about understanding both individuals and how they come together. My job is to help you navigate through your relationship and help you both feel more connected throughout communication and intimacy. Parent Counselling: A deeper self-understanding can help you raise children to thrive. Parent Therapy is a good practice to understand your own experiences and feelings around life and parenting and how this may impact your child. For expecting parents as well.

Feeling overwhelmed? Sometimes, small steps can make a big difference in managing anxiety.

When anxiety starts to feel like too much, try these simple techniques to help you slow down, reconnect with the present moment, and give yourself a little breathing room.

- Ground yourself with the 5–4–3–2–1 technique to bring your attention back to the present.
- Practice slow breathing to help your body settle when stress feels overwhelming.
- Take a step back from demanding tasks and give yourself permission to pause.
- Stay hydrated and reset with a glass of water, a short walk, or a few quiet moments.

Remember, you don't have to do everything at once. Be gentle with yourself and take things one step at a time.

If anxiety is affecting your daily life, you don't have to navigate it alone. Therapy can help you develop coping strategies that work for you.

In one Canadian survey of women with ADHD, 46% had been given a different diagnosis first.

Anxiety and depression are real, and many women experience both. But sometimes, they’re only part of the picture. Years of undiagnosed ADHD can take a toll, and when only the symptoms are treated, the underlying cause may go unrecognized.

For many women, ADHD doesn’t look like the stereotypes. It can look like overwhelm, exhaustion, anxiety, or constantly trying to keep up while wondering why everything feels so hard.

If you’ve been treated for one thing but still feel like something isn’t quite adding up, it may be worth asking whether ADHD could be part of your story.

Why does ADHD get missed in women, and what does an ADHD assessment look like in Canada?

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. 🕯️ Your love didn’t end, and neither did your role as a parent.

Pregnancy and infant loss can happen at any stage: early in pregnancy, later on, at birth, or in the first year of life. Whether it was a miscarriage, a stillbirth, an ectopic pregnancy, a termination for medical reasons, or the death of a baby, the grief is real.

Many parents carry it quietly, unsure whether anyone will understand. If that’s you, here’s what we want you to know:

🤍 There’s no right way to grieve, and no timeline.
🤍 Your grief is valid, no matter how far along you were.
🤍 Partners, family members, and loved ones may grieve differently, and that’s okay too.
🤍 It’s okay to have good days and hard days, and to be surprised by which is which.

If someone you love is grieving, you don’t need perfect words. Saying “I’m so sorry, I’m here” and remembering their baby’s name or due date can mean more than you think.

To every parent remembering a baby this month: you are not alone, and your baby is remembered.

If you’d like support, you can reach us through the link in our bio, whenever you’re ready.

Just found out you have ADHD as an adult? It’s common to feel a mix of relief and grief. Relief at finally having an explanation. Grief for the years without the right support. Both can be true at once.

A few places to start:

✨ Use external reminders instead of relying on willpower
✨ Shrink the first step. Start with something so small it feels almost silly
✨ Find a therapist who understands ADHD specifically

A diagnosis isn’t the finish line. It’s the start of understanding yourself with more compassion.

At Psychotherapy In The City, we offer in-person therapy in Toronto and virtual sessions across Canada. If you’re ready to find support that fits you, tap the link in our bio to get in touch.

Save this for later and share it with someone who might need it.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and alongside the awareness, we want to make room for something that doesn’t always get talked about: the emotional weight of illness.

If you’re navigating a diagnosis right now, your own or someone you love, you may be carrying fear, grief, anger, guilt, exhaustion, or even moments of numbness. Sometimes all in the same day. None of it means you’re doing it wrong.

And it’s not only the person with the diagnosis. Partners, parents, children, friends, and caregivers often hold their own worries quietly, putting everyone else first while their own feelings wait in the background. You matter in this story too.

Therapy can be a steady place to process the “what ifs,” the heavy days, and everything in between. There’s no timeline and no right way to feel.
If this is your season, we see you. 🤍

Reach out when you’re ready. Our door is open.

Parenting can be beautiful, meaningful… and incredibly overwhelming.

When we’re carrying stress, anxiety, anger or exhaustion, it can be hard to respond to our children the way we want to. And sometimes, the guilt comes afterwards. But parenting isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about learning to notice what’s happening within us, regulate, and find our way back to connection.

Peace & Parenting is a virtual workshop created to explore practical tools for navigating the emotional demands of parenting, including mindfulness, breathing, self-compassion and gentle movement.

- Saturday, October 24
- 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
- Online

Come as you are. No perfect parenting required.
