YYZ Talks

Having had opportunities to teach Psychotherapy, and provide supervision and mentorship, my appreciation for this work is renewed hourly. I have completed extensive trainings and blend modalities to deliver tailored care to my clients. I approach psychotherapy from an integrative angle, applying multiple approaches to meet the needs of my clients. My sessions are often on the less structured side, making room to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs as they unfold.
