What happens after you reach out 

I work with adults navigating trauma, complex trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, addictions, emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges, shame, attachment concerns, and difficult life transitions.

I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including DBT, DBT-PTSD, CBT, CPT, IFS, ACT, EFT, attachment-based therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches. Therapy is tailored to your needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and solution-focused. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel understood and supported, while also helping you identify what is keeping you stuck and take practical steps toward change.I will listen with compassion, but I will also be honest and gently challenge patterns, beliefs, or behaviours that may no longer be serving you. Together, we will focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and finding strategies you can apply outside of therapy.Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw from evidence-based therapies including DBT, CPT, CBT, ACT, and IFS. Our work will be tailored to your needs, goals, and pace, with a focus on creating meaningful and lasting change.

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin developing a plan that feels supportive and tailored to your unique needs. There is no pressure to share everything at once—we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Finding the right therapist is important. The complimentary consultation gives you an opportunity to ask questions, learn more about my approach, and decide whether working together feels like the right fit—without any obligation to continue.

That is completely understandable. Many people feel uncertain or anxious before their first session. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy can begin simply by showing up and taking things one step at a time.

As a Registered Social Worker, my services are covered by many extended health benefit plans. Coverage varies, so I recommend checking with your insurance provider. A receipt is provided after each session for reimbursement.

Your privacy is very important, and what you share in therapy is kept strictly confidential. Information will only be shared with your consent, except in certain situations where disclosure is required by Ontario law. These exceptions include:- If there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or someone else- If there is suspected abuse or neglect of a child under 16- If you disclose abuse by a regulated health professional- If there is concern about abuse or neglect of a seniorIf your records are subpoenaed by a court- If the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario requests records for audit or investigation purposes These limits to confidentiality will be explained in detail before we begin, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Therapy is a collaborative process tailored to your unique needs, goals, and life experiences. Sessions provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and challenges at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we work to better understand the patterns that may be contributing to distress, develop practical coping strategies, and build the skills needed to navigate life's difficulties with greater confidence and resilience.Depending on your needs, therapy may incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed interventions. Our goal is not only to help you manage symptoms, but to foster deeper self-understanding, emotional healing, and meaningful, lasting change.

The length of therapy is different for everyone and depends on your unique goals, needs, and circumstances. Some clients find that short-term therapy provides the support and tools they need to navigate a specific challenge, while others benefit from longer-term therapy that allows for deeper exploration, healing, and personal growth. There is no "right" timeline for therapy, and we believe the process should move at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.​Throughout our work together, we will regularly review your progress, discuss your evolving goals, and ensure that therapy continues to meet your needs. Our aim is to provide support for as long as it feels beneficial, helping you build insight, resilience, and lasting skills that you can carry forward long after therapy has ended.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals better understand and manage intense emotions, navigate relationship challenges, and develop healthier ways of coping with life's difficulties. Originally developed for individuals experiencing chronic emotional dysregulation, DBT is now widely used to support concerns such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), anxiety, trauma, depression, self-destructive behaviours, and interpersonal difficulties. DBT focuses on building practical skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help individuals become more present in the moment, cope with emotional pain without making situations worse, respond to emotions more effectively, and communicate their needs while maintaining healthy relationships. At Harmony Healing Psychotherapy, DBT is delivered within a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. Our goal is to help you better understand your emotions, reduce emotional suffering, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with your values.

You can book sessions directly through our secure online booking system via the Jane App. We also offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you get started and find the right therapeutic fit.

Trauma-informed therapy recognizes that trauma can have a profound impact on the brain, nervous system, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, this approach seeks to understand how past experiences may be influencing current thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and coping patterns. Many responses that people struggle with today—such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, avoidance, or emotional numbness—may have originally developed as ways to survive difficult or overwhelming experiences.​At the core of trauma-informed therapy is the belief that healing occurs in an environment of safety, trust, collaboration, and empowerment. Therapy is approached with sensitivity and respect for your experiences, ensuring that you never feel pressured to share more than you are ready for. Instead of re-traumatizing individuals by forcing them to revisit painful memories before they have the necessary support and coping skills, therapy moves at a pace that feels safe and manageable.​Our goal is to help you better understand your nervous system responses, develop healthier coping strategies, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with a greater sense of safety, self-compassion, and control in your life. Through a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship, trauma-informed therapy can help you move beyond survival mode and toward meaningful healing, growth, and lasting change.

Yes! We specialize in supporting university students and young adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and major life transitions. The years of young adulthood can be exciting, but they can also bring significant pressure, uncertainty, and emotional challenges as you balance academics, career goals, relationships, family expectations, and personal growth.​Our approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to the unique needs of young adults. We understand that many students and early-career professionals may appear successful on the outside while quietly struggling with overwhelm, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the emotional impact of past experiences. Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand yourself, build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and develop greater confidence and resilience.​We also recognize the importance of making therapy accessible and affordable. Many university students and young professionals have extended health benefits that cover psychotherapy services, making it easier to access the support you need. Whether you're looking for short-term support through a challenging period or longer-term therapy for deeper healing and personal growth, we're here to help you navigate life's challenges and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic life.

Absolutely. We are committed to providing culturally responsive and inclusive therapy that honors the unique experiences, identities, values, and backgrounds each client brings into the therapy room. We recognize that culture, family dynamics, religion, immigration experiences, systemic barriers, and societal expectations can all shape how individuals experience mental health, relationships, trauma, and personal growth.​Our goal is to create a safe, respectful, and affirming space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood without needing to explain or justify your experiences. We approach therapy with curiosity, humility, and openness, recognizing that you are the expert on your own life and lived experience.​Whether you are navigating cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, family expectations, experiences of discrimination, or the challenges of balancing multiple cultural worlds, therapy can provide a supportive environment to explore these experiences and their impact on your well-being. We strive to help clients build self-understanding, resilience, and empowerment while fostering healing in a space that values diversity, authenticity, and belonging.

While Harmony Healing Psychotherapy is not a crisis service and is unable to provide immediate support during a mental health emergency, we are here to support you through ongoing psychotherapy when you are safe, stable, and ready to engage in the therapeutic process.​If you are currently experiencing a crisis, having thoughts of harming yourself or others, or require immediate support, please contact a crisis service, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency department. You can also reach the Suicide Crisis Helpline by calling or texting 9-8-8, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Canada, or contact the Talk Suicide Crisis Helpline at 1-833-456-4566.Once the immediate crisis has passed, psychotherapy can provide a supportive space to process your experiences, develop coping strategies, strengthen emotional resilience, and work toward long-term healing and recovery.

You're welcome to email with brief updates, scheduling questions, or information you'd like your therapist to be aware of before your next appointment. However, therapeutic support, clinical guidance, and in-depth discussions are provided during scheduled sessions to ensure you receive the time, attention, and care needed to effectively address your concerns.​Because email is not monitored continuously and is not intended for crisis support, it should not be used for urgent mental health concerns or emergencies. If you are experiencing significant distress between sessions, we will work together to develop a personalized plan that includes coping strategies, emotional regulation tools, and appropriate crisis resources that you can access when additional support is needed.​Our goal is to help you build confidence in managing difficult emotions and challenges between sessions while ensuring you have access to the appropriate supports during times of increased need.
