Healing Services Offered

My goal in our psychotherapy and life coaching work together is to create a supportive therapeutic environment in which you can explore your emotional needs, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and overcome barriers that have been limiting your full potential. Simply put, I can help you get unstuck from whatever's been holding you back.


I take an open-minded approach to your mental health and consider your work life, family traditions, racial and cultural ancestry, spiritual beliefs, and sexual identity. I am LGBTQ-inclusive, informed and affirmative, and work within an anti-oppressive model.

Are you successful in your professional life, but want to feel more fulfilled? 
Do you wonder how to achieve balance, meaning and purpose in your life?
 Do you want to live a more purposeful life that is deeply aligned with your values?



If your answer to any of the above questions is 'YES!', you have a lot in common with many of my life coaching clients. Together, we can develop winning strategies which will guarantee you a more positive life that fits your core values.
I am passionately committed to empowering individuals like you to reach their fullest potential and live the lives they’ve only dreamed of. As your life coach, I will partner with you to help you find clarity, make meaningful and intentional choices, and take the necessary steps to achieve what you want. Professional life and career coaching is about being clear on what you want to do, making a plan and getting it done. You can find your bliss! As your Life Coach who is also licensed to practice psychotherapy, I'll help you figure out how. 

Mindfulness is the art of staying focused, moment by moment, without judgment, on the present moment. Everyday mindfulness is cultivated by assuming the observational stance of intentional awareness, practising "being" (rather than doing), and developing compassion for oneself and others. Mindfulness is an incredibly powerful practice to help you take control of your inner critic.  As a trained mindfulness specialist and meditation practitioner, I can help you learn to develop and hone your mindfulness skills.

   
Mindfulness has been in the news a lot in recent years. Why? Because countless scientific studies have validated and supported the practice of daily mindfulness and mindfulness meditation. Simply put, it works! If you have any of the personal goals below, then mindfulness training may help you:   

• Stress reduction  
• Pain management    
• Peace of mind    
• Greater clarity    
• Reduced anxiety and depression symptoms    
• Lowered blood pressure    
• More restful sleep

• Greater creativity and productivity     
• Increased happiness    
• Developing compassion
• Increased connection with loved ones    
• Healthier state of mind 

Curious to learn more? You're welcome to listen to and practice meditating using the free guided meditations I've recorded over the years. I incorporate a lot of mindfulness teachings into my psychotherapy and life coaching work with my clients, and I would love to help you build your own personal mindfulness practice.

Clinical hypnotherapy is an evidence-based approach in psychotherapy which integrates well with other therapeutic tools offered at Mindful Solutions Clinic, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, EMDR, Energy Psychology (EDxTM), and Mindfulness-based therapies  - such as Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptant and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Mindful Self-Compassion. Hypnosis can also be integrated well with life coaching, and with psycho-spiritual traditional healing using shamanic and reiki practices.

Hypnotherapy involves applying trance-work and suggestions in order to help you to access your own "inner therapist" resources. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a is a fairly new, nontraditional type of psychotherapy. It is particularly helpful in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma from experiences such as military combat, physical assault, rape, or car accidents.

Mind, body and spirit need to all be in balance in order for us to thrive. This is why I also offer spiritual healing, in the forms of reiki and traditional shamanic healing as part of my core services that include psychotherapy and life coaching.

Are you all Zoomed-out from work? Over the years in my private practice, many of my clients have taken advantage of telephone psychotherapy and life coaching, and have found it to be incredibly powerful. So whether you're in Toronto or elsewhere within the province of Ontario, we can work together!


Telephone counselling can be an excellent solution for those of you with busy schedules, or for those of you who want to avoid commuting for therapy.  Using a talk therapy approach during telephone sessions, we can work to help you overcome your negative mindsets and emotions.


To see if telephone therapy is right for you, let's talk! Schedule a free 30-minute telephone consultation and ask me what approach would be the best fit for your needs.

Accessibility matters to me! While my office is conveniently located in downtown Toronto's Greektown, at the Carrot Common (near Chester subway station, and with ample street and lot parking spots), I understand that it may not always be easy to travel for an in-office session.


This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have access to psychotherapy, counselling, coaching, or spiritual healing services!
Regardless of where you are in Ontario, I offer video e-counselling on a platform with state-of-the-art security and encryption protocols which are PHIPAA compliant, to ensure your privacy and confidentiality.  
Video e-Counselling allows us to engage with one another through a protected and private platform so that we can work together through a virtual session, just as you would if you were joining me in office. I know you are busy, but don’t let that stop you from receiving the support you need.   
To discuss whether you might be the right candidate for video e-counselling, please schedule a free consult with me.
 

Please note that Walk & Talk Sessions in Toronto have been temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Walk and Talk Therapy, which combines mindful movement with talk psychotherapy and life coaching, is a great way to tap into the mind-body connection!  Did you know that rhythmic exercise such as Walking & Talking can be conducive to the process of self-discovery? Here's why:  

• It can encourage you to be more physically active, which is great for mental and physical reasons
• It can help you get "unstuck" when confronting difficult issues
• It can activate your creative, deeper ways of thinking

Walk and Talk therapy can be right for you if sitting face-to-face with your therapist causes too much anxiety for you. Walking in parallel with me would provide you with the visual distractions of the outdoor scenery, which may make it easier and less stressful for you to talk. This form of therapy isn’t about getting a high-impact cardio workout. In fact, it can be enjoyed by clients at all levels of fitness as a means of taking in fresh air while moving mindfully and processing your feelings.  
Ask me if walk and talk therapy might be right for you.

 Please note that in-office psychotherapy and life coaching sessions in Toronto have been temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Updates will be posted to my blog as the situation changes. Thank you for your understanding.
