About
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or a loss of sense of self that affects your day-to-day life and relationships? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed by just getting through the day? I believe there is hope, and I'd love to help you find it. At Exhale Mental Health, my approach is rooted in therapy tailored to how your brain works. You can expect warmth, clear structure, and a pace that works for you. I'm committed to meeting you exactly where you are.
I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, and the kind of deep identity questions that can leave you feeling detached. Whether that means untangling old patterns, learning to unhook from unhelpful stories your brain keeps broadcasting, or building practical strategies to stay grounded during emotional storms, I bring both genuine curiosity and real structure to the work. I wonder often about what's underneath the struggle, and I'll always check whether what I'm noticing actually resonates with you.
My practice draws on a range of approaches including ACT, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, narrative therapy and somatic techniques because no single framework fits every person. I work with preteens, teens, adults, and older adults, seeing individuals and families. I offer sessions in both English and French, in person at my cozy private office in Stouffville or securely online.
For more than 20 years I've created calm, safe spaces where you feel seen and leave with strategies that actually work. No judgment. No one-size-fits-all. Book your free 20-minute consultation and let's get started.
