Psychotherapy focused on improving the mental health of women.

Appointments are available in person in Toronto, Ontario, or virtually in Toronto and anywhere in Ontario, Canada.

Welcome to your new chapter,

let’s write it together.

My Approach

I use a goal-oriented and strength-based approach in therapy to help women evolve through the glorious, and not so glorious stages of life. Leaning on my academic and business backgrounds, I use evidence-based techniques founded upon neuroscience and psychological research. 

Your sessions can be in-person, in a calm mid-town Toronto setting, or through a secure virtual web platform for any clients in Toronto or Ontario. I believe, and research shows, that the relationship between the therapist and client is the key to meaningful and effective therapy. Your free 15-minute consultation session is to check out whether you and I are a good fit, with no obligation to continue.

Whether you are beginning a relationship, going through a divorce, preparing for children, experiencing an empty nest, or having fertility issues, you will feel supported throughout. We will work in partnership as you develop resilience to face anticipated and unexpected life challenges.    

I look forward to meeting you and helping you write the next new chapter of your life!

About Anna

I have taken many career and personal pivots, and I bring these experiences and education into our work together. Our sessions will be infused with compassion, patience, empathy, and humor.

My desire to practice psychotherapy stems from my wish for people to be intentional in achieving their unique potential.

I hold a PhD in Organizational Behavioural, Masters degrees in Rehabilitation Medicine (MSc) and Counseling and Psychotherapy (MA), and a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy. I have also worked as an Executive in public and private organizations.

I have a special interest in women’s mental health, and I obtained further education and a certificate as a women’s mental health specialist.

  • Solution Focused Therapy

  • Trauma Processing Therapy

  • Positive Psychology
