Couples Therapy
As you know, relationships take hard work, dedication and compromise. Our couples therapy sessions focus on developing positive attitudes towards life’s challenging circumstances. Helping my patients adopt Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to reconnect with their emotions, identify negative cycles, learn to better communicate with each other, and improve the overall relationship. Clinically trained in both sex and couples’ therapy allows me to obtain an enhanced understanding of your relationship. Some common recurring issues often include the division of tasks, financial stress, and intimacy issues. My goal is to create a safe space where you and your partner feel comfortable and heard. Together we work as a team in order to find a long term solution for you and your loved one.

Social Anxiety & Assertiveness
Primarily focusing on developing a stronger sense of self in order to be confident in your personal life as well as in the workforce. At the office, something as simple as networking, negotiating, speaking to superiors, saying no at work, and establishing boundaries can be difficult for many people. In your personal life, expectations may be high and tough to meet. Whether attending a dinner party or a wedding, you may often find yourself in an uncomfortable social setting where you are expected to perform and be your best self. This has proven to be challenging for many people. Together we will develop a proper course of action to reduce social anxiety and learn to say no to your partner or those you love. In addition, I work with adults with high-functioning autism - please inquire for more information on this subject.

Sex Therapy
Understandably, a sensitive topic for many individuals. While it may sometimes feel difficult to disclose or discuss, sexual issues are more common than we think, and you are not alone. I offer consultation, assessment and treatment for many sexual issues pertaining to men and women, in couple or in individual therapy.
I treat a variety of sexual issues including pain management of Genital Pelvic Pain Disorder (GPPD); premature ejaculation and erectile disorders; female sexual arousal disorder (SIAD) and anorgasmia; and sexual identity or LGBTQ+ concerns. We can discuss how to handle mismatched sexual drives with your partner and how to talk to your partner about your sexual needs and concerns.
The goal is for you to feel at ease when discussing intimate topics. Similar to other forms of therapy, sex therapy focuses on open discussions but may also include structured sexual exercises assigned at home. Sex therapy focuses on emotions, cognitions and behaviours of the individual and couple to overcome their issues. I will help you expand your sexual repertoire, dispel sexual myths, understand sexual norms and cues, and navigate sexual relationships in a safe and comfortable environment.

JUDAISM, HALACHA & INTIMACY
If having a psychologist with knowledge and understanding of the Jewish laws concerning intimacy, fertility and women's health is important to you, then let’s work together. In consultation with a Rabbi in Thornhill and the Yoatzot in the community, I offer individual and couples’ therapy that is sensitive to Halachic law. I strive to create a private and safe space where you will feel comfortable to disclose any issues that you may be struggling with.
