I myself have gone through several periods of anxiety and depression. However, everyone's experience of psychological struggle, including my own, is different. I want to understand your unique challenges and circumstances, and collaborate with you to chart your personal path forward.
I grew up in a Jewish community in Toronto.
Empathetic, warm, welcoming, thoughtful, thought-provoking, calm, understanding.
