You’re Used to Being the Responsible One
Capable on the outside. Carrying more than you show on the inside.
You’ve handled a lot in your life, and people likely see you as steady and dependable. But lately, it feels harder to manage the constant mental load — overthinking decisions, replaying conversations, or quietly questioning your relationships or direction. You tell yourself you should be able to handle it, yet part of you feels stretched, tired, or unsure.
Hi, I’m Karen
Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Art Therapist offering in-person sessions in North York and online across Ontario.
I work with capable, thoughtful adults who are used to carrying a lot on their own. In our sessions, you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have everything figured out. My approach is grounded, conversational, and reflective — creating space to understand your patterns, ease internal pressure, and move toward choices that feel more aligned with who you are now.
What therapy with me feels like
A calm, collaborative space to think, reflect, and explore what matters most to you.
Sessions are conversational and reflective, giving you space to notice what’s happening beneath the surface without needing to have it all figured out. Together, we’ll explore your values, strengths, and priorities — helping you make decisions, navigate change, and take steps that feel aligned with who you truly are. You’ll leave with greater clarity, steadiness, and practical insight to support your daily life and long-term goals.
Individual Psychotherapy & Art Therapy for Adults
In-person in North York. Online across Ontario.
If you often feel stretched, second-guess decisions, or quietly question your relationships or next steps, therapy offers a space to pause and gain clarity. Together, we explore what matters most to you — your values, strengths, and priorities — and use them to guide choices, navigate change, and move toward goals that feel authentic. You’ll learn practical ways to quiet your inner critic, respond to yourself with steadiness, and reconnect with the person you want to be in both work and relationships. Whether you prefer to meet in-person or online, I’m here to support you.
Support for Adults Carrying More Than They Show
Helping you slow down, understand patterns, and respond to yourself with clarity and confidence.
Many adults I work with appear capable and steady on the outside but feel stretched, uncertain, or self-critical beneath the surface. Therapy provides a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your values and strengths so you can make decisions, navigate change, and move forward with more confidence.
High Internal Pressure & Overthinking
When your mind doesn’t turn off and you replay conversations or second-guess decisions, even though you’re doing your best.
Relationship Uncertainty
Trying to decide whether to stay, leave, or redefine what’s working — without losing yourself in the process.
People-Pleasing & Self-Doubt
Struggling to trust yourself, say what you really want, or follow through on your own priorities.
Life & Career Transitions
Navigating change, burnout, or the quiet sense that something needs to shift, while staying aligned with your values.
Grief & Complex Emotions
Holding loss, regret, love, anger, and uncertainty all at once — and finding ways to process and move forward.
Take the Next Step Toward Clarity and Confidence
Book a brief Inquiry Call to explore whether working together feels like the right fit. Together, we can help you navigate the mental load, make decisions that align with your values, and respond to life’s challenges with greater steadiness and confidence.
