Accepting new clients! My psychoanalytical practice is grounded in the belief that long-standing, repetitive issues — those that seem to resist resolution despite your best efforts — are most effectively addressed by uncovering unconscious motivations that drive thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. I work with challenges like stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity confusion, loss, addictions, physical illness, and family-of-origin issues.

The idea of seeking professional counselling and therapy can sometimes be intimidating for many. That is why I help clients by providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain insight into their problems, develop coping skills, and make positive changes in their lives. I also provide support and guidance to clients as they navigate through difficult life transitions, such as divorce, loss, or career changes.

Life can be hard and finding a therapist who truly hears you can be challenging. You might feel that no one understands what you're going through. Experiencing pain alone may leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or numb as the days pass. Eventually the experience may feel like a never-ending rollercoaster with more downs than ups. However, seeking therapy takes strength and courage, and each part of you is welcomed (even your most hurtful parts or the parts you might avoid). Sometimes help is needed to cope with life obstacles, manage interpersonal relationships, regulate your emotions, and heal from your traumatic experiences.

Accepting Clients! Virtual Only- Many find it challenging to confront their past trauma due to feelings of fear or shame, often viewing these memories as a “black box” they’re reluctant to open. My approach is to validate these fears and build a strong relationship grounded in trust and safety. By creating a supportive environment where you won’t be pressured to explore areas you're not ready to face, you’ll feel more comfortable and understood. As you gradually open up about your past at your own pace, you'll be able to connect how these experiences impact your current situation, paving the way for healing and personal growth.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).

The weight of our experiences, choices, and life circumstances can get heavy at times. During these periods it can be difficult to see outside of our pain, to choose an alternate path, or to create meaning. In therapy, I work with adults, who are struggling with common issues such as: depressed mood, anxiety, stress, self-criticism, feeling disconnected, relationship dissatisfaction, and parenting issues. I will work with you to explore ways for you to feel more confident in your choices, as well as connected to yourself and the important people in your life.
