Your inner world shapes your experience of the outer world, and vice versa. And so it makes sense to understand your inner workings, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself, and remove the barriers in the psyche that prevent you from experiencing the world in a way that feels authentic, liberated, peaceful and expansive. This is the gift of psychotherapy – whether through talk therapy or art therapy, I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences collected on your journey, as well as to spark the change you wish to see in your life.

What does it feel like to be stuck, worried, or uncertain of your life's direction? You've hoped that somewhere inside you there's tremendous potential, but right now you aren't certain how to connect with it. Feeling this way can be especially scary when it impacts your ability to fulfill, or even identify, your heart's desires. Getting in touch with difficult feelings can be transformative, and it often feels more meaningful when you explore them with a trusted therapist. Together, we will softly challenge those feelings and beliefs, while mapping out a clear path towards renewed harmony with the world.

I am a registered psychotherapist and offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I hold a PhD in Sociology, which gives me a particular appreciation for how psychological and relational difficulties are shaped by life experiences and broader social conditions. I see therapy as a unique conversation involving me listening with a non-judgmental curiosity to help you similarly listen to yourself. This approach enables us to explore the experiences and difficulties that bring you to therapy, whether that be a specific crisis, a period of transition, feelings of "stuckness," relational patterns, emotions that trouble you, or an interest in personal growth.
