I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) working with individuals and couples in Ontario. I completed my training at the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TICP), and have extensive experience working with adults from all walks of life. I have a background in education and visual art, and I love working collaboratively with clients to understand how their unique experiences in life have shaped them. I believe that the honesty and openness of a good therapeutic relationship can increase self-esteem, provide clarity and ultimately be life-changing. My goal is to foster an atmosphere where clients can speak freely about their lives and experiences without any fear of judgment. I aim to provide clients with a challenging yet supportive relationship that is empathetic, authentic and consistent. Change can be hard, but also extremely rewarding, and you don't have to do it alone.
MY APPROACH
PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
Regardless of what brings you to therapy, whether it may be feelings of stuckness, anxiety or loss, burnout, relationship issues or working through past trauma, I bring a warm, curious and non-judgemental approach to our work. I understand that each of us experiences the world based on our particular identity and life circumstances. My goal is to understand your unique experience of the world and create a space where you feel free to be your whole self.
My approach is collaborative and relational. We will explore patterns of thought and behaviour that may contribute to your current difficulties. Our work together will always be individualized to suit your specific needs and experiences. We will explore your inner world together to foster deeper self-understanding and compassion. The goal is not only to help you gain insight into your thoughts and emotions but to empower you to create a life and relationships that feel more fulfilling, meaningful and satisfying. This type of work takes courage and patience but healing and growth are possible! Let's take this journey together.
