Entering psychotherapy is not an easy decision. It takes a lot of courage to trust another person with your history, dreams, desires, fears, and problems. Anything that you say in session could easily be said to a mirror in your own home, and yet, it makes a significant difference to say them to another person especially when that person is explicitly there to hear it, understand it, and reflect on it. No matter your age, personality, or background, talking helps. Coming to a better understanding of your own life and its content opens doors to new possibilities and opportunities that would ...

Hamilton, ON

Psychotherapy for me is not a prescription, nor a ā€œhow-toā€ manual.  It is rather an unscripted journey that involves looking for the person that you are, a person with a story, with needs, with brokenness, and with strengths.  This search and discovery can often lead to a world that can be less burdened with constant censoring and checking for safety, and more endowed with acceptance and freedom.

Whatever brings you to seek therapy, you can be assured of a safe, welcoming, relaxed LGBTQ positive space with a non-judgmental, compassionate listener.

A supportive relationship with a therapist is an empowering experience that can help you find your way, promote personal growth and initiate positive change. 


I operate with the premise that much of life's suffering contains within it an inner meaning, waiting to be discovered, seen, and realized. And where one suffers is often the place that contains the seed of new development and personal growth. What is being asked of us is to take the steps to enter deep within ourselves, in order to see what needs be seen, feel what needs be felt, and do what needs be done. Often times it is in process of entering into ourselves that we find the "attitude" that meets our true needs. As a Jungian Analyst, I work with the unconscious contents as well as the ...

The decision to seek help is a brave one. Taking control of your life and becoming aware of who you really are through self reflection can generate benefits worthy of the challenge.

Individual therapy tends to be long-term in the psychodynamic tradition, with a focus on the subconscious, early childhood patterns, emotions and the present moment alive between client and therapist in the therapeutic alliance. In couples therapy, the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach is mapped out through distinct stages that we move through progressively. The relationship is the third client in the room and we work to change negative cycles to form new, secure attachment bonds. "It is a joy to be hidden but a disaster not to be found." D. W. Winnicott

Collingwood, ON

Psychotherapy is challenging work, it can be a difficult path to walk, but you'll have company. As children, we are molded by the world and the people around us. We adapt to this world and these people, often modelling the ways to be and to live that they have shown us. This adaptation deeply affects how we perceive ourselves and others, and informs the way we relate. In adulthood we sometimes find that what we imagined should come naturally is elusive and often confusing, and our early imprinting can feel like a poor match to how we wish to be. Our relationships may loop repeatedly through ...

Your subconscious and your emotions also live in your body and your nervous system, and we will attend to verbal and non-verbal ...

In the general divisions of medical, clinical, cognitive and depth psychological approaches, Jungian analysis falls in the latter category. We work 'psychodynamically,' that is with unconscious material (such as dreams and art) to gain both a feeling and a rational understanding of where the psyche wants to go, and where it is stymied. (There is more about this on my website.) I have a particular interest in ancestral complexes (patterns of familial psychology) and in religion.

Kitchener, ON

Therapy is a process where two hearts and minds can meet and where the client is encouraged to unfold and examine his or her life story. A therapist requires tenderness and maturity in working with clients, allowing the client to express, in his or her own time any number of emotions, so that healing and transformation can happen and they can begin to see themselves as unique human beings. Therapy moves clients towards accepting what is broken in them and finding hope for healing. We all have barriers which prevent us from seeing the parts we don't like about ourselves and from learning how ...

As a relational psychotherapist I believe that the key to happiness and contentment in life lies in our relationships with others. Understanding our relationship history, including our families of origin, as well as learning to recognize and honour how we feel, helps us to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves in connection with others. Intrinsic to this approach is a deep respect for each individual's particular reality and an appreciation of the social realities that impact their lives, such as race, class, gender and sexual difference. My personal experience is that working with a ...
