Do you sometimes sit in meetings afraid that everyone can see that you’re a fraud? You sweat profusely at the thought of approaching others? Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your identity after major changes or transitions? Life doesn’t come with a user manual. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming or confusing to make sense of the anxiety and stress that overtake our mind. Major changes that happen to us, including immigration, job loss, parenthood, unanticipated caregiving or losing a loved one can sometimes lead us to feel lost or stuck in place. Contemplating a life we want for ...

I work best with people asking some variation of the following questions:What am I doing with my life? How did I get here? Why is this happening to me? Is this it? What the hell is going on? – all honest questions and great starting points for developing more depth, meaning and purpose in your life.I have a ton of experience in working with those who’ve “lost the plot” of their existence in that they are trying to figure out how to steer themselves and their lives in a direction that works better for them.There are so many reasons why we might feel disoriented and lose direction, but major ...

My practice employs both counteractive change models, step approaches, as well as models of change and growth that focus on transformational change. We bring in all levels of the brain, the early brain (sometimes called the reptilian brain), the limbic system, and the neocortex. Our sense of ourselves derives from the levels of the body, emotion and cognition and I work intergratively on all three levels including the transpersonal level. We look at symptoms but realize them as nested within the whole person's larger and deeper implicit framework. We might start with assessing symptoms, but ...

I am a Jungian Analyst and a member of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts. In a Jungian analysis the utmost respect is given to each person as an individual. We each come with our own life story informed by our family background, cultural and religious heritage, our personality type and our sexual and gender preferences. Our own relationship to our experience, both inner and outer, is important to who we are; a Jungian analysis takes these factors into account. Everyday life challenges us with conflicts, sorrows, and losses that may lead to us losing contact with important parts of ...

Finding the right therapist can be difficult. For that reason, I offer an initial 40 minute consult for free. My LGBTQ positive practice is in Mind/Body Focused and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

In June/15 I presented a workshop on Dark Erotic Fantasies and Shame at The Guelph ...

I'm a Psychotherapist, an artist, and a meditator. My approach to therapy is intuitive and compassionate. Sessions with me can go deep, tread gently, and even be fun. Whether we struggle with anxiety or body dysmorphia, grief or trauma, shifts and changes can begin to emerge within us when we meet our suffering with openness and compassion. In my experience – both with my clients and with my own healing – there is a profound relief in the ‘letting go’ that comes when we reconnect to the parts of ourselves we have pushed away or ignored. This reconnecting allows us to move forward with a ...

Usually when people seek therapy, all of the smouldering struggles that are part of modern life have heated up and boiled over, sometimes bringing on a heath crisis, a relationship crisis, a career crisis, a spiritual crisis. Depression. Anxiety. Loneliness. Fear. Frustration. Blocked creativity, low self esteem. This intensity can either accelerate resilience and growth, or it can destablize your life and sense of well being. Or both! We all developed coping strategies and defense mechanisms in our early life, and these unconsciously shape our present life and affect our world view and ...
