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 ...

I work to create a nonjudgmental, safe and comfortable space where you can be yourself and talk about issues and what you might be struggling with that might feel difficult or embarrassing. I take a holistic approach to treatment in that I look at my client as a whole and not just one particular symptom or diagnosis.

Kitchener, ON

I believe when we accept and honor our feelings and embrace all facets of ourselves - deep healing and transformation can occur. Many of us have forgotten how to feel our emotions, how to let them move through our bodies like pure energy forms - letting anger churn, hope to blossom, grief to contract, disappointment to gut us, or sit with unmet longing as if it were an old friend. My approach as a relational therapist is to simply be with what's true for you, moment to moment. I practice this through supportive listening and staying with you in whatever comes up. I will tend to your heart and ...

I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy, which works with the unconscious, looking at things such as dreams, wishes, desires, and fears.

Meeting weekly allows us to create a cohesive conversation where we can explore your experiences in-depth. My office is a safe space where you will be able to move at ...

I specialize in clients with relationship, self-esteem, anxiety, sex, body image and family dynamic challenges.

Maybe you want change. Or you're striving to reach your potential, and something is in your way. Perhaps you simply don't want to struggle anymore. Together we will use this unique conversation to create space for you to find a new way forward. In our busy lives the opportunities to stop and reflect can feel scarce. Therapy is a space to do just that: to make sense of your experiences, to cultivate the capacity to self-reflect, and to open your mind to the things you don't yet know about yourself. We combine this with a psychotherapist's attentive and particular way of listening to you and ...

A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind. - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi From my experience of therapy, discovery for my clients comes from listening to their own ideas, their own thoughts, their own intuitions about their life stories, in conversation with another whose curiousity helps unfold what is within that story. My experience has been that the examined life can lead to discovery that is surprising and unknown. Therapy is a private and unique collaboration where you can consider your life within a supportive, confidential setting. I hope to provide a flexible, empathic ...

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 ...
