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 ...

I specialize in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for which the primary goal is to access unconscious conflicts buried in the psyche of the client so that these can be resolved. Issues are uncovered and processed by means of the therapeutic relationship. My practice is trauma informed as I have completed Level 2 in Sensorimotor Training, a therapeutic modality specifically developed to assist people who have experienced trauma - either in the form of a concrete event, or as a consequence of an acutely distressing or deprived upbringing. I work collaboratively to create trust and a sense of safety ...

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 ...

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

I have been involved with therapy for more than a decade and In private practice since 2015. I work with couples and individuals. I have also been teaching as faculty in the York University Department of Gender Women and Sexuality Studies since 2003. My therapy practice is Relationally Focused, which means that it is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of the therapy. Moreover, the therapeutic sessions draw upon our experiences of the past and these sessions bring to light how these experiences get replayed in the present often without our knowing. Whether it is a ...

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

Often these feel impossible to conquer alone and I help clients unpack with an aim to resolve these issues. My approach is psychodynamic psychotherapy, meaning I primarily use talk therapy - anything that comes to mind, including dreams, fantasies, presenting issues and even in-depth exploration of early experiences - to help ...

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 ...

In 2011-2014, I attended Gestalt training outside of Canada. Then, in 2016, I joined the Gestalt Institute of Toronto, and am nearly complete in my life-long mission to become a certified psychotherapist. I have also led numerous sessions and webinars outside of Canada since 2012, including on themes such as the impact of the subconscious on one's life.  My educational and life experiences very well guide me to my vision of unique way of working with clients and to support each client in the process.

Ken comes from the philosophy that if we develop a greater awareness of ourselves we have the opportunity to choose new possibilities, change our deeply rooted thinking patterns and respond to others with more authenticity. Before Ken started his private practice he opened a new facility for struggling youth and led a team of mental health professionals to successfully support the youth through a hands on treatment model. Currently Ken still plays an active role advising leaders and professionals in residential treatment centers on how to implement best practices. Ken also acted as the lead ...


Calgary, AB

Despair does not always yield to introspection, reflection, or fretful worry. Our demons, so to speak, must often be spoken into view, preferably in collaboration with an other, someone with an ear for this very specific kindness of listening. Together, we will seek illumination. People who come to see me, I think, understand something is not quite right in their internal worlds. The presence of these disturbances (for lack of a better word) is communicated to my clients by their unconscious selves in the form of what we have come to call symptoms like anxiety, despair, hopelessness, anger; ...
