Learning about yourself is an enlightening and important process. Therapy is personal. It’s about your life, passions, desires, and challenges. Finding the right therapist for you is key in your therapeutic success. My strength as a psychologist comes from my ability to build relationships of trust with patients, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and healing, while leveraging my experience in both clinical assessment and talk-therapy to design an approach that creates momentum.

“Smooth seas don’t make good sailors”--It's a bitter truth-- No One escapes the challenges of Life. "What’s the purpose of therapy?” I believe we are all leaders of our own lives. Whether we choose to believe so or not, we are still leading our lives everyday with the choices and decisions we make. We can either decide to make unconscious decisions, or we can finally learn about ourselves, and take charge by making more conscious decisions that will improve the quality of our lives. Therapy is learning about and then empowering that silent leader within you. "Life is a dance between what we can control and realizing what we cannot"

One of the most common challenges in developing a relationship is finding a way to become closer to your partner without sacrificing your own individuality. It’s worth noting that 69% of all arguments in a relationship stem from differences between the two individuals involved, such as conflicting desires, needs, upbringings, values, priorities, and perspectives. There are always three perspectives in a relationship: yours, your partner’s and the one when both perspectives can sit side by side. Common sources of relationship stress include lack of communication, unmet expectations, difficulty resolving issues, and lack of intimacy.

Do you feel like you are living in misalignment with the things you care about? That you're living with unmet potential and spend time focusing on things that don't match your values? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected and stuck. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions without procrastinating and delaying. I work with clients to improve their overall performance and life satisfaction.

Would you like to feel motivated by life? Cultivate genuine, loving relationships? Feel comfortable in your skin, regardless of what life throws your way? Well you’re certainly not alone! Connection, self-esteem, and self-actualization have all been identified as human needs—essential to our mental health and well-being. Unfortunately, certain emotional, behavioural, or relational patterns can act as barriers to these needs, quelling our personal growth, and leaving us confined to oppressive cycles of anxiety and distress. Relate to any or all of the above? I think we all can—and perhaps I can help.

Clients are more than an issue or a diagnosis, and therapy needs to reflect this. People need to be understood in their entirety, and therapy should adapt to the whole of what they present. Clients are working to overcome the barriers of mental health struggles, while also trying to function in relationships, work, school, and other important domains of life; I want to help them thrive in all of these settings.

Developing and maintaining relationships is important for living a fulfilling and meaningful life. However, relationships can also be difficult at times. Many of the people I support might be having heated arguments, unsure about their relationship, struggling with desire and intimacy, and have been hurt by a loss of trust. I also support loved ones who are looking to deepen their connection and get the most out of their lives with the people that matter most. In addition to supporting people with relationships, I have a focused interest in men's issues.
