Are you in the midst of a crisis in your personal or professional life? Perhaps you are repeating unwanted patterns related to a difficult childhood that you can't quite leave behind. Or maybe you aren't sure why, but you feel disconnected and unmotivated, even confused. Psychotherapy can help you better understand yourself and integrate your thoughts and your feelings so you you can imagine and achieve a richer and more engaged life. Therapy is a real commitment of time, money, and most importantly, trust. How do you find the right therapist for you?
I work by listening carefully so that I can share the emotional texture of your inner world, hear the stories you tell yourself, and think about how your life experience has brought you to this moment. Together we find words for what has been unsaid, and has perhaps been blocking you from who you are and what you want. Then paths forward begin to appear.
If you feel ready to make the commitment to understanding yourself, accepting your unique gifts, and releasing yourself from old patterns, schedule a phone call, a video appointment, or a meeting at my downtown office. I honour the unique experience of all my clients and their courageous commitment to the truth. I would love to hear your story.

I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds. We will begin by formulating goals for the therapy, and then spend some time understanding your difficulties and where the obstacles lie. Many of my clients are struggling with acute trauma, grief, family estrangement, and depression. Others are feeling chronic anxiety and a sense of disconnection. Together we find a way forward.
