If you’re looking to find balance, clarity, and a sense of belonging, I’m here to help.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, people-pleasing and emotion regulation? Do you feel like you’re not quite good enough, you can never actually reach your goals, or you just can’t seem to do “life” right? Maybe you experienced trauma from growing up in a household with emotionally immature parents. Maybe you have late-diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, and chronic feelings of being “defective” loom over you constantly. You need a therapist who will help you actually PROCESS what's going on, not just listen. You need somebody who can hold you accountable to making real change in your life, and call you on your shit.

Are you a 25-35 year old woman in Ontario who grapples with the past, was raised by emotionally immature (or narcissistic) parents, struggles with setting boundaries, finds herself in painful codependent relationships, and feels responsible for the emotions of others while neglecting her own? Your body is always in fight or flight mode, and you can't seem to break the unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck. It's infuriating to intellectually know what to do, and not be able to DO it (or stick to it). Your brain is in overdrive and you're stuck in "freeze", numbing out with wine, weed, social media, alcohol, or anything that works.

Accepting new clients! My psychoanalytical practice is grounded in the belief that long-standing, repetitive issues — those that seem to resist resolution despite your best efforts — are most effectively addressed by uncovering unconscious motivations that drive thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. I work with challenges like stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, identity confusion, loss, addictions, physical illness, and family-of-origin issues.
