We often look for therapy when something in our emotional life stops making sense. We might feel caught in grief or anxiety, or find ourselves reacting more strongly than we expected. A feeling returns, a pattern repeats, or something unsettles us without a clear reason. These moments are rarely isolated. They grow out of early relationships that continue to shape how we feel now. Much of what troubles us in the present began long before we had the words for it. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers space to look closely at these patterns, to understand why they keep showing up and how they might begin to shift.
In this work, the pace is slower. It helps you stay with feelings that are hard to name or easy to overlook. In our sessions, we look closely at what you feel and how it shows itself now, including how earlier relationships continue to shape your experience. Change comes gradually, as what has been longstanding becomes clearer and less constricting.
My clinical work is grounded in psychoanalytic training at the Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis. I'm also an academic with a research focus on collective trauma and memory, and this shapes how I listen. I am attentive to how experience is formed not only by individual history, but by the stories, losses, and identities we inherit and strive to change.
