“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming” (Helen Keller). I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist/psychoanalyst and physician trained in Germany (not licensed in Canada). I offer treatment for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, with a focus on chronic PTSD, as well as difficulties in relationships and life transitions (i.e: retirement). Together, we explore how past experiences shape current patterns in relationships, thoughts, and emotions, connecting past and present to foster a more grounded and integrated sense of self. I offer a safe space, in person or virtually, for thoughtful exploration
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy and tailored to your individual needs. Together, we explore how you experience yourself and others, deepen emotional awareness, and understand recurring patterns that no longer work. This process supports meaningful, lasting change and greater flexibility in how you relate to yourself and those around you.
Seeking help can feel daunting, especially when difficulties feel overwhelming. In our work, I offer a thoughtful and confidential space to explore what is troubling you and to better understand yourself and your relationships. If this resonates, you are welcome to reach out.
