Therapists in M6C

I have a formidable passion for helping you build and energize a joyful, loving & creative life. My clients are high functioning, gifted, and imaginative individuals, plus HSPs. I am naturally engaged, authentic & direct. Unlike therapists who are silent and write on a pad, aloof & distant, I listen with curiosity & empathy to provide ample feed-back when you request it. You will feel at ease. I will provide you with personalized therapy, using the best technique that can help you with imagination, intuition, warmth, & effectiveness from Narrative, image-based, Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT therapies, & Mindfulness modalities.

Hey there, how are you? If you find it challenging to answer that question, that’s okay. Life is complicated! There are so many ups and downs. It can be hard keeping it all together. Balancing your emotional wellbeing with your mental, spiritual, and physical takes a lot of effort. I get that, and I am passionate about helping you navigate your journey, rediscover yourself, and see new possibilities for your life.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

I am an experienced psychotherapist and psychoanalytic candidate with a background of 20+ years in community based advocacy and counselling. My approach is relational, psychodynamic, collaborative, and trauma informed; prioritizing the development of a therapeutic relationship that fosters acceptance, trust and compassion. My approach considers relational patterns, formative experiences and relationships between social, cultural, and historical contexts and psychological well being. I currently have upcoming availability for individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
