I analyze your handwriting (clinical graphology), memories, dreams, projective stories and other materials from you, to figure you out . . . FAST. To start, we identify personality style and inner-dynamics, then work from the map to architect change. We consider all angles: nutrition, lifestyle factors and other variables: The Big Picture. My work is technical, a type of engineering, facilitated by projective personality assessment. See my website for media, publications, etc. I deal with the gamut of problems but specialize in working with problems that have been unresponsive to conventional psychotherapy: OCD, Anorexia, etc.

**Now Accepting New Clients** Throughout life there are many factors that influence and shape the unique person we become. As a therapist, I believe in the power of self-awareness and self acceptance and I seek to assist you in the process of self-exploration and self-growth.

I value the importance of trust and empathy in a therapeutic relationship as I strive to create a safe space to share and discuss concerns.

I principally utilize a depth oriented/integrative approach that tries to understand where the patient is coming from and what caused the surface symptoms they experience.

My goal is to help solve your difficulties at the root level, rather than merely treating the surface symptoms.

There are times in our lives when we are in need of change, and the way we think, feel, or behave no longer serves us. I work with people who are aware of their issues and have a strong drive in addressing them. No matter what your reasons are for seeking therapy, I provide a client-centered, empathetic, authentic, and accepting place where you can feel safe to be yourself as you share your thoughts and feelings. Collaboratively, we will work together, at your pace, as we figure out how we could navigate and move past your reasons for seeking therapy.

Throughout my internship, I have come to meet and work with a range of clients who present with their own unique strengths and challenges. It has been during this time that I really began to appreciate the notion of meeting the client exactly where they are. With this in mind, I work from a client-centred approach such that the client guides the therapy, while I provide feedback, reflection, validation and ultimately space for them to explore all parts of themselves. An "ideal" client is one who is willing to show up, just as they are, committed to and curious about their own personal growth and potential.

Life can be difficult. Relationships, stress, dealing with systemic racism, feeling overwhelmed are all too real experiences of life. I can help you navigate through challenges and issues that come across your path. If you are feeling stuck or experiencing racism, depression, anxiety or relationship issues, I want you to know that there is hope. And healing is possible. As a second-generation Canadian, cultural sensitivity is a foundational piece of my worldview. I am trained in an anti-racist approach. I don't know everything but am willing to learn. I can help you deal with your experiences, your emotions, hurt and pain.

Our sessions will focus on exploring your strength in a non-judgmental and collaborative space. Instead of "fixing," I would like to work with you in "actualizing" your own truth as the starting point of your healing journey.
