"Analyze your handwriting (clinical graphology), memories, dreams, and other materials (you submit) to understand who you are and what makes you tick. At the outset,we identify personality style and inner-dynamics, then work from the map we construct to architect desired change. This work is technical, like pilates, a type of engineering process, facilitated by projective personality assessment (video below).See my website for media, publications, more details. I deal with the gamut of problems but specialize in working with problems that have been unresponsive to conventional psychotherapy. These include OCD, Anorexia and more garden variety mental health symptoms."

"Change and solutions are possible! Help is available. Psychotherapy addresses a variety of issues and I can help you with everything from anxiety to depression to life and relationship issues to addiction management and more. Often the hardest part is simply making the decision to begin. I offer a unique approach; in addition to traditional office visits, I see individuals and couples on SKYPE. Many people enjoy the added benefits of 'meeting' online; reduced travel time to and from their appointments, greater scheduling flexibility and being able to continue whether they are feeling under the weather or away on vacation."

"Providing a balance of support and challenge, my approach to healing is holistic and comprehensive. I believe that each individual has all of the inner resources they need to achieve a sense of balance and equanimity. My role is merely to provide a safe, non-judgmental container in which they can reach their own integration - cognitively, emotionally and somatically. I aim to assist the individual's journey-making process through offering new ways at looking through the lens which often gets obscured by many mitigating factors. Clarity is the goal."

"I am a relational, attachment-based psychodynamic therapist, trained in a number of other therapeutic approaches as well. As each person is unique, I respond to each person as they are and in their own terms. I don't have a template that I apply to all cases, but am flexible and responsive, engaged and engaging with each person's unique way of experiencing themselves and the world. I have worked with depression, anxiety, all forms of emotional and physical abuse and trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm (including eating disorders and addiction), identity and relationship crises."

"We are living in difficult times. Many people today are feeling alienated from themselves and others, feeling anxious or depressed. Some are feeling little or nothing; others are overwhelmed, having difficulties with relationships, or they're confused about their direction in life. Wherever you are, I will meet you there with kind attention and encouragement, and together we will unravel your tensions and discover how to help you find your inner strength and resourcefulness. I have been practising as a Registered Social Worker/Psychotherapist for over 20 years and have helped many people find greater health and fulfillment in life."

"Dear Reader: The reason I get out of bed every morning is not because I believe life is easy - but that it is difficult. What makes life difficult is the fact, that it presents an endless series of problems which require solutions. The very process of confronting and solving life's problems can be a painful one; at times full of sadness, confusion, anxiety, hurt, anger, fear and loneliness. These are uncomfortable feelings, sometimes highly distressing and can equal the worst kind of physical pain. Fearing the suffering involved, almost all of us have attempted to avoid confronting these problems."

"You may feel like your heart is broken, like you'll never recover, but you are NOT broken! Hearts can be mended.... I can help.

You are working so hard to navigate all the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that make you human and you’re not alone. If you are curious about understanding your emotions, healing those hurt pieces of you, or leaning into the hard times, I am here to walk that path with you."
