The Centre for Psychodynamic Insights is a virtual clinic specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This approach explores the root causes of symptoms by uncovering and understanding underlying emotions through evidence-based treatment. Through collaborative dialogue, we examine unconscious thoughts and emotions shaped from childhood to the present. We work to relieve symptoms by understanding how these patterns affect current experiences, and create targeted strategies for meaningful change long-term.

Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, shame, or self-doubt? Have painful experiences or toxic relationships left you stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-blame? Is your inner critic louder than your own voice, leaving you exhausted from holding it all together?
If you’ve tried therapy before and felt reduced to a checklist of symptoms, my work is different. I see your patterns as survival strategies that once kept you safe—even if they hold you back now. Therapy is a space to slow down, feel truly heard, and make sense of the experiences that shaped you so you can move toward a life that feels fulfilling.

Hi all. I'm Dr. Sara, an experienced clinical and health psychologist. My clinical, teaching, and research work has focused on serving individuals living with chronic illness, high achieving perfectionism, grief and loss, or going through life transitions. This makes me particularly well suited to address issues that arise with medical conditions and overlapping mental health concerns and/or mental illness. I am also a good fit to help support individuals navigate life in general or identify unhelpful habits and patterns in everyday life.

As we go through difficult experiences, I believe that there is comfort in not being alone. I believe that a connection with another person can provide an opportunity to feel safe as we explore unknown parts of our lives. I am hopeful and believe that there are possibilities that are here to be uncovered in each of us. I bring generosity of spirit into my work and will meet you where you are at in your process and we will move forward in a way that feels right for you. I am open to sitting with whatever it is that you are experiencing, including those places that may feel scary, painful or overwhelming.

I help adults in their 20s-30s who want to feel happy again but are feeling stuck, lost, numb, or overwhelmed with life. My clients tell me that the pressure to choose the right degree, career, friends, or partner leads them to spiral into depression, anxiety, and other difficult feelings. They feel alone and misunderstood. They want to smile and feel like themself again, but don’t know how. They may use AI to search for answers. They need a professional therapist to direct their therapy progress and one that understands how AI can support this process.

Hi and welcome to my profile. To me, your effort to look for the right therapist for yourself shows self-compassion and courage. I wonder what you are struggling with.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist licensed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Why don't we talk? I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your path to more wellness.

* Accepting New Clients * The life you're supposed to be living seems like a pipe dream. It looks like you have everything together on the outside, but you know that in reality you're not really on top of your game. Sometimes you second-guess all of your decisions and you regularly experience your energy being so low that you don't have enough to get through the day, and you have a lot to do! Is this the best your life is ever going to be?

You’re a woman in your 20s or 30s who is ready to find a therapist who truly understands your neurodivergent brain. You’ve tried therapy before, but it often felt like you were venting without making real progress. What you need is not just someone to listen — you want a therapist who will help you process your thoughts, challenge you when necessary, and hold you accountable for genuine growth. You’ve explored various approaches — meditation, journaling, breathwork, medications, and therapy TikToks — yet something still feels stuck. You’ve been feeling this way for a long time, and you’re finally ready to make lasting changes.
