Finding the right therapist can be an emotionally draining and taxing process. If you're looking for a different therapy experience that is highly collaborative and engaging, this is the right fit for you! I like to provide space, empathy, humour, and ask reflective questions that will get your brain working a little harder. Clients often say to me: "Wow, that is a good question! Let me think about this for a moment." I also practice from a person-in-environment approach. I analyze and take into consideration of systemic factors that may be impacting your overall well-being.

Early life experiences can shape the way we think and feel about ourselves, and influence our way of being in the world. To get through difficult times, we put strategies in place, and while they're helpful at the time, they can long overstay their welcome and usefulness. Psychotherapy can help make sense of what was, what is and what's possible, making space for positive change. It can assist people struggling with depression, anxiety, anger or simply being stuck, by bringing awareness to the patterns and issues that have been standing in the way of living a fuller life.

I am a registered psychotherapist and offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I hold a PhD in Sociology, which gives me a particular appreciation for how psychological and relational difficulties are shaped by life experiences and broader social conditions. I see therapy as a unique conversation involving me listening with a non-judgmental curiosity to help you similarly listen to yourself. This approach enables us to explore the experiences and difficulties that bring you to therapy, whether that be a specific crisis, a period of transition, feelings of "stuckness," relational patterns, emotions that trouble you, or an interest in personal growth.

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 see clients with a range of issues including attachment, family conflict, disconnect, trauma, anxiety, addiction and depression. I believe that everyone has a distinct way of expressing their past experiences and challenges in their daily lives, and that it is my job to help people to examine and understand themselves, and to find new ways of being. My approach is open and supportive, and I bring creativity, compassion and a sense of wonder to our work together.

Therapy is for anyone at any moment in life where you may feel you no longer like the way that you are functioning in the world. When we are thrown by circumstances, it can be challenging to recalibrate. I work with a range of individuals and concerns, specializing in self-esteem, anxiety, relationship concerns and life transitions. My process is a team-based one, where we work together to decide on a focus of therapy. My role is to use my knowledge and skillset to help guide you towards meaningful shifts in functioning, grounded by a space of empathy, compassion, objectivity, and non-judgement.

Are you confused, unsure, or unhappy about your career? Work can contribute to your sense of fulfillment, happiness, pride, and wellbeing, or it can have the opposite effect. If you can relate to feeling stuck, demotivated, frustrated, stressed, burned out, or unfulfilled, I can help. Working with you one-on-one, I'll support you to navigate your career more successfully, make career-related decisions you’ll feel confident about, and become more effective and influential at work. Leaders (aspiring, new, and experienced), high performers, entrepreneurs, and growth-oriented individuals are some of my favourite clients.

I believe that when people understand themselves better, they can create positive change, recognize negative patterns, and make more positive life choices. In my work with clients, I aim to create deeper self-understanding through a strong, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship.

My first priority is always to help my clients feel comfortable opening up and talking about what needs to be talked about. I view all of the "work" that occurs in therapy as secondary or subsequent to the building of that relationship. I tell my clients that they may not always feel completely comfortable in sessions because it is sometimes necessary to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones and talk about things that are painful or difficult to talk about. However, you can always trust me to be warm, empathetic, and compassionate.

Do you feel like you have to fight every day just to be yourself? As a gay, transgender, nonbinary, ADHD, autistic therapist, I understand the challenges of navigating a world that doesn't always accept you. I've helped many people who grapple with their gender identity or sexual orientation, or feel out of place in a neurotypical society.
