What has spared us from pain in the past often keeps us stuck and anxious in the present. Most of us wish to be free of our psychological suffering. Still, we often find ourselves treating ourselves or others poorly, despite our best interests. We all need a therapeutic relationship where we can learn to experience our emotions safely, regulate our anxiety, and turn against our defences. I provide Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a comprehensive form of psychotherapy that helps patients experience their emotions and understand themselves across a broad range of clinical concerns.

This advanced evidence-based form of psychotherapy is different from most cognitive and mindfulness therapies. It may be beneficial for you if you have found other forms of therapy to be ineffective. I am passionate about this form of psychotherapy and am committed to improving my skill through ongoing supervision, training, and video review of my work.
For patients who wish to receive cognitive or mindful therapies, I provide Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and relapse-prevention therapies.
