Therapy is about having a space to explore yourself and find ways to thrive, not simply survive. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, change and healing, and my goal as a therapist is to support that journey. Sometimes that may be dealing with the past, facing challenges in the present, or it may be preparing for the future. I work side-by-side with clients as they heal from trauma, learn new ways of coping, challenge themselves, and grow into the person they want to be. I sprinkle in metaphors, science, and just a touch of humour. I am here to walk with you on your journey wherever that may lead!

Do you find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling stuck in low energy, or battling self-doubt? Anxiety can leave you feeling on edge, exhausted by racing thoughts and the pressure to “hold it together.” Depression can make it hard to enjoy things you once cared about, leaving you feeling hopeless or disconnected.

We've helped many people find relief from anxiety and depression—guiding them to feel more in control, rediscover joy, and reconnect with themselves and others.

Many people feel lost in the rhythms and uncertainties of life. Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, hurt, confusion and anxiety can overwhelm our ability to live life deeply. Sometimes our usual patterns of living are no longer working. Other times sudden changes, such as world events, a loss, life transition, trauma, or a diagnosis swamp our emotional resources. The surfacing of past events such as abuse, grief, or accidents may stop us in our tracks. These are just some of the situations that can create barriers to living the life we want, and send us searching for deeper meaning, connection and belonging.

As a social worker specializing in sex therapy, I help clients explore sex and intimacy with openness, curiosity, and compassion. We work together to uncover and understand the factors that shape sexual experiences, including early messaging about sex, cultural narratives, and individual desires. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can express their needs, confront barriers to intimacy and deepen emotional and physical connection. Whether through communication skills, self-exploration, or somatic techniques, I work with clients to determine how they can best experience fulfilling and authentic sexual lives.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
