I provide psychotherapy which is grounded on listening and understanding. There is much for me to hear before I get the full picture of what is going on in your life, and lots to discover for you and me together before the time comes for my expert advice. My main discovery of the last decade is that people can come to many therapists, for many times and yet not become ready ever to say openly what is the matter. It is why I know my clients need time to assume that I am really on their side. To figure out, bit by bit, what the possible advice or solution can be and then help you to do that we decide to do, I have my basic training in client-centered psychotherapy (“by Carl Rogers”), and I am a very, very orthodox Rogerian therapist. In addition, I have studied cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectic-behavioral therapy, music psychotherapy and non-directive child play psychotherapy. I will apply in your situation that which matches your particular needs. Also, I realized that some ideas of psychoanalysis, Adlerian psychotherapy, Existential therapy and Logotherapy can be helpful as well.

I work with kids, teens, parents, and families looking to improve their relationships, feel better about themselves, or to work through difficulties that have come up.

Are you considering an assessment but don’t know if one would be beneficial to you? Or maybe you or your child were just assessed and you’re wondering what to do next?

Parenting is no small feat. While we love our children and are doing our best, parenting can be challenging and exhausting and sometimes, we can feel like we are failing. If you feel this way and wish you could do something to support your child (or yourself!) differently, you are not alone; these feelings are normal, and change is possible. As a primary school educator for over twenty years before pursuing psychotherapy, I’ve supported many children and families experiencing behavioural challenges, difficulty adjusting to change, or learning to navigate a new diagnosis.
