Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal & integrate all parts - including shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems etc.

Our relationships are the most important thing in our lives. When its not going well, it can feel like nothing else is. That is why most of my work focuses on individuals and couples who are trying to make their partnership work again. This means assessing where you both are, who is pulling away/chasing, why this pattern exists, healing past hurts and then rewriting the story, and most importantly, creating a new way of being with each other that will last long after your therapy is complete.

I am the Treasurer of the Board of CAPT (Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapists).

Neurofeedback & Trauma Therapy: The impacts of trauma rewire the brain and nervous system to experience the world as a threatening place. This adaptation alters how we relate to ourselves and others, and it leads us away from authentic identity. Trauma includes events like past childhood abuse, emotional neglect, grief, rejection, chronic pain and illness, to name a few. You may become stressed, anxious, experience intrusive thoughts, fear, and rage. You may feel alone, easily triggered, trapped, and like there’s a void within—like you just can’t be yourself again. Yet, you have no clue that it all stems from unprocessed trauma.
