The relationship between a counsellor and client is the most important indicator of success in therapy, and with me you will find a counsellor that is compassionate, genuine, non-judgmental, and transparent. Together we can explore the larger context of your current difficulties to help you better understand your experience, feel more agency and ability to cope, and build upon your strengths and resilience.

Are you living in a state of fear or anxiety? Reliving past conversations and events? Feeling overwhelmed when making decisions? Second guessing yourself and your judgement? Relying on others to validate choices and decisions and feeling guilty when saying "no"?

With 15 years of experience as the head counsellor at The Michener Institute, I offer professional support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and family challenges. My use of both Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives me a wide range of options for support for both individual and couples. Gestalt focuses on the 'here and now,' our body experiences and childhood patterns and helps us be present in our relationships. CBT has been rigorously tested in over 1000 studies, and is a therapy that supports depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), panic and anxiety, phobias and stress.

At times, we feel weighed down by sadness, anxiety, shame, a harsh inner critic, or not feeling “good enough”. This can sometimes occur with people pleasing, perfectionism, chronic worry, or unreasonably high self-standards. Are you a high performer, artist, athlete, dancer (or former)? Has a life transition or loss left you feeling overwhelmed? I strive to help folks like you to build a more compassionate and loving self-relationship, to process difficult life experiences, and to learn more effective coping tools to manage anxiety, mood, and stress symptoms that can get in the way of living our lives fully.

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.

You sometimes might feel lonely. You might at other times feel overwhelmed by your feelings, or sometimes you might not feel anything at all. What we feel, and how much or how little we feel can have a big impact on our lives, our well-being, and on the relationships that we have. If you want to better connect with your inner self and others, to be more aware of what you feel and how to manage big feelings, I am here to accompany you in your self-discovery by creating a supportive space where, together, we will help you experience and make meaning of your emotions.

Your relationships are like grownup playgrounds. So what stops you from accessing your pleasure? If you're feeling low in the desire department, you might be falling into people-pleasing habits, stuck and rigid, uncreative, flattened under responsibilities. Maybe you feel rigid in your body, and pain or numbness ramps up with stress. You deserve a full, juicy life. Coming from a sex-neutral stance, I use somatic techniques and creative arts therapies to help you access your innate playfulness and flexibility so you can relax into intimacy in your connections and to your own body.
