It is so easy to lose True North when the storms of life blow. Sometimes you need a better compass, map, keel, or captain to guide the battered vessel toward a safe harbour, or even guide you toward a new continent. On this grand voyage called life, winds of depression, anxiety, trauma, aimlessness, or uncertainty can threaten your capacity to cope. Knowing there is a deep current ever guiding you helps restore your resilience. This deep inner work will better equip you to read patterns and ride out the storms.

This might look very different person to person, as there is no one-size-fits-all; however, I do strive to function from a relational, psychoanalytic, sometimes Jungian, feminist, anti-racist and queer-positive framework, and do my best to meet you where you are, as you are.
Hi! A bit about me: I work predominantly with individuals who suffer from the effects of abuse and trauma and are ready to take steps on their therapeutic journey. I work with those who suffer from anxiety, low self-esteem or lack of sense of self, complex trauma, eating disorders, chronic relationship issues, sexual abuse, adult children of alcoholics, and BPD. If you do not identify with any of these words, that's okay too - I welcome any clients who is open to this work, and offer a free consultation or a first full session at a reduced rate to see if my personality and approach will be right for you.

My approach borrows mostly from Psychoanalytic style of work which goes beyond symptom reduction, helps the person make sense of their inner conflicts and create lasting change in oneself.
Coming to therapy is not an easy decision to make for some of us. One wonders if one's problems are "big" enough. Diagnostically some of these issues might be depression, unexplained anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, personality disorder, bipolar disorder and the like. On the inside it might look & feel like identity related issues, a sense of feeling "stuck", feeling of emptiness, difficulty in relationships, feeling not in control of oneself. At times it seems what creates an emotional upheaval is something that happens on the outside, like losing a job, moving to another country or loss of a loved one.

Employing psychoanalytic psychotherapy through talk and play, I create an environment where children can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
As a child psychotherapist, my approach involves keen observation of a child's play, drawings, words, and behavior. Through this process, I help children verbalize the thoughts and emotions underlying their challenging behaviors. I tailor my methods to each individual child or family, ensuring an age-appropriate approach. Maintaining a neutral and non-directive stance, I create an atmosphere where children and adolescents feel free to express themselves without fear of punishment or rejection. This fosters trust and understanding, allowing them to communicate their hopes and fears ultimately shaping their perception of the world.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy occurs less frequently, and can occur weekly, twice weekly and biweekly.
The therapeutic encounter fosters acceptance of what has, or has not happened to you in your life. It's a transformative experience that allows you to know yourself profoundly and helps you move forward in your life. I offer two styles of therapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Both modalities emphasize identifying and working through your internal conflicts and puzzling self-sabotaging behaviours. Using dreams, free association and our experience of the "here and now" of our relationship, we work together to address what prompted you to seek help.

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?

Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?

Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?

Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?

Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
