Life has its challenges and reaching out for help can be intimidating. As a therapist I recognize the importance of creating a safe space through compassion, and of building a sound therapeutic connection in order for change to occur. That connection is built through meeting clients where they are at emotionally and motivationally, by remaining a neutral observer, and by allowing the client to set the pace for meeting identified goals. Having this safe place to gain insight and build on your coping skills can help you better manage mental health and to move beyond feeling stuck.

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.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors

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.
