I am a Psychologist/Registered Marriage Therpist in private practice. I work with individuals and couples dealing with life's challenges, losses and inevitable transitions. I help clients get clarity of their situation, identify and modify self-defeating patterns of behaviour. They begin to recognze the negative interaction cycles that keep them stuck. My goal is to build trust, emotional safety, empathy and forgiveness. For relationships too wounded to repair, I will help couples separate with dignity and respect. I use an integrative approach combining psychodynamic / EFT/famiy systems /CBT therapies. I also offer online sessions.

Your situation, needs, obstacles &goals are unique to you. Therefore the approaches used are tailored to best fit your specific needs. Before we explore the changes you want to make in your unique situation, we explore together to understand the nature of your problems or concerns in great depth and detail. I provide the safe, strictly confidential space for you to freely explore your issues at a pace that best suits you, while also encouraging your growth. I deal with issues related to anxiety, depression, stress, coping skills, relationships, changes after marriage , sexuality, existential questions, finding meaning after loss & other areas, with individuals and couples.

I am a teacher and supervisor in the field, so I am familiar with a range of intervention skills to help my clients with a wide variety of difficulties.
