I am the Treasurer of the Board of CAPT (Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapists). I've come to this professional life as a therapist after years as an English instructor (ESL), server, and professional musician. Many of us these days are feeling depressed and/or anxious about life and how to move forward. I know that it requires courage to trust another person with your story, but there is so much to be gained from speaking about it. Together, we can work to discover a deeper sense and better understanding of who you are. When you're ready, I'll be ready as well and we can work to change your life for the better.

I guide my clients toward an understanding and acceptance of (being with) their emotional experience so that they feel complete, free and more connected to others. Engaging in therapy with me involves lots of warmth and empathy, which allows my clients to freely express and understand their experience. I act as a mirror to help clients feel seen and to call out unhelpful behaviours. Present ways of relating become easier when we heal emotional wounds. I use empirically supported treatments that treat difficult emotions such as sadness, anger, and fear (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy).

I often work with people who want to understand themselves and make a shift from worry and panic, avoidance and withdrawal, shame, overcontrol and rigidity, pleasing and appeasing, and criticism and defensiveness.

You may be an adult experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, or the lasting impact of trauma, feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life transitions. You might be questioning meaning, identity, or direction—often during midlife, migration, or relational challenges. You seek a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns shaping your emotional life. I view those who come to therapy not simply as clients or patients, but as individuals navigating personal suffering in a complex world. My work supports the growth of self-awareness and the exploration of underlying difficulties that may limit one’s sense of agency and potential.

One of the greatest lessons I've learned through my own healing journey is just how much we carry alone. We become stuck in patterns that leave us questioning ourselves, feeling emotionally drained, disconnected and lonely. We may find ourselves giving so much to others that we lose touch with our own needs. My own journey of personal growth and ongoing education informs the work I do with clients today. I recognize that every person brings a unique story and lived experience to therapy, and I tailor our work together to your individual needs and goals for healing and growth.

Does it feel risky to have certain emotions, especially towards people you care about? Does frustration often lead to tears, self-criticism, or self-doubt? When triggered by someone in your life, do you experience anxiety? Do conflicts in relationships result in headaches, stomach issues, tension, or other forms of bodily distress? Or cause you to feel down or depressed? If any of these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. Over decades of practice, I've seen time and again that clients come to psychotherapy having suffered enough and possessing incredible potential for change. Change is possible, and therapy can help.

Are you feeling stuck, rejected, or undervalued while you pursue your desires and relationships? Do you find yourself trapped in a cycle of comparing yourself to others, feeling inferior, and struggling to fit into societal norms? You're not alone. Many of us have beliefs from childhood that dictate what success should look like with work, school, and relationships. If these expectations don't align with what you truly want, it can lead to panic, overwhelm, and a sense of not belonging. Together, we can challenge these beliefs and uncover the person you authentically are, without fear of judgment from others.
