People often come to therapy when the ways they have used to manage emotional pain are no longer working, or have begun to affect their relationships, confidence, and ability to feel at ease with themselves, yet something keeps pulling them back into anxiety, low mood, grief, painful relationships, or emotional instability.
In therapy, we work together to explore how anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties may be connected to unconscious conflicts, early experiences, and repeated emotional patterns. Understanding these deeper roots can help alleviate emotional pain and support healing, stability, and personal growth.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, family-related challenges, those navigating life transitions such as menopause, grief and loss.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not quite yourself lately? Do you feel like you are on a "hampster wheel", loosing yourself while caring for everyone else. Maybe things look “fine” on the outside, but inside it feels a bit heavier or harder than it should. If that sounds familiar, you’re not on your own. I’m here to listen and help you make sense of things, so they don’t feel as heavy.
You might want to identify and work towards what you want for your life, talk through something that’s happening at the moment, or come to terms with experiences from your past that still feel unresolved. All of that is welcome here.

The focus of therapy is to understand the unconscious material that influences behaviour and emotions in order to foster change and promote healthy psychological functioning.

Crippling anxiety, overwhelming grief, black depression are sources of deep pain and dark suffering.

My approach is an integrative one, blending these therapeutic modalities to the specific needs of the client as well as to the times we live in: the pandemic has left many of us feeling isolated and alone and uncertain of what lies ahead.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
