My treatment specialities include but are not limited to working with depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, issues confronted in early adulthood, identity issues, gender and sexuality, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions as related to older adulthood.
Therapy can provide a path to relieving distress and gaining invaluable self awareness. I offer my patients a safe space through which they can better understand their feelings and experiences and develop skills to cope with stressors. I work predominantly as an insight-oriented therapist, understanding how the past elucidates present difficulties, but also help patients examine problematic patterns of thought or behavior when relevant. I believe in a collaborative approach to treatment, developing individualized goals with patients and regularly checking in about how they are experiencing the process of therapy.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe in the task of choosing carefully the professional that you would feel comfortable enough to share intimate aspects of your life. My empathic approach creates an environment, in which trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between analyst and patient is an important tool in the exploration and understanding of patient's past and present behaviours.

When words alone are not enough, creative explorations can provide a safe and supportive way to connect and work toward personal growth. For people who are articulate and intelligent, connecting what you know to what you feel can sometimes be surprisingly difficult. I work on connecting thoughts and feelings through a combination of talking, exploring familiar songs, creating improvised music, vocalizing, movement, visual arts, and mindfulness techniques. No prior experience in creative arts is needed to fully benefit from creative arts psychotherapy.

If you seek a therapist who just nods his or her head, and asks: "how do you feel about that?" then I am not the right choice for you. I am a "relational" psychoanalyst who listens closely to my patient's stories, and engages in active dialogue with them. Together we form a collaborative alliance to confront and overcome your fears and anxieties. I am firmly committed to a collaborative, participatory, and holistic patient/therapist relationship. As partners, we form a trusting bond to explore the problems that interfere with your ability to live a happy and healthy life.

Sometimes it's the small things that throw you off - a kind act goes unappreciated, a loved one doesn't pick up your call, someone cuts in front of you on line - any one of these situations can open a core wound, ushering in anxiety or depression. But what if I told you that you can learn to avoid falling into reactive states and move through your world in serenity and happiness? There resides in you a boundless source of love and joy - a source that together we can tap.

I address problems with a focus on results, not intentions. Resolve that if what you're doing isn't working, you'll be willing to change it. Do you want to live purposefully, or will you continue complaining about what you don't have? While I work with past issues, I'll help you live in the now in a purposeful and rewarding present onto a satisfying future. Resolve that you'll no longer allow your choices to cause you pain and fear rather than peace and joy. If you can say "I'm sick of this. I am ready" then give me a call.

There is this saying that we often hear - "Time will heal". What most find is that without intentional work, the scars remain and manifest in ways that can become unmanageable. This can look like - racing thoughts, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, feeling jittery, anxious, on edge, dissociating through social media - to name a few. If you're at the point in your life where you're looking for a change and need some support and guidance through this next stage, then seeking therapy was the right choice.

I work best with clients who are willing to explore their thoughts and feelings within the safety of an open and accepting therapeutic relationship, and who are willing to work together as a team to effect change in their lives. I have worked with persons of diverse backgrounds and I value all aspects of a person's identity - particularly aspects that have been marginalized in your family and community, and/or by society-at-large.

“Am I capable of overcoming this?” is a question those struggling with anxiety or grief may ask. You feel exhausted from carrying the weight of the world and cannot pull yourself out of the gravitational pull of habits, coping skills, or relationships that add more weight. If struggling with anxiety, this may be a familiar dance you wish to stop, or if dealing with grief related to the loss of a loved one, this may be a new dance you wish never started. Whichever is you, no wonder it seems impossible to overcome these obstacles continually thrown your way, yet there is a possibility – and I am here to support you in that discovery.

Recovery is not a solitary journey; it is about connection with self and others. As we enter into the process of therapy you will have the opportunity to experience inner connection and awareness leading to Self expansion and outer growth. I believe strongly that our primary task is to continue your journey of self exploration; to seek the wealth of potential, strength, compassion, understanding, and openness that lies within. It is your ability to connect with these that will serve as your greatest asset in obtaining whatever goals you have coming into therapy.

I work with clients who suffer from range of emotional problems, including difficulties with anger management, depression, anxiety, interpersonal, and family issues. I work with couples, families, children, and adult individuals. I use individual, group, and family therapy as treatment modalities. I view psychotherapy as a process whereby a client is assisted to explore, understand, and constructs his/her past experiences in more realistic and positive ways to help strengthen one's self-esteem. This process is achieved by creating a working environment of trust, acceptance and non judgment that fosters self-acceptance and emotional growth.

I believe that asking for help, and taking the first step with a new therapist is often the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I feel that there is not a one size fits all approach to therapy. We are all very different, we have varying life experiences and most of all we do not all process or feel things in the same way. I will help you identify your goals and objectives, and we will work towards them together. Life can become overwhelming at times and I will help you unload what can often feel like a huge the pile of dishes in the sink, but one plate at a time.

Life experiences can bring pain and conflict resulting in depression, anxiety and coping with substances. I frequently hear the expression of loneliness, emptiness and feeling unfulfilled in people's lives and the sadness, disappointment and anger over relationships with themselves, partners, family and friends that fail to satisfy those needs. Experience has taught me that feeling heard and understood generates a sense of hope and stimulates movement toward insight through exploration and examination of one's inner life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers the framework and space for this work, leading to corrective emotional experiences and a more satisfying life and relationships.
