I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar and depressive disorders, panic and phobias), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD. My niche is in personality disorders (e.g., borderline and narcissistic personality disorder). I have extensive experience treating trauma sequelas, dissociative disorders and helping individuals overcome grief. My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

Coping with life isn't always easy but can be more meaningful with someone to share your hopes and dreams with as well as your challenges and worries. Sometimes changes in moods and emotions can seem confusing and even scary in both ourselves and in others and make us question who we are and who the other person is. We are always in relationships with ourselves and with others at home, at work, in school, in our past and present. What and who do you want in your life? What brought you to where you are today and where do you want to go from here? Who do you want to be? These and other questions will be explored and entertained.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

Are you struggling to find fulfillment in some areas of your life? Are you worrying about the future? That you'll never be able to own a home? Reach financial stability? Have close relationships with family and friends? A romantic partner? Perhaps your work is leaving you with a feeling of purposelessness. You're a bright person with many goals, but you're unsure how to tackle them. Therapy can be a place to process the emotions surrounding these, process past trauma, reframe how you see yourself and reevaluate how you can take charge of your role in the things that happen around you. Things don't have to be the way they are now.

Encountering hardships and barriers to growth is common in the life cycle. As we strive to maximize our potential, we are dared to identify how to utilize our life experiences as lessons learned, versus crippling barriers. Meeting these demands & achieving one's goals is the focus of a therapeutic partnership. Such a relationship examines impasses, & simultaneously converts them to opportunities. This leads to a greater sense of fulfillment. COVID-19 lingers and confronts us with ongoing threats and concerns for the wellbeing of ourselves and others. This extraordinary time, like any new life event, demands new coping strategies.

Choosing a new therapist can be intimidating, whether it’s your first time or you’ve been in therapy forever. I respect this and try to make the process of starting therapy one that feels as comfortable as possible from our first session. I believe the most important part of being human is our ability to empathize with others, and therapy should be a space where we can tell our story and truly feel heard, understood, and validated.
