If you are wondering if your life is "on the right path," you are not alone. Support and awareness in times of change means that the change process reflects your values and hopes for life. Therapy includes understanding two kinds of stories: the external stories that are told about us (usually these are very unfair!) and the internal stories that emerge in response (usually these are overly protective!). I will help you to understand your Self and all the parts of who you are, increasing your ability to generate inner wells of autonomy, confidence and peace. With this knowledge, you're equipped to manage whatever life throws at you.

With a childhood spent observing the ins and outs of human behavior, my fascination with psychology sparked at an early age. Most of my clients are dealing with trauma, narcissistic abuse, challenging relationships, emotional distress, burnout, and substance use. I also work with individuals with personality disorders (narcissism, borderline, and antisocial) and neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, and giftedness).

Having been a client myself, I know that counselling can be enormously transformative and rewarding. At the same time, I also understand that it can require incredible courage, which is why I consider it an honour and a privilege to hold space for those with whom I work. My approach emphasizes nonjudgment, empathy, and respect for all clients, as well as their sense of safety and genuine connection in the room. Many of these folks are seeking support as they navigate issues related to relationships, interpersonal conflict, masculinity, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Do you judge yourself harshly? Do you feel that you're never good enough? Do you think you are responsible for the way another person feels or behaves? Do you focus outside yourself for love or security? Are you constantly seeking approval and affirmation? Change takes a lot of hard work and effort, but it is possible, and with the right type of counselling, you can get what you want from life. Together we will create a safe space where I will help you discover what's blocking your growth, heal old wounds, and change old patterns that no longer serve you.

Living an examined life is not easy but the journey of understanding oneself is incredibly rewarding. If you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns or struggling to work through emotions, then you've come to the right person. Perhaps you've experienced trauma or difficult relationships, or maybe you are looking for more out of your life and can't seem to find your way. Whether you're navigating personal relationships, learning to love yourself more fully, or trying to make sense of your own mental health, I can help. "Troubled? Then stay with me, for I am not." - Hafez

In over thirty years working as a psychologist, I have become convinced that the most effective way to help others is through a collaborative approach. When the client and therapist work together to find solutions, the emphasis is placed on the client’s individual perspective and the strengths and successes they have already achieved. At the core of therapy, I believe, is a non-judgemental and compassionate view of how everyone’s personal journey involves overcoming suffering and moving towards self-acceptance, empowerment and emotional well- being. I also provide Supervision for therapists.

Whether you’re experiencing crisis, challenge, unrelenting dissatisfaction, dysregulation characteristic of unresolved trauma, or the desire for safety, belonging, intimacy and autonomy, my goal as a therapist remains the same: to support a shift from temporary coping strategies to healing strategies that provide lasting resolutions and transformative results. We have been taught that coping strategies such as isolation, masking, mental illness, and substance abuse are personal failures or inadequacies.

Human beings, on the whole, are extraordinarily complex. I believe that we each carry within us depths that we do not necessarily draw on in our day-to-day movements, be it by choice, or by a certain unawareness – when what is needed to access our full capacities has not yet been discovered. When feeling stuck, it can be important to be reminded of our resilience and our capacity to change, to flow in the midst of flux.

Are you someone that identifies as LGBTQ+, seeking an outlet to express one’s worries? Are you a racialized person struggling to find someone you can speak to about life challenges? Have you reached a roadblock in your communication with a romantic partner? LGBTQ+ and racialized folks are often limited in spaces that allow them to feel fully seen. With couples, there are often difficulties figuring out where to start in managing conflict. Through a collaborative therapeutic stance, I am to challenge such difficult realities by supporting clients to fulfill their desired goals.
