Relational psychotherapy can be an effective tool when grappling with: anxiety, care taking/giving tendencies, narcissistic and neglectful parenting, attachment, self-sufficiency, hypervigilance, isolation, authenticity, masculinity, meaninglessness, depression, shame, complex emotional and intergenerational trauma, identity, and existential angst. My practice is informed by an attachment, trauma, and neurobiological perspective and grounded in mindfulness and empathy. Additionally, my approach considers the wider social, political and economic context of your relational world.

I see people with a wide range of problems that include building satisfying relationships, figuring out how to work towards the job you want, parenting, relating to aging parents.
I see people who want better relationships with themselves, those close to them, friends and families. Sometimes people are not quite certain what is getting in the way of having those better relationships and sometimes people know. Often there is some emotional issue, either from the past or one arising in the present that is getting in the way. Many people want to feel more connected, have fewer conflicts in their relationships. In families, sometimes there are emotional patterns or behavioural patterns that are getting in the way of being more connected with each other.

I'll bring to our work my life experience with career transitions, as well as with parenting, bi-cultural families and issues of identity.
Do you feel stuck, anxious, or unfulfilled? Although many of us learn to avoid pain, few of us learn the road to more lasting relief. Therapy is a powerful way to bring clarity to your inner thoughts, feelings and hopes as you actualize a more peaceful and purposeful life. I work with people seeking to move into healthy relationships, anyone seeking to effect change, and people overwhelmed by maladaptive patterns in their lives. Drawing from my training and experience, we'll devise a unique plan to develop strategies toward achieving your goals.
