I have a passion for helping children, teens, and young adults navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in psychoanalytic theory, which allows me to delve deep into the unconscious mind to uncover the root causes of emotional distress. However, I also believe that creativity can be a powerful tool in therapy, which is why I incorporate art, play, and other expressive techniques into my work. Additionally, I draw on a range of other therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, to meet the unique needs of each client.

I have been in your shoes! Becoming a psychoanalyst is a long process that takes so much inner work: as a requirement for my psychoanalytic training, I had to go through my personal analysis.
Deep wounds need "Depth" work to heal! In psychoanalytic therapy we look at the immediate issues, but also the deeper issues to make a deeper change since the aim is for you to find yourself, gain insight, and explore the upsetting recurrent patterns that impact your emotional life and mental health. Psychoanalytic therapy is a journey we undertake together! But it is not a walk in the park and I have the experience of it.

Developing a new relationship with your inner world can feel overwhelming and almost impossible at times. It is important to find a therapist that can help you explore your concerns with care, attention and support. My approach to psychotherapy is based on many years of training in both psychology and education. My passion for psychology led me to private practice after 20 years in the education sector. My role as a Principal of French Immersion Schools helps me establish strong therapeutic alliances with clients based on diverse interpersonal skills and a passion for the human condition.

Do you often feel misunderstood and under-appreciated? Do you long for more connection in your relationship, but struggle to express your feelings and needs effectively? You want good things for yourself: great relationships, a healthy routine, a satisfying career path. You deserve all of this – and yet, your efforts are not getting you the results that you want. You may think that others are not cooperating with you, or that the world is unfair. And while sometimes that's true, your mood, self-esteem, and overthinking brain also may have other plans for you, making it difficult to move forward.

Anxiety. Depression. Panic. Rage. Heartbreak. They make life feel chaotic, frightening, and lonely. Intense emotions can seem to take over our bodies completely. We might lunge into anger or spiral into self-doubt and not know how to get ourselves out. But it doesn't have to be that way! Here's how life could feel instead: like you have easy access to your kind, calm and rational thoughts; you have stable close relationships, and all the motivation you need to create the life you want.

I am an existential therapist which means I am listening in particular for the ways you may be struggling with meaning-making in your life and with issues related to grief & loss and overwhelm. I am also trained in the neuro-biological, somatic treatment of trauma so we will spend time together grounding and building skills in your awareness of your own sense of safety in given contexts. Sessions with me feel conversational and will often involve humor despite the heavy content woven in. I will ask questions to help you recognize themes in your experience.

I believe that we all experience discomfort in our life. It can be physical, mental or emotional but it is all connected. Feeling down, stuck, angry, hurt or sad is a part of being human but it doesn't meant we cannot do something about it. Injuries are a normal part of life. Some are caused by us and some are caused by others, some are physical and some are emotional, some heal quickly while others seem to never go away but there are things we can do to help or hurt the healing process. Using a variety of techniques, we can work together to develop a recovery plan that works for you.

I offer psychodynamic group therapy. Members often have histories of growing up in invalidating or otherwise harmful environments in which they were not heard, and rarely attuned to. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, attachment injuries, heightened shame, existential questions, and have a desire to develop a better relationship with themselves along with others - they have largely moved beyond immediate trauma responses and are looking to explore more deeply.

You want to pull yourself out, but you also want to find out why you fell in. Except for you don't know how. Navigating struggle isn't easy, particularly when it requires new skills and deeper insight.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
