Are you looking for a different approach to addressing your difficulties? If you are exhausted by repeated efforts to cope with symptoms and are interested in addressing what has been driving them in the first place, I believe I would be a good fit for you.

During my years practicing psychotherapy I have worked with individuals and couples, always by taking a person-centred approach and working collaboratively with my clients to achieve positive outcomes. I have training and experience in various treatment modalities including cognitive, behavioural, solution-focused and relational strategies. Currently, I predominantly use psychodynamic psychotherapy, specifically ISTDP, an evidence-based treatment that addresses underlying emotional conflicts to achieve long-term therapeutic gains. I am passionate about helping you address your specific internal dynamics that get in your way of experiencing success in implementing healthy behaviours and being the best version of yourself. 

I am experienced in working with individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues, interpersonal difficulties, grief, and life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting mothers suffering from postpartum depression as they transition to a parental role. If you are a new mother struggling with this, I can help you address the attachment and dynamic conflicts that might be part of your postpartum struggles.

If you are having relationship difficulties, I provide couples therapy using a relational therapy framework. I can help you address your interpersonal dynamics within your relationship that keep you and your partner stuck. 

As a lifelong learner, I obtain ongoing continued education through regular consultation and trainings to continue to specialize in working with my clients in an emotion-focused and psychodynamic manner from an ISTDP framework.
