Find a Therapist

You are an intelligent, competent business professional, yet despite your best efforts your life isn’t feeling the way you’d hoped. Perhaps you’re struggling with relationship difficulties at home or at work, career indecision, substance abuse, or chronic anxiety. I specialize in working with people with backgrounds and struggles similar to yours.

“Human beings have an inbuilt propensity toward self-realization. If obstacles are removed, the individual will develop into a mature, fully realized adult, just as an acorn will develop into an oak tree.“ – Irvin D. Yalom,The Gift of Therapy

Starting therapy is a big step. You may have feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, or disconnection with others; you may struggle with work or family. Whatever the matter, psychotherapy can be a way to implement change, a way to generate a better understanding of yourself and your place in the world.

At times we can be strangers to ourselves; our actions and responses seem mysteriously out of place and "not me”. If we can slow down enough to approach these moments with curiosity and without judgement, perhaps we no longer have to remain under the thumb of our feelings. Therapy helps slow things down.

Are you seeking change in your life, work, or relationships? Therapy can help. Exploring your depressed, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed feelings can help you understand and shift what led to those responses.

It takes courage to embark on a journey of self-discovery. I will meet you where you are, and listen and learn about how you feel and how you see the world.

How are you feeling about your life, your career, your relationships, your dreams? Longing to feel more clear, calm, hopeful and alive? I offer a highly effective neuro-biologically based approach to psychotherapy. Over time, this method enables clients to establish an internal stability, a sustainable optimism and a sense of forward momentum.

Many clients entering therapy wonder, “How can only talking help me?” The increased sense of well-being we gain in therapy is more than just a worded experience.

We have all been puzzled by our own behaviours. Perhaps you do things that are self-defeating. or have difficulty navigating challenging relationships. Maybe you live with a pervasive feeling of emptiness or a panicky sense of dread.

Whether you are new to therapy or returning, it may feel scary, but something vital and important brought you to this decision. Therapy provides us time and space to receive supportive care and empathic listening.

People come to therapy for many reasons—to address a life-changing event, a loss, a struggle with alcohol and drug problems, or other health concerns.

Traumatic experience occurring in early life, as well as ongoing instances of neglect, loss or unmet need, may significantly affect our sense of self. Negative events act as filters that constrain our development and perceptions.

“If every event which occurred could be given a name, there would be no need for stories.” - John Berger, Once in Europa. Our lives unfold in the telling, and in our listener’s responses.

Challenges are inevitable, and needing another’s support is human. In psychotherapy, we explore your emotional depths, and relationship to self and others compassionately. During this work, your developing self-awareness heals and promotes growth in a safe space. We work to understand your uniqueness and co-create the lasting change you seek.

Our bodies are our first source of support in this life. When trauma disrupts our connection to our body wisdom, access can be restored through self-awareness, meaningful human contact, and our bodies’ own power of self-regulation.

D.W. Winnicott, a renowned English analyst, put the therapeutic project simply and elo-quently: “…the foundations of mental health of the adult are laid down in infancy and child-hood”.

The world can be either a meaningful or miserable place, depending on how we perceive ourselves. This perception is usually formed by our mental environment and is responsible for our emotional suffering. Therapy offers a safe place to explore and even remodel our perspective, which brings long-lasting changes to our lives.

Beginning psychodynamic therapy is beginning a journey of self-knowledge. This journey leads to greater self-esteem, agency, resilience, vitality, and insight.

Therapy is about deciding to move beyond fears and limitations, and about making a commitment to being fully and uniquely yourself.

Are you carrying the weight of emotional pain? You don't have to bear this burden alone. Together, we can lighten your load and embark on a journey towards healing and growth. Taking the first step is a courageous act. By choosing to seek therapy, you're investing in your well-being.

Psychotherapy is about care for your soul and mental health. It is private and held in complete confidentiality. You and I together, listening to your life’s narrative, will explore your thoughts, beliefs, conflicts, and connected feelings.

In therapy, we explore who you are and who you aren’t, with curiosity and non-judgment. Knowing yourself and understanding how you relate to yourself and others can relieve suffering, and help you find greater freedom to create the life that you want.

Whether you’re seeking to resolve personal distress or wish to embark on growth and self-discovery, I commend you on your commitment to self-improvement. Entering therapy is an act of courage.

Whatever brings you to therapy is welcome and will be respected. Sometimes, we don't know why we seek therapy, only that something isn't right. Whether you're looking to heal from a past or current trauma, or simply grow as a person, therapy can help free you from burdens and thrive.

Trauma, big or small, can rob us of the well-being and self-agency we need to lead the life we want. I offer trauma-informed therapy designed for deep transformational change. Beyond 'tools', beyond 'insight', trauma therapy changes how we feel from the inside out, leading to true, permanent change.

Talking to friends or family is different from speaking with a therapist. With a therapist, you connect to strengths you may have lost along the way; you develop the capacity to calm and regulate your nervous system.

In spite of great difficulties, you’ve not given up on finding meaning in your life. In helping you figure out what moves you, psychotherapy allows you to make better sense of what you’re going through, to be more aware of your strengths, and more mindful of what you need to sort out.

Therapy starts simply, with what is happening for you right now. How you’re feeling or not feeling; what you’re thinking about; what you’re struggling with. We might wonder together about what you’re curious about, or what you’re avoiding.

You are searching for an emotionally attuned and insightful response to your human suffering and potential. We will work collaboratively to explore the particular nature of your suffering and your unique strengths.

Within us all is the ability to overcome obstacles to a happier, more fulfilling life. Sometimes all we need is some help to get there.

Making the decision to start therapy takes courage. Maybe this is a step you’ve been wanting to take for a long time, or maybe something disruptive has happened recently. Whatever brings you here now, we will work to make sense of it together.

This is where we begin: with your desire to be in your life, and in the world, with less fear, and with as much authenticity and happiness as possible; to simply be more of who you are.

You might be thinking about therapy for many reasons: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or grief. Maybe you feel stuck. Together, we will explore these feelings in depth through a process of self-discovery that can help you grow and develop personally.

“There is nothing so stable as change.” –Bob Dylan Change is inevitable. This can be frightening to acknowledge, but the ability to think, feel, and connect in new ways brings excitement that can be greater than fear.

You know what is on your mind, what beckons for your attention. A therapeutic conversation can begin here. Slowing down, taking the time to listen for what demands your attention, further develops your capacity to understand and make sense of your life. Therapy offers time to consider your life deeply.

The emotional tools we use to cope with life have a way of taking over. We get stuck in loops of action or avoidance that hurt others and hinder ourselves.

Everyone struggles with something, even if they don’t show it. Struggling alone is no way to live! And there is no shame in needing help, as humans don’t thrive alone. Psychotherapy can help you find your way to a greater sense of self and wellbeing.

Emotional suffering is painful and lonely. It doesn’t have to be. Psychotherapy is talk therapy that promises change through self-awareness.

In therapy we begin to understand ourselves, and our relations with others, amid life's complexities. It's a space to freely explore our thoughts, feelings, and life experiences from the past and present, as we orient towards the future.

Therapy is an important exchange that aims to help make use of our mindful and experiential wisdom. It offers resources and new ways of being to turn seemingly impossible situations such as life transitions, trauma, employment-based or relational conflict and injustice into ones in which we can find integration and dignity.

Many people gain personal insights through the practice of writing, painting, or other art forms. Similarly, psychotherapy can give us a window into unknown facets of ourselves.

We have great inner resources for healing and for growth. But we need a context in which we feel listened to and heard, and within which a new perspective can develop. My method as a psychotherapist is to listen carefully to your dreams, experiences, fears, hopes, and longings, as we work to understand your particular concerns and experiences.

Finding support through therapy can be life-changing. I offer a safe, respectful, and confidential space where we can work together to explore where and why you are stuck, and increase awareness of yourself.

Psychotherapy can be a transformational experience of self-discovery. This work can generate new strength rooted in your expanding self-awareness. As a catalyst of change, therapy supports your efforts to identify patterns that are no longer serving you and to reconnect with yourself in a new, compassionate way.

As you consider the idea of therapy and begin your search for a therapist, I’m guessing you may feel pretty vulnerable. I get it, I’ve been there. Trusting another with your personal story and letting go of some of the protections you have put in place over the years takes time. As your unique story unfolds, we will get there - together.

Therapy is a process of supported inquiry. It is powerful work—it can help us shift from merely coping with life’s challenges to feeling more fully alive.

Perhaps you have been feeling dissatisfied or stuck in a rut; or you may be thinking that there must be more to life, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s inevitable challenges. Starting the process of therapy can be a powerful step towards changing your life.

We come to therapy with the hope that our lives can be better, but we often don’t know what to change or how. It’s hard to give up the familiar for the unknown. In therapy we gain the insight that allows us to transform and move forward. I believe we contain the innate ability to heal.

Everyone’s need for change is unique. You may be in search of healing and personal growth or compelled by feelings you cannot fully understand. Psychotherapy provides a non-judgemental space for you to safely and effectively reflect, risk, and restore. In your therapy, we work together to co-create change in the areas you find troubling.

Maybe you want change, or change is happening where you wish it weren’t. Or you’re striving to reach your potential, and something is in your way. Perhaps you simply don’t want to struggle anymore.

When confusion, anxiety, shame, or despair begin to impede upon day-to-day living, finding ways to rediscover your strength and resilience is of paramount importance.
