About

Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers a supportive, confidential space for exploring your inner world. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or a feeling that life isn’t quite working, this approach is for you. Together, we’ll look at how past experiences and unconscious patterns are shaping your present. While this process can be challenging, it can lead to relief, deeper self-understanding, and powerful new ways of coping. My role is to walk alongside you, ease distress, and support meaningful change.

I approach each session with care, curiosity, and genuine interest. My style is non-prescriptive; I follow your lead while gently guiding the conversation. We start each session by focusing on what feels most important to you. I listen deeply, respect your process, and offer interpretations or feedback when helpful.

I primarily work with individuals committed to long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy. Sessions are 50 minutes and are typically held once a week (additional sessions are available as needed). The fee is $150 per session.

My professional background is diverse, spanning government, education, not-for-profit, and technology sectors.

Education & Training:

  • BA, Classical Studies (McMaster University)
  • ADR/Negotiation post-graduate certificate (York University, 2007)
  • Began practicing psychotherapy in 2014 during training at the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy (CTP), graduating in 2017.
  • CBT Fundamentals (OISE, University of Toronto, 2019)
  • College of Registered Psychotherapists (registered, 2019)
  • Currently pursuing the Advanced Certificate in Couples and Family Therapy (University of Guelph).
  • Special Interest: Grief related to pet loss (further training with APLB scheduled for 2026).

Personal Motivation: My own experience as a psychotherapy client deeply inspired me to study theory and practice. The combination of my personal therapy and the rigorous six-year CTP program has strengthened my capacity for empathy and fully prepared me to support others in navigating the challenges we all face.

Successful psychotherapy depends on a strong, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable opening up. It’s important to know your therapist is a good fit before beginning. To support this, I offer a free 30-minute consultation by phone or secure online platform. Please contact me to arrange a time.
