I help people work through tough stuff. I use different ways to understand what is going on, like thinking about your past, how your brain works, and how relationships work today.

In individual therapy sessions, I will listen carefully and patiently to understand the full picture. I use my knowledge and experience to respond in a way that promotes positive change.

As a couples therapist, I will focus on helping you understand the deep feelings that influence your behavior in the relationship and guide you to share these feelings with your partner. We will practice expressing difficult emotions and listening to each other.

I use trauma and attachment theories and practice psychodynamic, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)-informed couple therapy.

While my thinking mind was happily occupied at work, I felt a strong desire to return to my passion for human psychology. I completed a rigorous training at the Center for Training in Psychotherapy in Toronto and gained invaluable clinical experience spending hundreds of hours helping clients.
