Embarking on the journey of self-understanding is the catalyst for change. The first step towards understanding ourselves begins with the genuine understanding offered by another.

Therapy for Teens

I see preteens & teens aged 12 and up. We move at a safe and comfortable pace and we start where your teen is ready. It’s normal for teens to feel some hesitation and reluctance to the process at first. My job is to make sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible from the get-go.

Therapy for Anxiety

For many of us, anxiety can be incredibly difficult to overcome and can impact all aspects of our lives. It can manifest as over-thinking, lowered self-esteem, an identity crisis, obsessive thoughts, or perfectionism. We'll work together to understand what is at the root of the anxiety so we can come up with ways to overcome it.

A large focus of psychodynamic therapy is on relationships and how they impact your current daily life. This will lead us to explore how your formative relationships impact your relating in the present, whether it be with your partner, boss, or friends. This can help to disrupt and overcome difficult patterns.

Welcome!

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) practicing out of Roncesvalles in Toronto, Ontario. I’m passionate about working with individuals who are looking for deeply rooted, lasting change. I specialize in working with teens and adults who are dealing with issues related to anxiety and ADHD. I approach psychotherapy through an existential and psychodynamic lens.

Some of my clients have been to therapy before, have found some relief through structured treatments (CBT, for example), and seek to supplement this work with some further exploration. Working with a psychodynamic therapist can be a beautiful complement to the cognitive-based route if there are still difficult patterns and painful repetitions that exist.

I reserve a certain number of sliding scale spots to keep therapy as accessible as possible.

“Psychotherapy cannot make us whole, but it does allow us to transform suffering into speech and, ultimately, to learn to live with desire.”
