Registered Psychotherapist

Initially trained as a clinical psychologist abroad, I possess a deep understanding of how emotional and mental health struggles can impact people’s inner and social lives. Having been a patient of psychodynamic psychotherapy myself, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can sometimes be. Over the last decade, my background and experience have encompassed individuals from all walks of life, leading me to recognize that our internal world often takes precedence over many of our external circumstances. I am also familiar with the challenges that immigration brings, from the feelings of displacement and the longing for a home to the journey of finding my inner home.

If you have faced deeply rooted dysfunctional life patterns, distressing early experiences, or long-standing emotional challenges, this may be the right approach for you. Our past is not simply ‘painful memories’ that contribute to our state of mind, they may become our state of mind. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is my approach because it allows me to work with you as a unique individual rather than simply focusing on symptom reduction. Through this, I help my patients uncover and understand the unconscious aspects of themselves to resolve inner conflicts and alleviate present-day difficulties. I will listen intently to understand what you are experiencing within the context of your life and try to understand what internal conflicts may exist. My goal is to help you feel unstuck and develop a better capacity to work with the emotional distress you are experiencing. By going beyond patterns that don’t help you anymore, you can develop the freedom to lead a life with a greater sense of control and stability beyond patterns of fear and distress.
