Find a Therapist

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.

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.

How do we open to the transmissions of our inner life? Therapy is an opportunity to deepen our awareness of the present, to gain access to feeling, and increase our ability to communicate with new language, imagery, and dimension.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, but often it's because they're looking for some kind of relief and want to get back to feeling like themselves again. When the challenges you’re facing become too much to bear alone, a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship can provide the support you need to move forward.

“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.

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.

Relationships can run into turbulent times. Whehther you are facing a crisis as a couple, or seeking personal growth and new insights, or need to change things up and fall in love again talking things over with your partner in a safe, non-judgmental, confidential setting can be life altering.

Deep wounds need “depth” work to heal! Psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy is a journey we undertake together! As you share your life story and struggles, we will look at the unconscious and conscious patterns that emerge in your life in a non-judgmental way. The aim is for you to find yourself!

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.

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

In therapy we look at the whole of you—body, mind, and the world around you—to understand your challenges. Together we generate deeper awareness of your unique way of responding to the world.

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.

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.

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.

Emotional pain can be a heavy burden to carry, and we can work on lifting this burden together. Taking steps to change your life is a brave move on your part. As we navigate this change process together, I will work to provide a safe space for you.

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.

You may not know exactly what’s wrong—you may only know that something doesn’t feel right. Therapy can help make sense of your feelings and emotions, and offer increased clarity in your life.

“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.

Early life experiences inform how we construct and move through our adult lives. But outdated models of relating or patterns of feeling can block growth and fulfillment. In therapy we work to strengthen the essential capacities you already possess, and support new ways of being and relating that better serve you.

Sometimes it is more difficult to ask a question than to answer it. In conversation with another, one practiced in the art of attuned listening, it becomes possible to discover not only what is worthy of questioning, but why answers have remained so stubbornly concealed from our own searching.

The most powerful agent of deep and lasting change is emotional insight. Therapy can help you uncover emotional patterns that are limiting your growth, and discover new perspectives - so you can develop healthier ways of being, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

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.

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.

If you are interested in getting to the roots of your thoughts and feelings, you have come to the right place. In therapy, we collaborate to understand the values and experiences that make you who you are and forge a path to move from suffering, anger, and anxiety, toward wholeness and healing.

We all struggle at times, even if it doesn’t show. Are you facing a stressful transition? Does a longstanding issue demand your attention? Do you wonder why you repeatedly find yourself in variations of the same situation or dynamic? When we make the pivotal decision to pay attention to what holds us back, new pathways become possible.

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.

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.

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.

Despair does not always yield to introspection, reflection, or fretful worry. Our demons, so to speak, must often be spoken into view, preferably in collaboration with an other, someone with an ear for this very specific kindness.

People work with me because I am a caring person who loves her job. Working with individuals who have experienced trauma and other challenges, being there for them at every step, is my passion.

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 demands of life can sometimes feel difficult to bear or even overwhelming. Giving yourself time in a non-judgmental space with a person dedicated to listening is a significant first step toward relief.

Welcome! Deciding to enter therapy takes courage. I work from an empathic and non-judgmental perspective to meet every client’s individual needs. We'll work together to improve your well-being so that you can live your best life. You can feel better!

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.

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.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost, anxious, or are searching for greater understanding or purpose, you’re not alone. Connecting with a therapist can deepen your understanding of yourself and help you tap into your greatest resources.

Certain ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving may be causing you to struggle. Such patterns mark an effort to cope with excessive anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or other difficulties.

Exploring who we are and what is happening within us doesn’t need to be a journey that is undertaken on our own.

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.

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.

A life’s journey is unique and far from linear. You may be existing in the valleys of anxiety or depression, or moving through transitions. You might be feeling the effects of childhood trauma, or navigating grief. 

Consider what brought you here. Are you worried about the future? Relationships suffer when we feel dissatisfied, lonely, or lost. Do you feel misunderstood? That can leave us anxious or angry.We can bring awareness to the beliefs guiding our lives and create greater connection to ourselves and others through the honest conversation therapy offers.

It's incredible what happens when we embrace curiosity about ourselves. Whether it's anger, sadness, anxiety, confusion, or despair—each emotion holds valuable insights waiting to be understood. Together, we can explore these messages and discover what you need to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and authenticity.

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.

If you are an individual or couple looking for help with navigating life’s challenges or healing—or perhaps are in the midst of a crisis—I create a safe, non-judgmental, empathic setting.

Therapy can help you feel better, think clearer, and live life to the fullest. It can even help you open up to love and be more creative. If you and your partner or family are struggling, I can create a safe space for you to talk things through. I’ll help you communicate openly, work through problems, and build stronger relationships

The turbulence of life can leave us feeling like we are merely getting by, even amid deeply painful experiences. We all need a safe and compassionate space to land in to help us make sense of what’s happening.

Challenges are inevitable, and needing another’s support is human. In psychotherapy, your emotional depths, and relationship to self and others are explored 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.

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.

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.

The work of therapy carves new paths. We bolster self-esteem and emotional resilience, which strengthens our capacity to meet challenges.

“A journey of 100 miles begins with one step.” Welcome to the first step! It takes courage to seek therapy. We do so when stresses, negative thought patterns, and emotions block the life we want.

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.

The way we speak about our experiences shapes the way we know ourselves and interact with others. Through dialogue, I help individuals harness the power of expression to forge healthy and vibrant connections both inwards and outwards.

In psychotherapy, we talk together - about your life, the obstacles you encounter, and your hopes for the future. You are listened to intently - with respect, with an experienced ear, and with caring.

We sometimes doubt that others truly understand what we are feeling, so we struggle in silence. This takes a toll on our minds and our bodies and leaves us feeling anxious or depressed.

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.

Good psychotherapy can be powerful work. It expands our personalities and ability to think, feel, and connect in new, more deeply satisfying ways. It orders our chaos and clarifies who we are. Entering therapy is a courageous move toward change, and toward creating and enjoying a life of our own conscious design.

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.

It is my privilege, as a therapist, to join you as you seek to deeply understand who you are and what you need to move forward. Together we’ll support your efforts to uncover old patterns, rework old beliefs, and to encourage your reach toward new desires, and a greater sense of wholeness.

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.

Having a space to unpack our thoughts and to feel our feelings can help us better understand ourselves. It's about the "why's"; and when you know why, things become clearer. This is how we grow and change.

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

To feel comfortable in your own skin, to heal your inner wounds so that you have more energy to live, to grow, and to meet the world as it is—these are the important tasks that therapy can help you undertake.

What brings us to therapy is our own way of wanting to be part of the world again, to move towards life. The German poet Rilke wrote: learn to love the questions. By asking questions, and by developing the capacity to be curious, our world begins to open up to us.

If you find yourself dissatisfied with your life or merely going through the motions of living, you may benefit from psychotherapy. A strong therapeutic alliance can help anchor you and prevent you from sliding toward impulsive tendencies.

We are altered by experiences that enable us to put away or forget who we really are. You deserve to be heard. Speaking freely about your life, without judgment, can make you visible to yourself again, allow you to un-hide with another, and eventually begin to heal.

If you feel sad or stuck or anxious or numb. If you have questions about repeating patterns in your life or have a tendency to get in your own way. If you are afraid to go after the things you most want. If you struggle to find a sense of meaning or purpose, therapy can help.

Do you want to grow in life? I believe that wisdom and creativity emerge through openness, curiosity, and reflection on your authentic experience. I work mostly with people in their twenties and thirties who find themselves at a turning point.

There seems to be an expectation when asked “How are you doing?” that only a positive response is invited. If we’re all “good”, why are many of us actually feeling bad? Psychotherapy provides a space where what you are truly feeling will be heard.

What if therapy isn't about finding out what's wrong with us, but rediscovering those parts of ourselves that have been buried? And what if healing isn't about fixing ourselves, but alleviating suffering by uncovering the depths of who we are? Therapy encourages self-curiosity and allows growth to happen naturally.

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.

Therapy can offer a safe, creative and compassionate setting. As your therapist, I’m here to help you overcome anxiety, feel empowered and flourish in your relationships, while facilitating the healing and change you desire.

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

Psychotherapy can help you come to understand the story of your life. Once you have understanding, you can be more compassionate toward yourself. You can discover new strategies that help you manage your life more effectively. This is your life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy will help you make the most of it.

In therapy, I advocate for you to become who you are meant to be on this planet. I have personally worked with over 4,000 people living out their purpose. I coach, lead group work, and facilitate workshops and retreats. I accompany you while you heal and while you step firmly into your truth.

Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable enough to discuss your challenges and dreams takes courage. Oftentimes we start looking when we are already struggling to cope. Together we can build on your courage to support your healing and growth. Therapy offers space to explore with compassion, find stability, and create new possibilities.

Together, you and I talk about your hopes, fears, troubles, disruptive behaviours, and all the other feelings and experiences that are hard to bear. We treat these with care and respect as we explore at your pace. We discover your uniqueness, potential, strengths, and inner resources by exploring your past, present life, and the immediate moments.

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.

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.

Therapy helps to carve a clearer path as you journey along life’s many winding roads. In a supportive space fit for conversation and silence we tune in to your authentic self and tackle obstacles interfering with your potential.

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.

Welcome to your life—you’re on a search that will bring you back to you. The journey towards self-awareness can be difficult and painful, but it’s worth it.

Starting therapy can be scary, but you won’t be doing it alone. Together we’ll think about your thinking, behaviours, and relationships, and wonder about the unconscious. We open things up in search of ourselves. Facing ourselves isn’t always easy but it is meaningful, and it brings us new possibilities.

Understanding our lives and our experiences, as shaped by our backgrounds, can be challenging. The ways we understand those experiences and their meanings are malleable!

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.

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.

We often seek therapy when we find ourselves struggling, when everything else we have tried has not worked. The good news is the strength, resilience and courage you need to create the change you want are already within you.

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.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards better emotional well-being. Entering therapy can be a daunting decision. Every person's therapy is unique; it will be responsive to your life journey, past and present.

We are wired for connection and growth, striving to achieve the fullest expression of who we are. But there can be challenges along the way. Psychotherapy is a means of illuminating a path through difficulty.

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.

Are you seeking change in your life? Therapy helped me when I found myself struggling and needing answers. Together we can explore your current situation and help you find the answers you need. I look forward to meeting you in person.

Something remarkable happens when we are listened to deeply and openly. Whether we have a strong sense of ourselves but are struggling with difficult feelings or we are lost, afraid, and overwhelmed with anxiety, speaking about it with someone who has the ability and psychic space to listen to us can be a powerful and healing experience.

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.

Creative, accomplished people often feel a sense of emptiness, and struggle with relationships. An event or problem may spark questions and conflicts about identity and what your purpose may be; or, you may wonder how to connections and live a more fulfilled life. Speaking honestly and being heard can foster self-enrichment and discovery.

More than a treatment for your emotional suffering, psychotherapy is also a tool for deepening your experience, for engaging with the challenges of living, and for catalyzing your potential.

“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

Browsing this website is a significant act, one of courage and compassion. While a part of you may resist exploring therapy, another part brought you here. It considers the possibility that you can be deeply heard and known; trust and be trusted. That part knows it’s worth a try.

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 experiences from the past and present, as we orient towards the future.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges; our familiar responses and assumptions don’t seem to be working for us anymore.

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.

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.

Looking inside yourself requires courage. Therapy offers you the opportunity to share your experiences with someone who is trained to listen in an empathetic and focused way.

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”.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to shed old, unhelpful ways of being for more authentic forms of connecting. Recognizing your own patterns, let alone changing them, can be difficult without support.

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.

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.

If you feel lost and need to talk to someone about the challenges of life, psychotherapy provides a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions.

Recurring feelings of anxiety, sadness or anger can overwhelm us. Past experiences, unhealthy patterns, or difficulty in relationships can intensify these feelings. Therapy can offer a space to explore your internal landscape in conversation.

Being human can be tough! If you are struggling, feeling stuck and/or want to improve your well-being, therapy can help - you don’t have to do this alone. I offer weekly or biweekly sessions.

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.

Creating lasting change can sometimes be difficult without help. We may not even know where to start. Therapy is a way to start, and a way of helping to bring about change.

Tough times in life can actually be a turning point for the better. When things get hard, they can push us to reach out for help. Finding a safe space where you feel listened to and understood can be a powerful way to start making positive changes in your life.

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.
