Registered Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst

I have had the privilege of accompanying people through their most vulnerable moments for the past several decades. Therapy, as I’ve come to know, is about putting your experience into words. When we do this, we create meaningful healing connections that vitalize us to the core of our being.

I was drawn to Self-Psychology, to the work of Heinz Kohut, when introduced to the idea that one of our primary motivations, is the protection of our sense of self. It is not always clear how our patterns and our behaviours are protecting us. Understanding that there are reasons that make sense, even if not initially apparent, is deeply liberating. Uncovering our motivation is a significant piece of the work in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. My approach is also informed by many contemporary psychoanalysts; Brandchaft, Stolorow, Atwood and Orange, Lichtenberg, Lachmann, Fosshage, Bacal, Bromberg, Mitchell, Fonagy, and Geist.
