Beginning therapy is a meaningful step, often taken in the midst of uncertainty, pain, or longing for change.

 

I practice psychoanalytic therapy, which seeks to illuminate how unconscious processes shape our relationships, inner life, and experience of self: it is for those whose lives bear the scars of complex beginnings with histories not easily spoken, yet deeply felt. What we explore together is not a treatment of symptoms alone. Therapy is a rigorous process by which we trace the origins of your suffering to their earliest formations. The mind speaks in patterns, defenses, and repetitions; with each therapeutic encounter, we arrive at a deeper understanding of these structures.

​

I often work with people whose struggles centre on the fabric of personality itself. This may take the form of borderline personality organization, which is characterized by overwhelming emotions, a fragile or shifting sense of self, and relationships that oscillate between closeness and distance. I also support those with chronic illness, where physical pain and emotional distress are deeply connected.

​

I offer both psychotherapy and comprehensive formal assessment for mood, anxiety, personality, dissociative, and psychotic disorders. My practice is located in the heart of Old Strathcona, with a secondary office opening soon in Leduc, Alberta.

If the struggles described here resonate with you, I welcome you to reach out. Together, we can create a space where what feels most difficult may be thought, felt, and gradually transformed.
