I provide clinical psychology services, mainly individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment. My webpage is a brief introduction to me and provides ways of easily making contact.
About Me
I have been in private practice since 2016, and a licensed Psychological Associate in the province of Ontario since 2019. I am also an advanced candidate at the Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis (TICP).
My love for learning psychoanalysis, as well as my own experience as an analysis patient, has shaped me into a psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapist. I enjoy speaking with potential new patients about my orientation and how psychoanalytic training informs and drives my clinical work, and most importantly, how this special expertise gives me the potential to help you with a variety of problems and presenting clinical issues, including severe trauma and treatment-resistant disturbances. Psychoanalytic training has also been an excellent education in clinical dissociation, trauma, attachment, relational theory, psychoanalytic and unconscious processes, and ultimately how to facilitate effective psychoanalytic work.
You may have been in therapy in the past and been dissatisfied. Or perhaps you had positive experiences but know there is still work to be done. Whether you are an experienced or first-time patient, consider a highly trained therapist like me.
Services
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
$220 per hour
Psychoanalytic therapy is usually weekly and longer-term in order to address longstanding psychological symptoms, trauma history, and/or problematic interpersonal patterns. An initial assessment period for suitability is followed by the development of a psychoanalytic process as the patient develops a health and meaningful attachment to the therapist. Treatment focuses on the patient’s experience of the analytic relationship and through this relationship the past is revived and worked through, leading to deep levels of insight and felt/expressed emotion, healing from early trauma, and improved relationships.
Integrative Psychotherapy
$220 per hour
Integrative psychodynamic therapy may work for those interested in less frequent sessions, or an open-ended treatment schedule. I work with you to raise awareness and deepen subjective experiencing, partly through attending closely to our relationship dynamics. Aspects of CBT and general psychotherapy, such as education and supportive interventions, are incorporated.
Psychological Assessment
$220 per hour
I offer psychodiagnostic assessments for those in need of a diagnosis for different purposes. I also provide psychology services to WSIB claimants and Veterans Affairs service users, that include psychological assessment and diagnosis. In some cases I can provide assessment for accommodations for university students, and patients in need of documentation for absences from work and/or disability applications.
