I provide psychotherapy services to adults.

Currently, all appointments are held on-line, but soon I will be offering sessions in person in St. Marys. Appointments are 50 minutes long, and typically take place on a weekly, or bi-weekly basis.

I am an attachment-oriented, mindfulness-based, psychodynamic psychotherapist. My work is client-centered and trauma informed. I also am committed to an anti-oppressive practice, and continue to learn and develop myself professionally.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy involves exploring and understanding how unconscious, past relational patterns may be having an impact on the present. This kind of therapy is longer-term, collaborative, and emotionally focused. Addressing the root causes of suffering and distress, rather than just the symptoms, is core to the approach.

Each one of us developed in a specific environment with specific caregivers. Understanding how our nervous systems and attachment patterns were shaped in these contexts can empower us to make informed decisions about our wellbeing, and to improve our relationship to ourselves and others.

In my approach to this work, I draw heavily on mindfulness, self-compassion, and somatic work. Learning how to turn towards, to be safely with, and to regulate the emotions that arise in the body is at the heart of what I do. But there are many different tools I can use depending on what works best for you. We might talk about your experiences, explore your dreams, or even do some role-playing. Every session is unique and tailored to your individual needs at that time.
