Relationally Focused Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples, both in-person, and over Zoom
Hi. I'm Glad You're Here.
I see my patients (individuals, and couples) both in person, and remotely over Zoom.
And I’m also accepting new patients.
Spend a bit of time here to get a sense of what psychotherapy with me is like; and if you want to learn more, use the button below to get in touch.
My Approach to Psychotherapy
I approach psychotherapy from both a Psychoanalytic foundation and a Relational practice. Relational is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of the therapy, and Psychoanalytic is the process by which we uncover unconscious motivations that are operating beneath the surface.
How does this happen? The therapeutic sessions draw upon our experiences of the past and these sessions bring to light how these experiences get replayed in the present, often without our knowing. Whether it is a toxic relationship that keeps repeating over and over in our lives, whether it is the same debilitating anxiety that makes us freeze and limit any kind of mental movement. Whether its depression, grief, anger, or obsessions, or damages from narcissistic behaviours that cast a shadow over our prospects of joy, both our recent and/or our childhood life experiences can keep us stuck. Maybe we find ourselves in an unsatisfying job, or in unhealthy relationships or in our addictions. How did I get here? Perhaps our fears have shaped a kind of survival system that has worked well for us—up until now.
A New Chapter
Perhaps these experiences or genetics have led us into addictions as coping mechanisms, or have resulted in other ways that we dealt with the exterior world, but these mechanisms no longer work—in fact they are causing pain—to yourself and to others. Or maybe we are looking to get in touch with the best parts of our being. Paying attention to all of these beliefs, thoughts, and emotions can help us change the stories that we tell ourselves. And a good therapeutic relationship can help us do that. It’s the beginning of a new day, a new chapter, a new story of our lives.
