Description

I strive to help clients locate the connection between the internal experiences of the mind and the lived experience of the body.  I believe a body-based approach to psychotherapy is a great way to work with the fatigue and hopelessness of chronic pain, illness, work-related stress, relational strains, and ongoing anxiety.  My therapy is psychodynamic, relational, insight-oriented, and incorporates cognitive-behavioural strategies. I am passionate about helping clients with challenges related to fertility, alternative family structures, and challenges specific to same-sex couples.
