People often come to therapy during a time of transition, uncertainty, or inner conflict. There might be a specific dilemma, or a more general sense that something isn’t quite working—something that feels stuck, confusing, or painful. You don’t need to have all the answers—or even a clear question—to begin.

My role is to offer a calm, reflective space where you can speak freely and where we can pay close attention to what’s unfolding. Sometimes this involves looking at patterns that repeat, emotions that feel out of proportion, or thoughts that seem at odds with one another. Often it involves slowing down enough to hear what’s been pushed aside or overlooked.

In our first sessions, we’ll talk about what brings you here, what you hope for, and whether working together feels like a good fit. I’ll also want to get a sense of your wider context—your relationships, background, and current supports—as this helps to ground the work in the reality of your life.

I work with individuals both in person and online, offering sessions from once a week to more frequent meetings depending on what feels appropriate and sustainable. These are things we’ll explore together, based on your needs and the pace that feels right for you.

My orientation is grounded in psychoanalysis and the Jungian framework of analytic psychology, which guides me to pay attention to unconscious processes, early life experiences, dreams, and emotional dynamics that may not always be immediately obvious. I’m also interested in the ways we carry stories and emotional material from previous generations, and how this can show up in the present.

That said, I’m not only concerned with where things began. I’m just as interested in what current difficulties might be signalling—how they might point toward something that’s wanting to shift, grow, or be understood in a new way.

An important part of this work is noticing how we relate—to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. I work within a psychosocial frame, which means the process attends not only to your inner world, but also to the impact of race, gender, sexuality, class, health, disability, and migration—as well as collective and ecological experiences such as climate anxiety or systemic trauma. These are all part of the emotional and relational terrain we can explore together.

Therapy is a space where new ways of thinking, feeling, and imagining can begin to take shape. As the process unfolds, the focus often shifts away from simply alleviating symptoms, toward cultivating a deeper understanding of yourself and your life—and opening up the possibility for change.
