Targeted Therapy
You may seek therapy in order to work on specific issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, personal relationships, problems at work, etc. We can work on these issues primarily through the use of Relational Psychotherapy, while drawing on some other therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
Transitional Changes
You may be facing a major transition in your life – e.g. marriage, divorce, change of employment, retirement – and feel that you need expert, guided support to work through your understandably complex feelings about this change. We can together “unpack” your feelings about such a change in a way that helps you to understand them and help to make some informed choices in dealing with these situations.
Enhancing Self-Awareness
Perhaps you can’t point to any one thing that is troubling you, but you feel generally overwhelmed, sad, anxious or fearful. Or perhaps you see yourself repeating certain patterns in your life that are not satisfying to you, but you want to understand why you are doing so. We can collaborate to understand you just a little bit better, and work through some alternative responses that will be more productive for you.

About Relational Psychotherapy
My primary mode of therapy is Relational Psychotherapy. Generally in this mode of therapy, we acknowledge that we are all shaped by our experiences, both early in life and later on. In that sense, we have learned “how to be”, often in terms of what others need or want us to be. Many of us get to a point where we want to operate less from how others define us or what they expect of us, and to instead meet life on our own terms. In therapy, we explore all of these patterns, try to tune into your inner self, and figure out what shifts might need to take place.
