Psychological therapies can be both brief and long-term. While I have been trained in a range of psychotherapeutic approaches, including mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural, and integrative therapy, I mainly practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I provide time-limited and symptom-focused integrative treatment for people who wish to get a better control of their symptoms and whose visits are covered solely by Medicare. Typically, psychoanalytic therapy is a long-term and open-ended treatment and I provide long-term and insight-oriented psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individuals who want to achieve a deeper self-understanding.
 
Why Psychoanalytic Therapy: People’s experiences and understanding of their adult life relationships are shaped by their infancy and early family environment. Early life experiences and models of relationships contribute, at least in part, to different emotional and relational concerns people experience later in life. My approach tailors treatment to each patient, helps them develop a deeper understanding of their relational patterns, and assists them in changing those patterns.
