Services


I work with individuals 18 years and older, providing psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

I offer culturally reflexive therapy from a harm reduction perspective, recognizing how intersecting identities of race, class, gender, culture, sexuality, and so on shape what trauma, resilience, and healing means for different people. I am trans, queer, poly, and kink affirming and welcome and affirm the experiences of people who have been marginalized including sex workers and people who use drugs.

Possible issues include: Abuse, Addiction, Anxiety, Bereavement, Career/Work, Depression, Gender and Sexual Identity, Academic Difficulties, Body Image, Dysmorphia, Social Trauma, Experiences of Oppression, Grief/Loss, Intergenerational Trauma, LGBTQ, Obsessive/Compulsive Tendencies, Relationships/Family, Sexuality and Gender.

I am a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP) and abide by its code of ethics.

Low-cost Psychoanalysis


I currently offer lower-cost Psychoanalysis (four-times weekly therapy) for those interested in this deep and sustainted form of therapy but who otherwise would not be able to afford it.
