Specialties
I work with people of all ages and many types of issues, some of which suggest different approaches. Together, we consider the best method for what is on your mind. I perform assessments, conduct treatment, and consult to individuals, couples, families, and organizations. My approach is relational and psychodynamic: I aim to get a deeper understanding of thoughts and feelings, experiences and interactions that may not really be in tune with what you want: how you want to be and how you want to live your life. With educational or cognitive assessments, we aim to investigate learning style, strengths and weaknesses, to find out what works best for you. We work together to develop practical solutions.
History
Established in 1994.
I am a psychologist practicing in Toronto. I began my professional career as a teacher, first of very young and then older children, and then of teachers and day care workers. I found that my interest was in personal development more than academic skills. I wanted to help people to be mentally healthy and happy. I moved from education into psychology, focusing on psychological research at Columbia University and later on clinical work through the University of Toronto. My first practicum patient was meant to be something fairly simple and straightforward — an assessment of learning style — but turned out to involve intense emotional and behavior issues that required crisis intervention. I became open to work with the more extreme kinds of problems that can emerge, as well as the more common issues that can interfere with so many of us.
