“And then the knowledge comes to me that I have space within me for a second, timeless, larger life.
R.M. Rilke, “ I Love My Being’s Dark Hours””
Welcome to the ConnectedSelf Clinic!
Providing in-person and virtual sessions.
Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief or loss, these are all part of the human experience. I provide a safe, human space to express and develop insight, skills and trust in your process with resolutions. I am a psychodynamic social work psychotherapist with a background in the arts. I work with the whole person: mind, body, emotional and existential. I first developed a curiosity about the human condition and the unconscious through contemporary dance, being a professional dancer for 15 years or more. I have an interest in relational psychoanalysis and depth psychology, with a Master’s in Theory and Criticism. Followed by a Master’s in Social Work. I am a well-experienced psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, with post-graduate training in Jungian analysis, Object Relations couple therapy, somatic psychotherapy, movement and creative arts therapy.
As a psychotherapist my orientation is person-centred, analytic, pragmatic and creative, supporting people in their individuation process through embodied and lived reality.
I work in a collaborative manner with adults (18+) individually around life and relationship struggles. I invite you to share, observe and explore your life story. In this process, the deeper aspect of the self, that is often the source of most suffering in life, is made aware. In so doing, new awarenesses become available that invite a different perspective, better choices, emotional and behavioural changes, and new ways of being in the world which is more in tune with your true self. I also works with dreams, artistic and creative material, along with everyday life situations.
My home office in Old North, is a comfortable space, with the hope of making you feel welcome.
““Good psychotherapists are something like astronomers who spend their lives studying the stars, trying to find out why certain stellar systems behave as they do and why black holes exist. And at the end they are even more in awe of the grandeur of it all.” ”
