Psychoanalytic Therapists in M4P

Most of us encounter obstacles in our private lives on our way to reaching our goals. While some of these impediments can be navigated through focus, hard work and perseverance, there are others whose stubborn insistence seems to worsen as we struggle to make progress. There are times in our lives when it is necessary to confront what lies beneath, and to explore the meanings of our suffering. I offer the safe and confidential setting of a psychoanalytic treatment to individuals seeking to address their personal issues. Please contact me if you are interested in learning more about treatment.

Welcome! I am a registered clinical & counselling psychologist licensed to practice in the province of Ontario. I am a graduate of the University of Toronto where I received my Masters degree and Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology. My training has also included both of Toronto’s psychoanalytic training institutes, and I have certificates in addiction studies, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and sensory motor psychotherapy. As a registered member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario, I enjoy providing respectful, kind and inclusive psychological services to older adolescents, adults, couples, and organizations.

Are you are looking for a psychologist who can help guide you through the process of healing from depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, or grief? Would you like to make positive changes in your life and attain new goals? Perhaps you'd like to increase your motivation, self-confidence, or change unhelpful patterns in your thinking and behaviour. The clinicians at Toronto Psychologists are skilled in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. We provide flexible and comprehensive treatment approaches to meet each client's unique needs.

I provide couples therapy and individual psychotherapy for adults. Connecting with you, understanding your needs and holding a safe space is my priority. I take being confided in very seriously and will protect your privacy and best interests. I work within my clinical skills and competencies to ensure you are met with professional guidance and standards. My goal is to empower you to develop insight, acceptance, confidence, and to help you to cultivate positive and lasting change.

My passion for helping others is what led me to the field of addictions and psychotherapy. I am an Internationally Certified Alcohol & Drug Counsellor (ICADC) and registered psychotherapist (RP), educated in Criminology at the University of Ottawa and Addiction Education at McMaster University where I completed an Addiction Studies Certificate and an Addiction Care Worker Diploma. I have been working in the field of addictions and mental health for 13 years. I deliver client-centred and holistic therapy in order to best meet my clients needs and address the root causes of their issues.

The desire for self-awareness, personal growth, and change often motivates individuals to seek out psychotherapy. Disharmony within our sense of self and others can lead us to experience thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that prevent us from living our happiest and most authentic selves. Whether it is coping with grief and loss, processing trauma, or navigating existential concerns regarding identity or purpose, self-exploration within a psychotherapeutic relationship can move us towards an increased awareness of how these dynamics operate within our lives, and forging commitments toward actions that yield meaningful change.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologist of Ontario. I have a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. My clinical training is integrative, and includes a directive Cognitive Behavioral method, a more introspective Psychodynamic approach, as well as a holistic Mindfulness style. I incorporate various therapeutic modalities into my clinical practice in accordance with the individual needs of each patient. I am fluent in English and Greek. I currently conduct virtual therapy.

All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming (Helen Keller). I am a psychoanalyst and offer treatment for anxiety, depression, stress, loss, grief, low self-esteem/confidence and shyness. I specialize in issues arising from adult and childhood trauma, relationships with family or colleagues, life transitions of any form and gender identity. I believe it is equally important to work on our inner and outer selves and to include our past and present in order to develop a grounded and balanced sense of being. I provide a safe environment in-person or virtually where you can explore and develop your thoughts further.

I believe psychotherapy is a place where you can be free to explore the fulness of yourself, to meet yourself. I will be there with you to provide the space and opportunity for change, by giving voice to the areas of you that have remained silent, to assist you in achieving a sense of authenticity. Through psychotherapy you can speak freely, without shame and fear and gradually within your own words another meaning forms and takes the pain with it. You don’t have to suffer isolated and in silence, you would find the ways to overcome the inhibition and the barriers on your path toward well-being and succes.
