I am a Registered Psychologist (registration number 2115) and Psychoanalyst (Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis). I completed my Ph.D. in Psychology at York University in 1987, and have been in private practice since that time. I completed my Masters degree in Psychology in South Africa and was employed as a Psychologist at the Johannesburg General Hospital prior to coming to Canada. I offer a range of services in my practice- from short-term focused therapy to long term intensive psychoanalysis. I offer both individual and couple therapy. The treatment you receive will be agreed upon by both of us as the most appropriate and relevant treatment under the circumstances. I welcome any comments you may have at any time about the treatment, and encourage a collaborative approach.
