More About Myself
I have been helping individuals, families and children for
over 29 years. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the
College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a
Clinical Member of the Canadian Association of Psychoanalytic
Child Therapists.
I have a Bachelor Degree in Honours Psychology, U of Waterloo.
I also trained at CICAPP-Canadian Institute of Child and
Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program (Formerly
TCPP). CICAPP is a 4 year Master's Level training program that
specializes in psychoanalytic psychotherapy with children and
adolescents. This training also allowed me to explore, through
personal analysis, my own unconscious. In order to be able to
understand children, adolescents and adults and their
confusion, distress, anger and despair, you have to be aware
of the workings of your own internal world and be as grounded
as possible in reality.
I am a member of the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society and a
member of the TPS Supervision Group: Working with Adults as a
means to continue my education in psychoanalytic psychotherapy
with adults.
I am also a Clinical Supervisor to students and registered
psychotherapists. Registered Psychotherapists will not be
permitted to practice independently - without clinical
supervision, until they have completed 1000 direct client
contact hours and 150 hours of clinical supervision over the
course of their professional careers. This limitation will
apply to all members, whether they register via grandparenting
or the regular route.
