I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with a full-time private practice in Toronto, Canada. I'm also clinical consultant at Wellspring, a cancer center for patients and their families. I'm the author of the current book The Power of Names: Uncovering the Mystery of What We are Called, published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2016. The Sacred Body: A Therapist’s Journey, a book about my work with cancer patients, was previously published by Stoddart in 2002. I received my doctoral degree in Psychology from the University of Toronto (OISE) and completed my analytic formation in Lacanian psychoanalysis at Apres-Coup Psychoanalytic Association in New York City. I am also a member of Apres-Coup Psychoanalytic Association and a guest member of the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society.
