Fragst du dich manchmal, “Wer bin ich?” oder “Ist das wirklich das Leben das ich führen möchte?” Fordernde Lebenssituationen, Ängste und Beziehungsschwierigkeiten können dazu führen, dass wir uns hilflos und überfordert fühlen. In meiner Beratung unterstütze ich Frauen, Balance zu finden, tiefer Verbindungen zu sich selber und anderen aufzubauen und Kontrolle über ihr Leben zurück zu gewinnen. Woran auch immer du arbeiten willst, ich bin für dich da.

Der Kunde kommt zu mir, um sich besser zu fühlen, Potenziale zu erschließen und mit Sinn für Sinn und Zweck auf seiner Reise voranzukommen. Ich konzentriere mich auf die Ergebnisse im Hier und Jetzt. Ich arbeite mit den üblichen Schuldigen: Depressionen, Angst, Untreue und Selbstwertgefühl. Ich arbeite auf vielen Ebenen. Kunden wählen meinen Ansatz, weil ich daran arbeite, sie zu heilen - nicht nur das Leben einfacher oder etwas besser zu machen. Ich bemühe mich, den Kern meiner Klienten zu beeinflussen, und das kann auf allen oder einigen ihrer psychologischen, physischen und spirituellen Ebenen geschehen.

Welcome! I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy within my private practice, offering services to young adults, adults, couples, and groups. In therapy, we embark on a journey to deepen our understanding of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Many individuals I work with express feelings of inadequacy, guilt/shame, anger, fear of confrontation, and a tendency towards people-pleasing. These emotions can manifest, impacting various aspects of their lives such as work dynamics, relationships, and self-perception. Together, we explore these patterns and emotions, possibly rooted in the unconscious, to foster healing and growth.

Life can seem truly overwhelming at times, especially in our day and age when global concerns may compound our more personal stressors. Many people have carried the weight of distressing, sometimes traumatic, events with them throughout life, only to find one day that this weight has become crushing. Even those who have gone through life with relative ease may suddenly feel overwhelmed by difficult situations, such as physical or mental illness, the death of a loved one, relationship or parenting problems, divorce or other life transitions.

What would life feel like if you felt worthy, joyful, healthy, and your emotional needs were met? Therapy is a gift to yourself to feel good again and manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and PTSD that keeps you feeling stuck and less than. People often make wrong conclusions about their worth based on the level of emotional attunement and care they received growing up or the trauma they experienced. In the empowering relationship we form, I create a safe to talk and compassionately & work alongside you to help, work through your pain & improve the relationship with yourself, and discover meaning, mindfulness and hope.

Perhaps your family members struggle with alcohol or addictions. You often feel isolated and "not enough", and could use help from a person who understands these challenges. If you are Neurodivergent, in Recovery; or considering gender transition, I have specific education + experience to support you (Rainbow Health Ontario provider).

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed with stressors of life or find ourselves disconnected from our feelings. We struggle with self-esteem and are not sure how to become the person we want to be. At times we might feel like giving up on ourselves and our relationships. Pushing away your needs and not addressing your sense of self-respect can lead to long-term negative feelings such as anxiety, anger, or guilt.
