I work with young adults and adults who struggle with a variety of issues. Whether you are experiencing personal or interpersonal difficulties, sometimes you can find yourself caught in troublesome patterns of thinking and behaving. You become bogged down with distorted beliefs about yourself and the world, trapped in unfulfilling circumstances, relationships and careers, or fixated on the past. A wide range of problematic symptoms (from anxiety and depression to damaged self-esteem, emotional disorders and self-destructive behaviors) can impact your quality of life. You need help to feel positive, confident and hopeful.
As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I go beyond just helping clients to alleviate their current symptoms. Working together in the safety of a therapeutic space, I facilitate discovery and understanding of the deeper issues beneath the symptoms. By working through old narratives and healing the past, we create room for a more balanced and rewarding future.
Effective psychotherapy requires building a therapeutic alliance of empathy and trust. Creating a safe, non-judgemental space to freely express your thoughts and feelings allows you to explore the most vulnerable and guarded parts of yourself and gain new insight and perspectives on why you think and react to life the way you do.
