I work exclusively with adolescents and young adults seeking medium/longer-term psychotherapy. Working consistently over time allows us to create a safe space to openly explore who they are, why they feel the way they feel (and do what they do) to pinpoint what they truly need to thrive; and I'll be there for support and guidance as this self-knowledge translates into meaningful real-world choices. My style is conversational, collaborative and down-to-earth - we are in it together and our sessions are real, present and genuine time together.
My approach is ideal for young people looking for secure base of support as they grow through different phases of life, or process difficult experiences/emotions at their pace, or find talking about feelings uncomfortable and trust takes time, or for those who have found short-term therapies ineffective or surface-level and want deeper self-understanding.
My therapeutic orientation targets the root causes of difficulties through Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; with complimentary elements of other evidence-based approaches to flexibly adapt therapy to each person uniquely.
