I have 28 years of experience working in the field of mental health in various roles. As a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist my focus areas are working with grief and loss, shame, anxiety, and self esteem. My approach is informed by the Existential/Humanistic perspective, compassionate inquiry, and mindfulness approaches.
My aim is to support you in developing understanding, self acceptance and compassion for yourself as you discover why you feel what you feel and do what you do. We will examine your beliefs, thoughts and behaviours using a psychodynamic approach.
The relationship you have with your therapist is paramount. Without this the therapy cannot take place. I encourage you to meet with several therapists and contact me if you would like to explore further. I believe that how we show up for ourselves is how we show up to the world. I would love to support in your journey.

I practice long term psychodynamic psychotherapy where treatment focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. The relationship between you and I supports self-reflection and self-examination, to see into problematic relationship patterns in your life. Using the narrative I can explore unconscious behaviours. Techniques might include art therapy, parts or body work among others.

I have been trained with Elena in the same program. She brings a welcoming, kind, and the most calming (just by her voice) atmosphere to the therapy room. She models resilience, a testament of her personal journey and unique talent in grief counselling.

My focus is the relationship between myself and client, building trust and rapport. My practice mainly uses your narrative but I use several lenses to interpret what is underlying your emotional response.
