The many twists and turns of life can be challenging to process and navigate. You may have experienced new or longstanding adversity that can make relationships challenging, cause overwhelming anxiety, or lead you to become withdrawn and depressed. I will collaborate with you to develop a warm, compassionate therapeutic relationship to help you explore how your body and mind respond to the complex emotions that emerge with such life adversity. For most of us, these patterns are automatic, but as you get to know yourself you can uncover new choices and options for meaningful, lasting change.
I would describe my approach to therapy as person-centred and humanistic. It is based on the belief that all people have a fundamental and inherent capacity for healing and growth. With openness, curiosity, and authenticity, I will work with you to help you harness your healing capacity to actualize your goals and potential.
I have received advanced training and supervision in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. This is a person-centred approach that helps people understand and gain greater control over the impact of conflicted thoughts and feelings. If you are interested in exploring how emotions are affecting your day-to-day life and mental health, please contact me.
