Welcome, I offer Trauma-informed Psychodynamic Therapy . Have you been feeling disconnected, seeking to process the past, explore boundaries in relationships, process family of origin dynamics or gain a deeper sense of self-understanding? Repeating relationship patterns, attachment experiences, & the ongoing impact of C-PTSD, childhood trauma , addiction, or occupational trauma can feel overwhelming, confusing, & exhausting. If you’re looking to work through emotional experience, build self-compassion, & create meaningful shifts toward greater balance & emotional wellbeing I welcome you to connect.
Psychodynamic therapy is a depth-oriented, trauma-informed approach that helps uncover the emotional roots of distress. Exploring internal patterns, relational wounds, & long-standing defences helps to foster deep emotional self-understanding and allows for meaningful internal shifts supporting more secure, fulfilling relationships with yourself & others.
Whatever brings you to therapy, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we can make sense of the patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen your emotional wellbeing, and help you feel more connected to yourself and others. If this resonates with you, I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how therapy may support you on your journey.
