Dear Reader: The reason I get out of bed every morning is not because I believe life is easy - but that it is difficult. What makes life difficult is the fact, that it presents an endless series of problems which require solutions. The very process of confronting and solving life's problems can be a painful one; at times full of sadness, confusion, anxiety, hurt, anger, fear and loneliness. These are uncomfortable feelings, sometimes highly distressing and can equal the worst kind of physical pain. Fearing the suffering involved, almost all of us have attempted to avoid confronting these problems.

Are you finding it hard to connect with yourself and others? Have you been feeling down, disinterested, withdrawn or anxious? Perhaps recent experiences have left you feeling crippled with self-doubt. Or maybe the best way to describe it is simply that you’re feeling stuck? I would like to help. Together we will identify persisting patterns of relating to the self and your environment that leave you feeling this way. We will chart a course to self-awareness and acceptance through alternative paths and choices. Using a psychodynamic approach, I create a safe space for us to explore difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Although no topics are off limits, many people see me for problems in relationship, grief and loss, personal growth and unresolved childhood and family issues. Often clients seek help when they are at a cross roads in their lives and need support and guidance on how to move through problems, overcome obstacles, and move in a direction that is in line with their own life compass.

Life brings to each of us many lessons, sometimes they are tough. Is that something you are experiencing right now? Feeling exhausted, feeling you need to do it alone, feeling to hide and not be seen? Has your relationship worsened, health compromised or not having enough energy to constantly go without even knowing where? I've been there and know how it hurts. Realizing that these are experiences of burn out is a first step, reconnecting with our body second and readjusting and revising our beliefs and habits next. You don't have to be in this alone. I am here for you. And I would be honoured to guide you to better energized self.

Psychoanalysis is a way to understand and overcome different levels and forms of stress generated by challenging events or deficits occurring in human life. Those undesirable events are sometimes too intense to affect human personality and cause suffering and challenging existential moments. In those moments, we feel the emotional need for personal psychological support that implies not only professional readiness and personal maturity to help but also concrete humanistic values cultivated in our professional ethics.
