Are you stuck in dysfunctional and self-sabotaging patterns? Do you have high expectations for yourself that you can never satisfy? Are you experiencing inner turmoil and outer irritability you can’t settle? Psychotherapy could help with these. I believe that self-understanding, the awareness of and ability to understand one’s actions and reactions, is important for personal transformation. Using a gentle, introspective approach, I provide clients with the space to be curious about their past and current experiences. I believe personal transformation can happen to everyone at any age.

I provide a caring and safe environment for my clients, valuing the process of getting to understand them on a deeper level. Therapy will be both emotionally explorative and solution-focused each session, allowing the client to learn about one’s thoughts and feelings, as well as develop coping skills in order to reduce negative symptoms. I have gathered experience working with adolescents, adults and couples, with a special interest in DBT group therapy, individual therapy for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-harm and trauma, as well as couples therapy, focusing on relational, marital and/or sexual difficulties.

Every client has the capacity to experience change in their lives. As we navigate the ups and downs of life, we can find ourselves feeling stuck and unsure which direction to take. I encourage clients to draw from their strengths as a source of empowerment and resilience. I encourage curiosity, vulnerability and self-compassion. Trust and respect are important in the therapeutic process and I welcome all parts of self clients wish to give a voice to during our time together.
