The ways we think, relate, and cope are often developed for good reason earlier in life; the difficulty is that they don’t always translate well into adulthood. Strategies that once helped now get in the way. We often find ourselves repeating the same patterns that adversely impact our relationships, leaving us feeling disconnected from others and ourselves. Therapy is about making sense of that. Not just insight for its own sake, but awareness that leads to change. I can help you understand yourself and your relationship with the world around you, so you can be better equipped to face life’s challenges and gain emotional resilience
I offer a therapeutic relationship where you can be yourself, and also experiment with other ways of being, rather than being told who you should be. I’m a humanistic and psychodynamic therapist who adapts how I work depending on who you are and what you need. My style is engaged, relational, collaborative, and at times direct; underpinned by compassion.
I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to explore what may be contributing to your current difficulties, offering an environment for you to express anger or need without the risk of retribution. I offer a free 15 min intro call or Zoom where we can begin to identify your therapeutic needs.
