My passion is my work, I love being a therapist. I want my clients to feel safe, heard, seen and validated. I work with clients from many different walks of life and with a variety of issues they want to work. Fundamentally you have to understand how your experiences in life have shaped you into the person you are. Genetics, your family system, the external culture and the systems that govern your life; all play a role in how you have learned to cope and function in this world. Anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts tend to make sense when we explore our own stories. You are not broken, you are human
I take a deep and explorative approach to psychotherapy. We will cover a lot in our sessions with the aim of self knowledge and empowerment. I am a very open minded and accepting person and feel very strongly about helping my clients to accept all parts of themselves. I incorporate my love of somatic work into talk therapy to help you find out who you are.
I care deeply about helping my clients to find their way towards stability and regain their sense of self. We will work to understand faulty core beliefs and establishing new ones that support a healthy inner world. I truly believe we are all capable of change if we are able to find the right support.
