Life is messy, and being human is complex. Feeling fulfilled or finding meaning doesn't always come naturally, and that's OK.
Much of my focus is on the subconscious, where defense mechanisms and ingrained patterns can block growth and keep you stuck. Once we identify what needs to shift, we can begin to reshape the personal narratives that no longer serve you, clearing space for a deeper sense of self to emerge.
I bring a depth of clinical experience and training to our work. But meaningful change only happens when you're willing to step out of your comfort zone by investing time into the intimate process of transformation.
As a psychodynamic therapist I utilise a variety of tools and techniques that I've been trained in. With foundations in CBT and psychoanalysis, and a strong leaning towards somatic-informed mindfulness-based approaches. I support clients with depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD. I also specialize in psychedelic harm reduction and integration.
Reach out to me if you have a specific question or challenge to work on together. Most clients feel that something is missing in life and that they themselves have lost meaning. If this sounds true, feel free to reach out - I also offer complementary discovery calls!
