We all want to feel whole and achieve meaningful goals in our lives. To do so requires honesty and dedication, especially around the insecurities and defense mechanisms that have become ingrained within our personality. I can help you zoom out to gain more familiarity with your true Self trying to break through the surface of your persona. On one hand, it can be very anxiety provoking to feel that there is more to life than this. But, at the same time, it is an invitation to know, forgive and love yourself unconditionally. An invitation to feel into unknown selves and shadows, to accept You exactly the way you really are.
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 specialise in psychedelic harm reduction and integration.
Reach out to me if you have a specific psycho-emotional-spiritual challenge to work on together. Or if want to collaborate with me before and after you use psychedelics or cannabis. Increasingly I am bringing more shamanic and transpersonal principles into my work. I also have first hand experience of mental illness, and non-ordinary states of consciousness

Over the last 20 yrs, I started off as a youth worker and addiction counsellor. Then I moved into hospital-based psychiatry work. My private practice opened in 2018 and since 2021 I've increasingly been helping people that use psychedelics/cannabis to reduce risk and maximise benefits.

I work with people that have a clinical diagnosis as well as undiagnosed people simply seeking more self-knowledge and life thriving. When we start working together I will ask you to complete several pieces of paperwork, including an informed consent form and a bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment. From this, we co-develop a treatment plan and identify the goals we are aiming for.

Being Jewish and bisexual gives me additional cultural competence that helps me support Jewish and LGBTQ clients through my own lived experience. I practice a humanistic strengths-based style of psychotherapy, with aspects of coaching and mindfulness training. During our sessions I avoid using complicated theories and concepts. It is my job to help you make our work meaningful and practical.
