My approach to therapy is rooted in psychodynamic theory, understanding that the difficulties people face in the present are often connected to or shaped by earlier experiences. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership between a therapist and an individual, one that offers a safe, non-judgmental space for a client to explore their emotions, thoughts, ways of relating, and any questions that arise, at their own pace. In-depth exploration of this kind has the power to move beyond symptom relief, fostering insight and laying the foundation for deeper self-understanding, a shift that may continue to serve long after therapy ends.
My areas of interest include exploring identity, culture, sexuality and sense of self; supporting clients through life transitions and emotional difficulties like anxiety, stress, depression, grief, loneliness and anger; suicidal thoughts; trauma; chronic illness; relationship difficulties; divorce and separation; managing distress and intense emotions.
There is no uniform approach to therapy and taking that first step can feel daunting. If you feel drawn to explore your thoughts and emotions, I invite you to reach out for an initial session.
