I work especially in the treatment and assessment of adult ADHD, anxiety disorders (OCD, social phobia, and panic attacks), chronic depression, and complex PTSD.
I am a psychodynamic and behavioural therapist. This means that I work to create and hold a space for thinking and feeling through experiences, difficulties, contradictions, losses, and hopes; while considering the impact of behaviours, and assisting with evidence-based practices as appropriate.
Therapy is a vulnerable process. It's important that you feel good about your therapist. Feel free to sense this out over a short video call or initial session.
