I work with people struggling to make sense of a life transition, their sense of self and those struggling with anxiety and stress management.
I draw from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and person-centred care. I have a psychodynamic background and a research interest in attachment theory. The combination of these practices are super helpful in the journey of connecting the dots, making sense of things as they are, while exploring how they came to be.
