Substance Use Therapists in Claremont

I have a psychotherapy practice that offers clients specialized psychotherapeutic care. My practice is for adults who need help with problems like mood disorders, substance use disorders and even aspects of their own personality they may find difficult to change. I like to collaborate with clients, to think together with them about what they may need to reflect on that will bring them value and meaning in their day-to-day life. In addition to this I think it is important to examine patterns of excessive or unhelpful behaviour that compromise their feeling of self-coherence, agency and place in the world.

I am an experienced Counselling Psychologist with a demonstrated history of working in the education sector. I am particularly passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. Therapy can be useful to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe space free of judgement. We will work together in a way that aims to facilitate healing, self efficacy and growth throughout your therapeutic journey. "The greatest force is the power within you"

My main focus is individuals in crisis whether acute or not. I specialise in treating anxious and depressed individuals. I provide a safe space in which to understand the reasons underlying anxiety and depression and identify maladaptive coping strategies. Then we work to replace the maladaptive coping strategies with healthy ones. I also enjoy couples therapy and interventions targeting parenting issues. In addition I offer supportive therapy to individuals who are struggling with substance use .

I have been in practice for over 20 years, seeing adults, teens and couples for psychotherapy. My approach is psychoanalytic psychotherapy which is informed by attachment and infant research into how the mind develops and best heals within the context of a therapeutic relationship.

I believe that everyone has the power within themselves to make positive changes, and I strive to assist them on their journey of healing.
