What I Offer
In our weekly sessions, I provide a reliable and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore whatever is on your mind. Taking a collaborative approach, I work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, through curiosity and open exploration, we can uncover deeper insights and foster meaningful growth.
My Approach
I work from a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic perspective. It is a talking therapy that focuses on understanding how past experiences, including early relationships and childhood events, influence your present thoughts, feelings, and relating to others. It explores patterns and unconscious processes that may be shaping your emotions, relationships, and sense of self.
This approach goes beyond addressing surface-level symptoms, aiming to shed light on and uncover the underlying causes of emotional distress. By bringing these unconscious dynamics into awareness, psychodynamic therapy can help foster meaningful, lasting change.
