Approach
In my private practice, every individual’s unique story is held in mind, and I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect. I believe that mental wellness, identity, and relationships are deeply interconnected. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and relationship dynamics to build emotional resilience, encourage authentic self-expression, nurture meaningful connections, and support your personal growth.
My psychodynamic approach, driven by a curiosity about the human experience, allows us to delve beneath the surface. We will create awareness of internal patterns and relationship dynamics that may be distressing and are no longer beneficial to you.
Healing becomes possible when you are open to risking new ways of being in the world.
In our therapeutic relationship, I aim to create a safe space, filled with empathy and understanding, where the therapy space becomes a microcosm for exploring how we can shift these patterns.
How to choose a therapist
It is important to feel good about your therapist. I'm happy to offer you a complimentary 15-minute consultation, allowing you to get a sense of my approach and see if we're a good fit.
How to use psychotherapy
The primary goal of psychotherapy is to facilitate meaningful change. A crucial factor in achieving successful outcomes is your willingness to take ownership of your growth, embracing responsibility for the changes you seek.
How often will we meet?
I recommend attending therapy sessions consistently. Weekly sessions have been shown to be the most effective, as they allow us to build momentum, reinforce new insights, and work through challenges.
