Works with: Depression, prolonged procrastination, inertia and listless behavior. Addiction and/or addictive behavior, avoidance in life, work and relationships
Therapy Modalities: xperiential and client-led; my approach is integrative, working with humanistic, and psychodynamic modalities of therapy.
My approach: I work with a client-led approach to provide an experiential mode of therapy. With a holistic approach towards mind and body, I focus on psychosomatic symptoms that most often appear recurringly and are presumed to be disconnected from the mind. Mild symptoms of Schizophrenia are worked within the therapy room with or without the medical approach.
Somatic experiencing and re-experiencing is a special focus for me since our bodily symptoms act as a radar and help detect trauma and many other forms of covert hidden experiences. These show up as addiction and addictive behaviors, eating disorders and issues of obesity / borderline obesity amongst many other symptoms.

My Approach: I work with young adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem difficulties, gender identity, relationship/interpersonal concerns, body image difficulties, trauma, and grief. I approach mental health by recognising the vital role played by early life experiences, our environments, and close relationships in our present lives and functioning. I believe that recognising, honouring, and (where needed) grieving our lived experiences allows us to connect to the present moment, live with autonomy, and take responsibility for our choices in the here and now. My focus is on creating an exploratory and reflective space where clients can recall, process, understand, and integrate their experiences. I maintain confidentiality as per professional ethical guidelines, and will usually discuss confidentiality and therapeutic boundaries in our early sessions. My clients and I collaboratively decide short- and long-term goals for therapy, and work towards them. Ultimately, I hope that our work together empowers my clients to be their authentic selves and live with agency.

I have an awareness of power dynamics in the therapeutic relationship, and I try to maintain a balance and promote equality.
