I am an experienced and compassionate Psychotherapist. During our sessions, I will create a non-judgemental and confidential space where all of your different parts can be invited to share. My initial training has been in the Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic modality which enables me to build on the Therapeutic relationship and trust that all issues will emerge in that interaction and have a chance to be processed and healthily responded to. I am also trained in evidence-based modalities, such as CBT and DBT to teach you skills to manage the symptoms that distress you. I know that it takes courage to take the first step, however, most people are so glad they have taken action, and no longer suffer alone without support and positive change. I specialize in all relationship issues, sexuality, LGBTQ+ issues, individual empowerment, and helping you to move forward from self-defeating patterns that limit your life. I am looking forward to working with you and guiding you in your journey toward your chosen best life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I want to get enough sense of what are the primary issues and sources of distress. I also want you to feel comfortable to assess our therapeutic relationship and to ask any questions that you need in order to decide whether you wish to choose me as your guide and partner in your wellness and growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My niche has been formed from decades of Clinical experience and deep work on myself so that I can hold your experiences without getting in the way, and be able to guide you in your journey confidently and empathically. I have a passion in Psychology, and know that it is an important role with a lot of responsibility and empathy. I do not have all the answers, but I am comfortable taking accountability for the role as your Therapist. I know from experience that people are more than their pain, and symptoms, and I am here to help you heal enough in order to find your true path in your life.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Interested in Clients who are interested in the growth and process of Psychotherapy and are motivated in understanding their authentic selves with a compassionate and competent Clinician.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

The Psychodynamic method uses the Therapeutic relationship to create a supportive container where all relational issues can come up and be processed safely

Attachment-based

The Attachment method acknowledges that our initial attachment styles from Family of origin impact the way we relate in our relationships, including the Therapeutic relationship where safe shifts can be initiated to improve relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Sometimes our own programmed thinking can get in our way of our goal, aspirations, and overall success and growth. CBT helps us understand our negative thought patterns , and begin to establish more self supporting and empowering thinking towards our journey.

Feminist

Prejudice is intrinsically a Mental health trauma. Women have experienced collectively the oppression and assumptions of a sexist world. We address that trauma in Therapy, and investigate its effect on your overall functioning and relationships
