About

Often times life can be difficult, creating coping patterns that work for a while but slowly take away from our wellness. Asking for help can be hard when you feel hopeless to do anything to change. Whether it is feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, substance use, distorted body image, eating related struggles, life transitions, low self-esteem, ageing related issues or symptoms related to complex trauma, therapy can help gain insight into the experience of being human, identify what isn’t working for you and develop the skills to resolve current life challenges. You don’t have to do it alone.

Working from a (Jungian) depth psychological perspective I enjoy collaborating with individuals to explore and navigate their lives through an eclectic approach using mindfulness, somatic practices, dreamwork, images, active imagination, myth and other integrative and psychodynamic practices attending to each client’s needs.

I approach the therapeutic relationship with warmth, empathy and perspective from a self-examined life. Working on reinforcing strengths, teaching regulation skills and increasing resilience for positive experiences we work to overcome obstacles, tapping into inner wisdom and ultimately achieving improved overall mental health.
