I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist with eight years of experience working with teens and adults. People often come to see me about working on their behavioural patterns, the conflicts in their life, how these conflicts show up in their relationships. Throughout my practice, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals overcome a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, migration, identity, and relationship issues.
I believe that everyone’s experiences are shaped by their unique background, upbringing, and personal history. In my perspective, psychodynamic psychotherapy is a collaborative process in which the clients observe their thoughts and feelings, understand them, and broaden their perspective on how our past plays a key part in how we interact and negotiate the world in the present. Each symptom is an invitation of a cure.
I respect and value that we each have unique and varied ways to communicate and make sense of the world, and these varieties enrich our lives. I am here to attune to you while becoming aware of your emotions, behaviours and resources – but also of your needs and values.
