Client Types: Adults (18+).
I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, helping you to gain insight, develop coping skills, and make positive changes in your life. I work with many issues, including maternal mental health, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sexual abuse, and trauma.
My Approach: My training is in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy. Through a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, a deeper understanding of you and your underlying patterns can be discovered. Sometimes, ways we have adapted to difficulties in the past can begin to hinder us in the present. Together, we can explore and uncover these unconscious patterns, allowing you greater autonomy and choice moving forward.
I firmly believe the most important component of psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship. Not every therapist will be right for every client. I consider the first 1 to 3 sessions to be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and decide if we will work together effectively. It is important to remember that your therapy is for you. Your therapist should make you feel safe and heard. It is okay to have sessions with more than one therapist to find the right person for you.
I have experience in both the public and private sectors. This includes work at Aronui Ora (Maternal Mental Health), where I experienced the ways in which childhood trauma can reemerge during pivotal life moments. Psychotherapy can provide an excellent tool with which to approach the past to help with the present.
