My Approach

As an integrative psychotherapist I tailor my approach
to individual clients’ needs, according to their unique life experiences and
preferences, to help them develop a greater sense of self-awareness, self-
compassion, and resilience. I accept everyone for who they are and is a
strong believer that while hurtful experiences within relationships can cause
pain and damage, the very nature of human connection provides the
potential for healing and growth. This healing happens in a therapeutic
relationship between the therapist and the client by processing past hurts,
and rebuilding trust.
I am trained to work with a broad range of tools including talking and
play/arts therapy. I incorporate into my work the principles of
psychodynamic psychotherapy, play therapy, sand play therapy, Gestalt,
CBT techniques and mindfulness-based therapy. I also offer EMDR therapy
which can help with a range of issues, especially in processing past
traumas. My work is informed by the recent research in neuroscience and
attachment theory.
My goal is to create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where
clients can delve into their emotions, thoughts, and experiences on an
emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and physical level.
I see all my psychotherapy clients in person.
