My approach to therapy
My therapeutic approach has it's foundations in psychodynamic psychotherapy meaning I find great importance in a clients upbringing and their parental/relational figures. I also utilize holistic practices and weave in mindfulness and somatic therapies. I work most closely with clients who are seeking therapy for anxiety, depression and trauma.
What you can expect from me
Common goals my clients and I strive towards in their sessions include an increase in self awareness and self actualization, enhanced communication skills, increased social connectedness and greater involvement with passions and positive coping tools.
