Depression and Anxiety Therapy
Feeling overwhelmed by a constant cloud of despair or gripped by unrelenting worry? I'm here to help guide you back to a place of calm and clarity. Together, we'll explore the roots of your emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience to navigate life's challenges with greater ease.
Existential therapy
Wrestling with questions of purpose and grappling with existential uncertainty? I provide a compassionate space to explore these profound existential themes. Through deep reflection and existential inquiry, we'll uncover meaning amidst the uncertainty, helping you cultivate a sense of purpose and vitality in your life.
Couple's Counseling
Are you and your partner facing challenges in your relationship? Couples counselling can help you rebuild trust, improve communication, and resolve conflicts in a healthy way. Whether you're struggling with frequent arguments, emotional distance, or major life transitions, professional therapy can guide you toward a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Do you often find yourself repeating negative patterns in relationships, struggling with unresolved emotions, or feeling overwhelmed without knowing why? Psychodynamic therapy helps you explore the deeper layers of your mind, uncovering unconscious thoughts and past experiences that shape your present behaviors. This therapy provides a safe and supportive space to understand yourself better and create lasting emotional change.
Life transitions
Major life changes—whether expected or unexpected—can be overwhelming and bring a mix of emotions. Whether you’re starting a new job, going through a breakup, becoming a parent, or facing retirement, life transitions can stir up anxiety, uncertainty, and stress. Therapy provides a supportive space to process these emotions, gain clarity, and build resilience during times of change.
Loss and Grief
Coping with the pain of loss and navigating the grieving process can feel overwhelming. I provide compassionate support to individuals mourning the loss of a loved one or experiencing other forms of grief. Through gentle guidance and therapeutic techniques, we'll honor your unique journey of healing and find ways to integrate loss into your life while preserving cherished memories.

My Approach
A Personalized & Integrative Therapy Style
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead of adhering to a single school of psychology, I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, tailoring each session to your unique needs. My approach is both psychodynamically and existentially informed, focusing on deep self-exploration, personal meaning, and emotional growth.
Rooted in Existential & Attachment Theory
My work is strongly influenced by Dr. Irvin Yalom’s Existential Psychoanalysis and John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory. These frameworks help us explore how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape your current experiences. Together, we’ll examine the deeper forces at play in your life—your relationships, fears, and the search for meaning—so you can navigate challenges with greater clarity and resilience.
Active & Insightful Sessions
Therapy with me is an active and exploratory process. My sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy; we engage in deep self-inquiry, identifying patterns that may be holding you back. Many clients tell me that working with me feels different—we focus on uncovering new insights, not just rehashing familiar struggles.
Uncovering Hidden Patterns
Much of what shapes our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors lies just beneath the surface. Over time, we develop beliefs and coping mechanisms that once served us but may now limit our ability to connect, grow, and thrive. My role is to help you bring these patterns into awareness so you can break free from self-imposed barriers and move toward a more fulfilling, authentic life.
