I practice psychodynamic therapy. My approach is warm, non-directive, non-judgmental, and holistic, as it welcomes you as a whole, including your history, your background, your personality, and your embodied experience.
My specialities include trauma, anxiety, depression, issues related to self-worth/self-esteem, and interpersonal dynamics. There is often a focus on childhood and how our past effects our present and future, but also emphasis on creating change.
