Orientation

I primarily practice through a Psychodynamic framework. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a long-term form of talk therapy that focuses on exploring the unconscious thoughts, emotions and past experiences that make us who we are. By bringing awareness and insight to these internal experience’s clients are able to process with their therapist difficult emotions that have been suppressed or avoided which often come out in problematic behaviours and emotional experiences. In Psychodynamic therapy the relationship between therapist and client is a central part of therapeutic outcomes, that is why I strive to facilitate a non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe and secure talking about some of the more difficult things in life while knowing confidentiality will be held at all times. My goal as your therapist will be to guide you through the more difficult things you have experienced in life to ultimately get to a place in where you are no longer affected consciously and unconsciously while being able to become your authentic self.
