🌿 My Approach
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a reflective and in-depth approach to help you explore the unconscious patterns that influence your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
This form of therapy can be especially helpful for individuals experiencing psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low mood, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, relational problems, personality difficulties, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, or phobias.
Together, we work to understand the emotional roots of your distress, including past experiences that may still be shaping your present. Psychodynamic therapy encourages self-awareness and insight; helping you uncover desires, fears, and internal conflicts, even when they are not fully conscious.
Through this process, you will find yourself better able to make empowered decisions, reduce self-sabotaging patterns, and manage both positive and painful emotions in a more balanced way. The goal is not just symptom relief but lasting emotional growth and improved well-being.
Therapy is available in English or Spanish, and sessions can be offered in person, online, or by phone, depending on what feels most accessible and comfortable for you.
CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
- Providing psychodynamic therapy to clients from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds, many of whom have experienced racism, cultural stigma, or marginalisation.
- Supporting clients facing a wide range of psychological and emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, suicidal ideation, borderline personality disorders, or the emotional effects of domestic and sexual abuse.
- I have significant experience in delivering therapeutic support to adolescents and young adults, with particular attention to identity development, family systems, academic stress, and the impact of social media and peer pressure. This work has fostered a deeper understanding of the unique pressures young people face and the importance of creating a safe, non-judgemental space to explore their experiences and build resilience.
- I have experience working with the emotional impact of family estrangement, including the pain of losing contact with a parent or child and the complex feelings that can follow – grief, anger, guilt, shame, relief or confusion. I can offer a space to make sense of what has happened, process losses, strengthen boundaries, and explore options for moving forward—whether that means accepting no contact, finding a way to cope, or considering safe, thoughtful steps toward reconciliation if possible.
- I am committed to providing inclusive, affirming support for LGBT+ clients, with sensitivity to the specific challenges they may face.
- I have experience in conducting initial assessments and developing psychodynamic formulations to inform therapeutic focus and support clinical decision-making.
