I always learn from the teens, young adults & families I’ve worked with, but this is most important for me to remember: Even behaviors that may appear ineffective from the outside looking in, usually have wisdom at their core. When a person is in pain, they generally want to feel better. My clients all come to therapy because what they’ve been doing to feel better ultimately isn’t working any longer. We work together to address what’s at the core of their pain & focus on managing that more effectively, without negative repercussions. We will together build a set of skills to help them feel more empowered & effective in their life.

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” Sigmund Freud. I would like to invite you to a safe space of a co-created relationship, where you can talk without being judged, make meaning of what you have been going through, and co-discover this meaning in free association. I am trained in contemporary psychoanalysis, gestalt and expressive arts therapies as well as crisis interventions.

You may be thinking about therapy due to depression, anxiety, loss, stress, burnout, relationship issues, life transitions such as parenthood and retirement. These concerns can feel more overwhelming when we live abroad in unfamiliar surroundings. Medication can provide short-term relief for emotional distress, but there are side effects. You may be concerned about how COVID 19 is affecting your work, your relationships and your life. This pandemic is challenging the world’s mental health in so many ways. You've been coping alone for a while and feel like having someone alongside you to explore your challenges.
