What I specialise in:
I use a Systemic Approach to bring clarity on how the various facets of our identity inform our life, and how that understanding can provide new perspectives in navigating life’s challenges.
Together, we will explore the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that make up your psyche, as well as the various unique aspects of your identity. Through the uncovering of deeper needs, insights and strengths we will work towards finding perspective, fufillment and meaning through actionable steps and skills.
I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and families. My aim is to help couples and families rebuild trust, recognize relationship patterns, and rekindle their connection. I also support couples seeking a positive and healthy conclusion.
Who I work with:
My background and therapeutic experience has allowed me to work with people from diverse age groups and multicultural backgrounds. I enjoy collaborating with individuals from different cultures and am able to tailor my approach according to each persons unique background, culture and stage of life.
WHAt TO EXPECT
I enjoy adding a touch of creativity and interactivity to my sessions with experiential work as well as talk therapy. This will allow us to look at issues from different perspectives and experience change on somatic and experiential levels. I also believe in creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can freely discuss your stressors, uncover core beliefs, and work collaboratively with me on strategies to achieve what you yearn for in life.
mY PROMISE
Genuine Connection: I promise to foster a genuine connection with you, where trust and authenticity are at the heart of our therapeutic relationship. By deeply listening and truly understanding your experiences, I will support you in feeling seen, heard, and valued.
Non-judgmental space: You can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are met with empathy and compassion. I am committed to understanding your unique perspective without any bias or criticism, allowing you the freedom to explore and express yourself openly.
Professionalism and Empowerment: I believe in providing the tools, techniques, and knowledge that will move you towards positive change. Therapy does not just mean feeling better but taking meaningful steps toward valued goals and well-being.
