Therapist Overview
I am committed to respecting you wherever you are in the journey of life, and to help you grow and become a creative and empowered individual. My practice focuses on understanding the deep relational dynamics that are on the way of people moving forward and living a meaningful life. I am trained in both Psychoanalytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and EMDR. I use these approaches to treat symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and PTSD, and to understand and work through relationship or identity issues. I have a special focus in Perinatal Psychology and Postpartum Depression and have carried out research in this area. I can help mothers and couples prepare psychologically for the birth of their baby, and after the birth I can help them create a healthy attachment to their children. I have lived in different countries and as such I understand the impact of migration, interracial/intercultural/interfaith marriages, and acculturation challenges.
