Why psychotherapy?
Everyone experiences difficult times in their life &emdah stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, grief, or relational struggles. Often we can
move through them with insight, friends and
family, or practices such as meditation and
yoga. Sometimes however we have painful experiences that we feel we cannot
share with those around us, leaving us with a sense of isolation. We may
be hiding parts of
ourselves out of fear of rejection or we may not dare to try new things. Or we
get stuck because even in trying to change we fall back to familiar
patterns; we have a blind spot for truly new possibilities.
Therapy can help you break through the isolation, gain insight, and reconnect with forgotten parts of yourself. Sharing your experience with
another human being in a confidential, supportive, and gently challenging
setting can bring more clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Clients I work with often bring issues such as identity and belonging, life transitions, trauma (including developmental and complex trauma), shame, relationship difficulties, and the impact of neurodivergence or cultural displacement. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and experienced in working with clients who straddle multiple cultures or identities.
