Do you sometimes sit in meetings afraid that everyone can see that you’re a fraud? You sweat profusely at the thought of approaching others? Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your identity after major changes or transitions? Life doesn’t come with a user manual. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming or confusing to make sense of the anxiety and stress that overtake our mind.

Psychotherapy for me is not a prescription, nor a “how-to” manual.  It is rather an unscripted journey that involves looking for the person that you are, a person with a story, with needs, with brokenness, and with strengths.  This search and discovery can often lead to a world that can be less burdened with constant censoring and checking for safety, and more endowed with acceptance and freedom.

"Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." - Margery Williams Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit I consider psychodynamic psychotherapy to be, fundamentally, a learning process focused on your Self - your thoughts, feelings and behavioural patterns, your fantasies and wishes, the realities of your developmental history - and any discord therein. This kind of learning makes use of an Other - someone you can ask to listen as you express your ...

Honest reflection allows untapped potential to flourish.In our fast-paced world, we can default to old patterns and lose track of creativity and spontaneity.
