AREAS OF FOCUS

In my experience of working with clients, re-parenting skills will introduce new ways of feeling, thinking, interacting and being. This process allows you, the client, to rediscover your power and gain self-reliance. This process can be challenging – however, together we will find your strengths, even if you may not see them. I am here to help you find your true and authentic self.

My style of work comes from a combination of psycho dynamic, family systems and attachment theory, based on the idea that our present condition has an intrinsic connection to our family history. I also find Gestalt theory for the “Here and Now” and “I and Thou” experiences in session, which mirror what happens outside of the therapy room to be beneficial in this process.

I utilize Mindfulness, breathing exercises and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

I have extensive knowledge and experience working with individuals struggling with:

• Anxiety, panic, and OCD
• Abandonment
• Anger management
• Boundary issues
• Cultural isolation
• Existential stress: isolation, emptiness, life transitions

• Unhealthy relationship dynamics: including dysfunctional communication styles
• Self-esteem; shame, grandiosity, lack of confidence, identity issues
