I understand that your challenges—whether they involve mental health concerns like anxiety or depression, the lasting effects of trauma or PTSD, struggles with ADHD, or difficulties with sleep, intimacy, or relationships—are deeply personal and shaped by your unique context. Together, we’ll explore your experiences within the broader tapestry of your life, including your perceptions, history, and relationships, to uncover meaningful insights and pathways to growth.

The name of my website, The I--Thou, was inspired by philosopher Martin Buber’s concept of I-Thou relationships, which reflects the essence of my therapeutic approach. Buber described I-Thou as a way of relating that is authentic, present, and mutual, in contrast to I-It, which objectifies and distances. In therapy, I strive to embody an I-Thou connection, creating a safe, collaborative space where you are seen and valued as a whole person. This framework aligns with the deeply relational and present-centred nature of the work we do together.

With this present-centred approach, we will focus on what you feel and experience in the here and now. This moment holds valuable clues about who you are and how you navigate the world. By tuning into your thoughts, emotions, and sensations, we can uncover patterns that illuminate your struggles and guide you toward meaningful change.

Drawing from a range of holistic and evidence-based modalities—including Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—I tailor our work to meet your specific needs. These tools help us explore your inner world, foster greater awareness, and create the foundation for lasting transformation.

Our sessions offer a safe and collaborative space where we can delve into sensitive areas, whether they involve overcoming trauma, improving relationships, or managing issues like sleep disturbances or intimacy challenges. My responses aim to offer fresh perspectives and deepen your self-understanding, helping you navigate experiences that may feel overwhelming or unclear.

We may also create experiments to enhance your awareness. These could include rephrasing a thought, tuning into physical sensations, or examining your internal experience when I say your phrase back to you. Such experiments allow you to gain clarity, try out new perspectives, and discover different ways of expressing yourself.

With nearly two decades of experience, I specialize in helping people navigate the interplay of mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. By integrating mindfulness, relational dynamics, and innovative bottom-up approaches, I support you in addressing past challenges, uncovering unhelpful patterns, and cultivating a life aligned with your values.

Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, working through trauma, improving sleep, or strengthening your relationships, our work together offers a path toward self-discovery, empowerment, and meaningful change.
