Integrative Psychotherapy 

Integrative psychotherapy combines various therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client.

In my practice I primarily draw from depth-oriented approaches such as psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, Jungian, and humanistic therapies.

Is Psychotherapy for Me?

Many people wonder if psychotherapy is the right choice for them.

Here are some signs that psychotherapy might be beneficial:

  • You are struggling with a bereavement or relationship loss.

  • You experience recurring dreams, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts.

  • You are looking to explore your inner world to understand yourself better.

  • You are seeking support for a personality disorder or style.

  • You are confused about your sexuality or relationship with sex and intimacy.

  • You have experienced a traumatic event in the past.

  • You are experiencing a depression or suicidal thoughts.

  • You have an interest in depth psychology and understanding the unconscious.

  • You feel stuck or overwhelmed by certain aspects of your life.

  • You experience persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress.

  • Your relationships are strained or conflict-ridden.

  • You find yourself in repetitive patterns of toxic relationships or situationships.

  • You have difficulty managing your emotions or behaviours.

  • You have lost meaning or a sense of purpose in your life.

  • You want to explore your relationship with spirituality and the numinous.

  • You find yourself self-medicating your pain with alcohol, drugs, sex, love, technology, porn, gambling, exercise, etc.

My Approach

  • Simple illustration of a circle with a thin, pinkish outline on a white background.

    Psychodynamic

    I recognise unconscious patterns, defence mechanisms and inner conflicts that usually stem from childhood which can then effect current relationships with self and others. I also have a psychoanalytic framework for personality styles and disorders.

  • Two overlapping circles, forming a Venn diagram.

    Humanistic

    I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space based on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence, as well as looking at existential issues such as purpose and meaning.

  • Three overlapping circles in a triangular arrangement on a white background.

    Holistic

    I take into account the interconnectedness of the mind, body, & spirit by acknowledging the role of somatics, the nervous system, nutrition, gut health, movement, nature, social connections, sleep, as well as the energy body, chakra system, and spirituality.

  • Four overlapping circles arranged in a square pattern on a white background.

    Jungian

    I explore and understand archetypes and complexes through the use of symbols, dreams, active imagination, and shadow work to guide towards individuation and the Self.
