Description:
In individual therapy, I see clients who are experiencing depression and anxiety, having difficulties resolving past or current relationship issues and struggling with issues related to sexual functioning. I also support clients to address self and relationship issues in the aftermath of different types of traumatic and overwhelming life experiences, such as emotional and physical abuse and neglect and sexual abuse. I also work with clients to help them deal with grief from past losses, cope with work place stressors and burnout, face life threatening or terminal illnesses and explore existential issues related to meaning and purpose. I am comfortable working with individuals from different socio-cultural identity groups.
In terms of couple and sex therapy, I work with couple partners to address a wide range of relationship issues. I support couple partners to improve their capacities for emotional, physical and sexual intimacy, repair ruptures to their bond in the aftermath of infidelities and betrayals, and manage conflicts over finances, parenting and extended family members (i.e., dealing with difficult in-laws). I also support couple partners to deal with challenging life circumstances in which one partner is afflicted with momentary or chronic physical or mental health issues, or terminal illness. I have published various articles, book chapters, presented papers and conducted workshops in the area of couple, relationship trauma and sex therapy. I am an original proponent of an integrated Emotionally Focused Therapy model of couple and sex therapy. I have also conducted research into the process of relationship repair in the aftermath of difficult relationship experiences, such as infidelity, and betrayals.
My psychotherapeutic approach involves integrating different therapeutic models to promote greater self-resilience, authenticity, wholeness and healthy interdependency in relationships. Humanistic and experiential models inform how I work with you to explore your inner experience of distress, including the emotional reactions, feelings and thoughts that are troubling you. Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories are employed as a frame to guide this exploration and to deepen our understanding of the impact of your earlier years on your present-day difficulties. Existential models inform my perspective on some of the inner struggles faced by all of us merely on the basis of our existence. Post-modernism also influences my clinical work in terms of my sensitivities to how social, cultural and historical contexts shape our subjective sense of reality, meaning-making and self expressions. Techniques from many different psychotherapy models are used to address your specific needs and concerns.
