Special interests

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for therapy that goes beyond treatment of the symptom, to work more deeply with your conscious and unconscious conflicts and motivations that keep us stuck or trapped in situations, relationships, habits etc that keep hurting you and those around you.
