Hiring a Consaltant
“Remember: we’re not troubled by events themselves, but by the stories we tell ourselves about them.”
Overview
When everything feels overwhelming, it’s often not the situation that knocks us off balance but the way we perceive it. In our work together, you’ll discover how to step back from the automatic loop of worry and reinterpret events with greater calm and clarity.
You might come to me for any of these challenges—feeling adrift in your career, struggling with burnout, wrestling with loss or grief, doubting your sense of self, or navigating difficult life transitions. Maybe you’re stuck in a cycle of “I’m not good enough,” “What if I fail?” or “Why can’t I control everything?” Such thoughts steal your energy and leave you exhausted.
As your consultant, I’ll help you unearth the negative beliefs and cognitive distortions that keep you stuck and teach you practical ways to transform them. We’ll move beyond quick fixes into long-term change: cultivating self-compassion, building emotional resilience, and opening new perspectives for personal and professional fulfillment.
Why undertake psychodynamic consultation with me?
Choosing psychodynamic consultation with me means embarking on a journey beneath the surface of everyday concerns to the deeper forces that shape your life. Together, we’ll create a trusting, confidential space where your unique history and inner world become the canvas for exploration. By illuminating unconscious patterns—whether they influence your career decisions, personal relationships, or emotional well-being—you’ll gain clarity on what’s been holding you back and discover new pathways forward. This depth-oriented approach not only addresses symptoms but transforms underlying dynamics, equipping you with lasting insight, resilience, and authentic self-direction.
What You Can Bring to Our Sessions

- Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or excessive self-criticism
- Chronic stress, overwhelm, or professional burnout
- Grief, loss, or difficulty adapting to major life changes
- Relationship conflicts—whether with partners, family, or colleagues
- Unclear boundaries or struggles with asserting yourself
- Persistent anxiety or decision-making paralysis
- Questions about your self-worth or sense of purpose

What We’ll Do Together
Our work will be grounded in core psychodynamic principles: we’ll attend to the themes that emerge between us—your feelings toward me and mine toward you—as a window into longstanding relational patterns. You’ll be invited to share thoughts, images, and memories freely, allowing unconscious material to surface. We’ll track recurring dreams and fantasies to uncover internal conflicts, and gently examine defense mechanisms that protect yet constrain you.
By reflecting on how early attachments inform today’s choices, we’ll identify the scripts you’ve inherited and begin to rewrite them. This dialogical, insight-focused journey dissolves blind spots, fosters emotional integration, and opens new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others.
By “cleaning the fogged-up glass” of your inner world, you’ll begin to see the patterns and possibilities you once missed. You’ll learn to choose your responses instead of reacting, to reframe problems as opportunities for growth, and to take responsibility for the life you’re building.
Gradually, you’ll become your own therapist—equipped with self-help strategies to manage stress, overcome perfectionism, and nurture authentic relationships.
In turbulent times, this integrative approach grounds you in self-trust and ignites the creative energy that carries you forward.
Whether you need a steady hand through a crisis or a guide for deeper self-discovery, I invite you to take the first step toward a more balanced, empowered, and meaningful life.
