Pain in this life is not avoidable, but the pain we create avoiding pain is avoidable.

My Therapeutic Approach
My therapy style is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and connection. I believe in creating a space where you can express yourself freely—where all of your thoughts and emotions are welcome, without fear of judgment. Each session is an opportunity for you to be fully seen and heard in a warm and accepting environment.
The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of our work. Finding the right therapist is essential, and I see our collaboration as a partnership—one where you bring your lived experience, and I offer guidance, insight, and gentle challenges along the way.
Therapy is a deeply personal journey, one that fosters self-awareness, strengthens your instincts, and nurtures emotional growth. Because each person is unique, I tailor my approach to your specific needs.
My clinical foundation is in psychodynamic, existential, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which means we will explore how your past experiences shape your present, helping you move from unconscious reactions to conscious choices. Above all, my goal is to support you in achieving your therapy goals in a way that feels meaningful and right to you.
Supporting you in navigating life with more clarity, intention, and ease.

Reflection & Understanding:
Instead of seeking quick fixes, explore the deeper layers of your experiences and emotions. Uncover the patterns that influence your choices, helping you make conscious decisions that lead to lasting change.
Develop Self-Awareness:
Build insight into your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Stay curious about yourself and the world around you, and connect more deeply with your true desires and needs.
Embrace Self-Growth
Accept all parts of yourself, even the ones you may find challenging. Increase your self-awareness with compassion, allowing you to grow and make lasting changes in a way that feels right for you.
