“Through psychotherapy one becomes able to unfold one's potential and be one's authentic self. I help clients in engaging in healthier ways of coping with life stressors and improving the quality of their lives. I am currently doing my training in EMDR.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space where you can explore life's challenges and discover new ways to respond. Many find it empowering to unfold their true potential and embrace their authentic self. We'll work together to identify healthier coping strategies, improving your overall well-being. This approach helps you gain clarity and build resilience, leading to a more fulfilling life. My aim is to help you feel more equipped to navigate daily stressors.

Approach

I maintain a calm pace and offer practical reflections you can try between sessions. We pay attention to urges, grief, shame, and stress, holding difficult feelings while building simple strategies to reduce overwhelm and addictive cycles.
