One of the key principals of my approach to therapy is creating a safe space for self-exploration and self-discovery. I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself and address your concerns at your own pace.
Building a strong therapeutic alliance is essential to me. I strive to cultivate trust and openness in our relationship, aiming for you to perceive me as a warm therapist who respects your unique journey.
While my goal is to assist clients in improving their mental well-being and enhancing their quality of life, I believe in honesty regarding the limitations of therapy. I make no promises for a cure, I acknowledge the complexities of mental health and the diverse factors contributing to emotional distress. Instead, I emphasize self-awareness, support you in discovering your authentic, true self and building resilience.
Therapy with me is a collaborative journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. Together, we explore past experiences, identify behavioral patterns, and challenge limiting beliefs. This process allows clients to gain insight into their thoughts and emotions, fostering meaningful change and personal growth.
I bring a wide range of therapeutic approaches to our sessions. These include psychodynamic, DBT, ACT, CBT, IFS and Mentalization-based approaches tailored to meet your specific needs.
