My approach

I implement a wide range of scientifically proven therapeutic methods to encourage self-awareness among clients and help them adopt healthier patterns of thinking, improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies that bring a positive impact on feelings and behavior towards different life situations. My therapeutic style is eclectic, utilizing various theoretical approaches such as psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy, depending on the presenting problem and what works best for the client. A key component to my practice is in developing a compassionate, authentic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients. Therapy is a safe and private place in which I will assist you in exploring the past, creating peace and meaning in the present, and hope for the future. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix. Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from both the client and therapist. But in the end, small changes add up to powerful results. Areas of interest include anxiety, depression, life transitions and adjustments, cross-cultural issues, somatic disorders, obsessive-compulsive behavior, trauma, addiction, anger management, burnout, personality disorders, relationship challenges, family issues, and parenting.
