About me
As a psychologist and neuroscientist (PhD), my lifelong work integrates core insights into how trauma, alongside practices for emotional growth and self-development, impact the functioning of our brain and body. My therapeutic approach is built upon evidence-based research, interdisciplinary advances, a blend of top-down and bottom-up psychological methods, and many years of personal self-work.
My therapeutic approach integrates diverse methods designed to help individuals transform suffering into personal potential. I am passionate about empowering clients to navigate their challenges and unlock their strengths in a supportive environment.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Somatic ExperiencingRecommended for those who want to use the mind-body connection to address the effects of trauma and restore natural regulation of the nervous system.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
My approach integrates botton-up and top-down methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Experiencing®, and Neuroaffective Relational Moldel (NARM, in training). Together, these methods gently and constructively guide individuals through blocked emotions, limiting beliefs, negative patterns, and unresolved trauma. This journey fosters integration and self-awareness, allowing healing to unfold gradually, enabling clients to move beyond past wounds and connect with their true potential.
