About me

As a psychologist, I bring a wealth of experience in Clinical, Social, and Hospital Psychology, specializing in issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflicts, relationship challenges, personality and mood disorders, and self-destructive behaviors. I understand that life's difficulties can feel overwhelming at times, and I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore these feelings.

If you're someone who has moved away from your home country and is navigating the unique challenges that come with that transition, know that you are not alone. Together, we can work towards finding new meanings in life and developing strategies to cope with the hurdles you face. My goal is to empower you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Existential analysisRecommended for those who are searching for deeper meaning in life or are struggling with big questions about existence, freedom, and purpose.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

I work within the Existential Phenomenological Humanist framework, which emphasizes self-awareness and the quest for meaning in life. I truly believe that the psychotherapeutic process is a transformative journey that can help you gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, navigate life's challenges, enhance your relationships, and cultivate healthier coping skills.

Imagine having the opportunity to truly know yourself and grow into your best version. This process is not just about addressing difficulties; it's about discovering your strengths, aspirations, and potential. Together, we can create a supportive environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. I’m here to walk alongside you as you embark on this meaningful journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Let’s take this step together!
