Approach
My approach to psychotherapy is characterized by a combination of different therapeutic techniques, including positive therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and schema therapy. With a focus on providing online therapy, I have the opportunity to work with clients from various nationalities and cultural backgrounds, offering a diverse and inclusive therapeutic space.
One of the core aspects of my approach is my commitment to an individualized therapeutic experience. I firmly believe that each client's journey is unique, and I tailor my interventions and strategies to address their specific needs, strengths, and goals. By building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, empathy, and collaboration, I create a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, allowing for deep self-reflection, insight, and positive change.
I specialize in working with mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression, as well as personality disorders, particularly borderline personality disorder. In our sessions with my clients we address a range of topics that are crucial to them well-being, including loneliness and anger management. I also often work with a lot of people leaving abroad, and this is one of mine areas of specialization.
If you are ready to take the next step towards your well-being, I invite you to schedule an appointment with me. If you're unsure or have any questions, please feel free to reach out, and we can have a conversation to determine if my approach can be helpful to you.
