My approach is person-centered and relational. This means that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to the work. I believe that meaningful change happens within a relationship where a person feels genuinely heard, emotionally understood, and respected at their own pace. Rather than focusing on quick solutions or symptom management alone, I am interested in understanding the underlying emotional processes and relational patterns that shape a person’s difficulties. In therapy, we explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, and learned ways of coping continue to influence the present. This exploration is always collaborative and guided by what feels relevant and tolerable for the client. Sessions are shaped by openness and curiosity. There is no expectation to have clear goals or well-formulated problems from the beginning. We work with what emerges in the moment: thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, silences, and uncertainties. I pay close attention to how clients experience themselves in relationship, including how they experience me and the therapeutic space. I often work with themes such as self-worth, boundaries, intimacy, loneliness, loss, and life transitions. The focus is not on fixing or correcting, but on understanding, integration, and developing a more compassionate and coherent relationship with oneself. Therapy, in my view, is a process of deepening awareness and expanding inner flexibility. Over time, this can open up new perspectives, choices, and ways of relating — not by force, but through understanding and emotional safety.
