About me

I am a Psychotherapist and have worked for the past 4 years in the field of mental health, well-being and life-coaching through my private practice. My primary focus is to provide a safe and effective therapy in an environment based on respect and a commitment to your well-being.

I provide individual therapy for adolescents, adults and couples with issues ranging from depression and anxiety disorders to stress and relationship management. I also specialize in working with Trauma, PTSD, Migration, Refugees, Peace Psychology, Conflict Resolution, Mindfulness & Spiritually oriented Psychotherapy.

Approach

My approach to therapy is experiential, client-centred, goal-directed, and strengths-based which means your counselling sessions will be custom-designed to help you overcome your current challenges and reach your goals through talk-therapy and homework tasks. I may use many different methods to treat the problems that you hope to address, including cognitive-behavioural strategies, existential psychotherapeutic approaches, psychodynamics and mindfulness training. However, psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. It calls for a very active effort on your part. In order for therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home.
