About me

I'm a bilingual Clinical Psychologist with a foundation in psychodynamic and experiential approaches. I work relationally—supporting clients not just in understanding themselves, but also in staying with what they feel. In sessions, I value emotional attunement, clear boundaries, and a pace that respects your rhythm.

Beyond individual work, I’ve led psychoeducational groups and trainings across NGOs, corporate settings, and international networks. My background in experiential learning taught me the importance of presence, creativity, and adaptability—all of which I carry into my therapeutic work.

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I believe therapy doesn't start with a technique—it starts with a real connection. That’s why I care deeply about first impressions, matching well, and showing up fully from the beginning.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
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 relationally and process-oriented, with a focus on how past and present experiences shape the way we relate—to ourselves, to others, and to the world. My approach draws from psychodynamic thinking and experiential methods, often paying attention to emotional patterns, needs for connection, and the parts of the self that remain unheard. In our work, I aim to create a space where complexity is welcomed, and where self-understanding can unfold at your own pace—sometimes through words, sometimes through silence, sometimes through the gentle discomfort of growth.
