I'm a Clinical Psychologist with, Master’s degree in Psychology and specialized training in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. I provide environment where healing and transformation become possible
I’m a Clinical and Health Psychologist specializing in depth-oriented psychotherapy. I work with people struggling with anxiety, shame, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and persistent inner patterns that do not shift through insight or willpower alone. Many of my clients are successful, highly capable, and outwardly functional, yet internally feel stuck, divided, or burdened by reactions they do not fully understand or feel able to change.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and supported by extensive training in experiential, body-oriented, trauma-focused, and psychodynamic therapy. I have completed a four-year training in Psychoorganic Analysis, a modality with strong psychodynamic roots that integrates mind, emotion, and body. In recent years, my focus has increasingly moved toward newer experiential and accelerated psychodynamic approaches that aim to transform emotional patterns at their roots, not only help people manage them more effectively. Alongside my one-to-one clinical work, I bring many years of experience facilitating groups and retreats, which has strengthened my capacity to work with vulnerability, emotional defenses, and the relational patterns that shape how people protect themselves and connect with others.
In therapy, I aim for more than symptom relief or better coping. I help clients understand what keeps them stuck, work through the patterns that repeat, and create deeper, lasting change. My style is grounded, thoughtful, and direct. The aim is a stronger sense of self, less inner conflict, and more freedom, clarity, and connection in life and relationships.
My approach is experiential, trauma-informed, and deeply respectful. I don’t see symptoms as defects. I see them as intelligent adaptations that once helped you survive, protect yourself, or stay connected.
My primary therapeutic lens is Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps people understand and transform the different inner parts that drive anxiety, shame, self-criticism, avoidance, or emotional overwhelm. I also integrate polyvagal nervous system awareness, and experiential methods influenced by psychodynamic therapy, coherence therapy work, and somatic psychotherapy.
In practice, this means we do more than just talk about problems. We slow things down, track what happens inside you, and work directly with the emotional and bodily patterns that keep repeating. The goal is not just insight or better coping, but real change: less inner conflict, more clarity, more emotional freedom, and a stronger sense of self.
I tend to work well with clients who want depth, honesty, and meaningful transformation rather than coping.
