Approach

Treatment Approaches
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
Systemic approachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.

I am trained in mindfulness self compassion, and I counsel difficulties in the areas of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and other areas in the context of individual psychotherapy. I believe that a healthy, stable and strong relationship in a family is essential for the process of regeneration and transformation of each individual.I wish to contribute to the emotional well-being of each individual element and the whole family, so that they can experience strong meaningful and resilient connections.

For me, therapy is a space to breathe, feel, and rediscover yourself. A place where all parts of you are welcome (even the ones you might see as difficult) and where you can feel more grounded, clearer, and less alone.
