I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 25 years. For my clients, it means I have an in-depth understanding in how to support people to make internal changes, and also how to support them to ensure they live these changes in their everyday lives. For example, in relationship counselling understandings from the therapy room need to be experienced as changes in their everyday relationships. Or if you are anxious and tend to avoid certain aspects of life, you need your new understandings making positive changes in your everyday life.
I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy that combines powerful, evidence-based methods to target not just the symptoms, but the root causes of your struggles, to help you heal, grow, and reconnect with your truest self.
I believe in your potential for healing and growth. Whether you are facing unresolved trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I am here to help you rediscover a sense of peace and purpose.

What to Expect in Therapy
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, trauma, relationship issues, etc. In therapy, you can expect a safe, supportive space to explore your inner world, customized treatment plans based on your unique needs, collaborative and compassionate therapy that respects your pace and healing process, and practical tools and strategies to manage stress, emotions, and life's challenges.
My Approach
My approach blends various evidence-based therapies. I integrate Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Therapy (ISTDP), Mindfulness Practices, and trauma-informed work inspired by the teachings of Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk. Support you in uncovering your deepest struggles, transforming negative patterns, and embracing a more balanced, authentic life.
