Great to meet you!

Working with diverse populations and addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma requires a unique set of skills and empathy. My background in social work and counseling provides me with a solid framework to understand and help individuals navigate through their challenges.

Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic techniques is crucial in providing effective support and fostering meaningful progress in clients' lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The therapeutic relationship in psychoanalytic therapy is pivotal. It's characterized by a close partnership between the therapist and the patient, where trust and openness are cultivated. Through this relationship, patients have the opportunity to explore their experiences, thoughts, and emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

What you can expect from our first session

I will provide supportive guide rather than an authority figure. I will encourage clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences, helping them to gain insight into themselves and their challenges. as your therapist I will assist clients in developing healthier perspectives by reflecting back their experiences, offering empathetic understanding, and gently challenging unhelpful patterns of thinking or behaviors.
