Great to meet you!

As a psychotherapist, I am committed to helping you heal and grow through a compassionate, personalized approach. I focus on creating a safe space where we can explore your emotions, build resilience, and foster deep connections within yourself and with your partner in couples therapy. Let’s work together to help you live a more fulfilling and empowered life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational, grounded in creating a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore your inner world. I specialize in mind-body therapies as well as more cognitive and analytical ones (IFS, EMDR, SE, AEDP, Archetypal). By integrating these approaches, I help you uncover and work through deep-rooted patterns, fostering self-awareness, emotional healing, and lasting personal growth.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, greater emotional clarity, and practical tools to manage life’s challenges. My goal is to help you feel more connected to your inner strengths, better equipped to navigate difficulties, and empowered to create lasting change. Together, we’ll work on releasing old patterns, processing difficult emotions, and building resilience, so you can lead a more fulfilling and empowered life.
