Great to meet you!

My work is dedicated to improve the lives of my clients and help them on the road to self-awareness and self-acceptance by resolving their personal problems and decreasing their suffering, thus they have a better chance of having a more enjoyable, healthier, happier and productive life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in a therapeutic approach that has to be tailored to people’s needs, life challenges and circumstances. I do not believe in a cookie cutter therapy, instead I believe in having a patient centered therapeutic approach grounded in acceptance and support. My style is eclectic and integrative, including the best of: cognitive, developmental, solution focused, systemic and psycho dynamic therapies.
