Great to meet you!

Would you want to know yourself better? Would you like to stop saying and doing things that annoy others but seem to slip under your radar? My training consisted in psychoanalytic-psychodynamic method, extensive personal psychoanalysis and therapeutic practice with adults and children. I'm a parent, a practicing artist with Master's degree in painting, and am an immigrant. My varied background enabled me to understand and empower people of different lifestyles and cultures. I hope us working together will give you better self-knowledge and compassion to better navigate your relationships and life choices.

My approach to therapy

I will work as your companion and guide on the essential journey that takes place within yourself. Understanding the patterns you developed and how they made sense in the past, what they enabled you to accomplish, but now interfere in finding your happiness. Together we can work to change what is not working, nurture what is beneficial and find ways to move forward.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we get to know each other. You let me know who you are and where you need to go. I will try to give you better understanding of what the process is. We slowly ease into a comfortable confidence. As the work continues the therapeutic relationship becomes a safe and thriving ground in which your new understanding, feelings, and attitudes can grow.
