Great to meet you!

As an international psychotherapist I have lived in and traveled to different parts of the world, including Asia, Europe, and the Americas and I have worked with a culturally diverse caseload throughout my career. I have experience working with artists and entrepenuaers of different types. In the course of my professional career, I have completed differential diagnosis, conducted psychological assessments, and designed and implemented individualized treatment plans.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including insight oriented, psychodynamic and experiential therapies, and evidence-based treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Please know that one of the strengths of my work entails sorting through life events, including child history and relationships, and helping you to reframe and restructure them into healthier perceptions and positive internalized realities as well as developing a new set of skills that promote growth.

What you can expect from me

As my client you will have the opportunity to take care of your emotional experience in a contained, safe and none-judgmental environment. You are not going to be alone in this process; I will be by your side in this inner journey. You will have an empathetic listener, customized exploration, thoughtful observations, and knowledgeable and collaborative analysis to gain insight about the most intimate parts of yourself, engage in an active process of change and develop wellness.
