My approach to therapy

My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment which allows you to understand and transform the challenges in your life.

In psychotherapy, there is no one size fits all for us as humans. Because life's challenges are rarely simple I use a collective integrative approach using tools from a biopsychosocialspiritual perspective. I prefer multiplicity which generally means drawing from a variety of resources.

What you can expect from me

I believe that our own resources lay hidden like a treasure inside of us but are not always within reach My job is to provide you with tools to try on and adapt to your life; tools can be sampled, taken for a spin and returned/adjusted/adapted until they work for your toolbox.

Together we create and find solutions to help you to develop the skills set and coping methods needed to heal and improve your quality of life and to create lasting change in your relationships with yourself and others.
