“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" said Carl Jung. We are all born with unique gifts and potential. My believe is that, despite the trauma, loss and disappointments that you have suffered, you have the ability to heal and live a meaningful life. I love working with people that are committed to change and are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I consider it a privilege to be part of such a precious process and I offer my full commitment and genuine care to each client I work with. I help people to recover from substance abuse issues, trauma, depression, anxiety and life transitions.
I tailor my approach to each individual client, as I am sensitive to the complexity of human nature and the fact that each person comes with different needs and is at a different stage of life and self awareness. I have a relational approach and practice Schema Therapy, along with CBT, ACT , Mindfulness Based CBT and EMDR for the treatment of trauma and PTSD
I see therapy as a collaboration where I help clients to recover the parts of themselves that got lost, left behind or remained unexpressed due to trauma or adverse experiences. Therapy is about healing the psychological pain that prevents one from living a full life. The past cannot be changed, but it does not have to impact your present or future.
