My website
I am an emotion-based therapist, passionate in helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life's challenges. I bring over a decade of experience working with a diverse range of clients across various ages and backgrounds. I am trained and skilled in integrating various evidence-based approaches, including Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), to tailor treatment to your unique needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating existential concerns, I can walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach is primarily psychodynamic, informed by the understanding that our early experiences shape how we understand ourselves and connect with others. Through a collaborative and supportive environment, together we can explore these underlying patterns, develop a deeper sense of self-awareness, and help you develop long-lasting change.
Finding the right therapist for you isn't always easy. If you're looking for a therapist who is dedicated to understanding your unique story and working collaboratively towards your goals, I encourage you to reach out for a consultation.

While my background included Psychoanalytic, Existential, and CBT therapies, I mostly use Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). ISTDP is an evidence-based approach that focuses on helping clients explore and resolve underlying emotional conflicts. This process empowers them to recognize and manage emotions more effectively, leading to lasting improvements in their mental well-being.
