I would like to offer you my appreciation on how important the step you are giving right now is. Finding a psychotherapist can be daunting or disconcerting at first but the impulse that brought you here means you want things to be different, right? Maybe with less anxiety, less suffering or less loneliness. Maybe with more space to be who you are and experience more easiness to relate to others. Past traumas, being raised in non-attuned contexts and any form of oppression impose ruptures to the dialog between us and others and the internal parts of ourselves. These cracks generate conflicts, suffering, shame, and a self-alienation.

There are moments in life when everything feels overwhelming, when the mind is restless, the body tense, and emotions seem to take over. In those moments, asking for help is an act of great strength. Taking care of your emotional well-being is one of the most important investments you can make, for your health, your relationships, and your sense of purpose.
Each person carries a story, often filled with silent struggles, unprocessed emotions, or limiting beliefs formed long ago. My work is about helping you understand those inner patterns, calm your mind, reconnect with your strengths, and live with more clarity and fulfillment.

Life can be hard. Whether it is life transitions, stressors, illness, or any perceived limitation, we will all struggle, experience pain, sorrow, and discomfort. The question is, how do we support ourselves during difficult times? What type of relationship would we like to have with ourselves, others, and the world on the winding path of life? I believe psychotherapy connects us with our strengths, values, and compassion we need to live a more fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic life, despite obstacles we all encounter. It helps guide us toward approaching life with an open heart.
