Do you often feel like you walk in the world carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, shame, or sadness? Do you find yourself constantly living in the past or the future, unable to stay in the present moment and take a break? Or when your brain seems to understand everything and has it “under control,” but your body tells a different story? We can’t stop pain from happening in life, but we can choose to face it together.
Having lived, studied, and worked abroad alone for the last decade, I understand the loneliness of facing everything by ourselves, as well as the courage that relationships and human connection can bring out in us. Even in the darkest moments, there is a birthplace to choose again: choose what to keep, what to let go, and what deserves seeking.
My therapy style is warm and light. I will never force you into a place you’re not ready for. I understand that finding the right therapist is never easy, so feel free to contact me and book a 20-minute free consultation before making any decision that feels right for you. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon!
