I am a certified psychotherapist with 15 years of experience working with trauma, any mental health struggles and addictions. I believe that humans are more resilient than they think and that it is important to stop suffering as we are here to thrive not to survive. If you have been encouraged to go to therapy and work on your issues, I will be encouraging you to go and live your life. It takes courage to live. Life is therapeutic. Meaningful life consists of all the emotions, and in my practice we find ways to work through them so they are no longer the barriers for you living your life to the fullest.
I utilized an eclectic approach with the focus in EMDR, Narrative therapy, Existential therapy and Logotherapy. Through a multiple perspective on your story, we can choose the one that will make sense and help you find an inspiration to move forward no matter which difficulties you’ve had to face. EMDR does magic and transforms negative beliefs.
We live in a complex world that puts a lot of pressure on our shoulders and it’s close to impossible to live a well-balanced life. In fact, I don’t believe in balance or happiness, but I do believe in meaningful life. Meaningful life consists of all the emotions, and I help not to be afraid of them. Reach out and let's explore your experiences together.
