Congratulations on taking this first step towards your own healing. People start therapy for many reasons. Maybe your inner voice wonders whether you’re good enough. Maybe you’re in a relationship and having a hard time communicating what is happening for you. Maybe you’re finding it hard to cope with life’s challenges, or are undergoing a big change, and are feeling worry and anxiety. Maybe you’d like to explore an earlier trauma, and you’re looking for someone compassionate and open-minded, who can help bring a new level of insight to your past and together make meaning.

Often, these feelings are carried quietly while managing work, family, and daily responsibilities, alongside the challenge of balancing these demands with a desire for peace and fulfillment.

The guidelines that define my psychotherapy work are firstly to establish a therapeutic relationship that could allow the client to feel safe and understood. Secondly, I facilitate reflection and discovery of new meanings on those significant issues in the client’s present life. Those issues could be specific, such as feeling concerned about relationships, self-esteem, stress, work, or they could be unspecific, such as feeling emotional, irritable, distressed, or unfulfilled. Lastly, my approach is tailored by the client’s needs and can encompass diverse strategies and techniques.
