Whether you're navigating conflict, communication difficulties, loss, changes in identity, or the lasting impact of past experiences, therapy can help you gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and build stronger connection
Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. You may be struggling in your relationship, preparing for marriage, healing from a painful experience, or navigating a major life transition that has left you feeling uncertain or overwhelmed. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying the weight of stress, trauma, or difficult relationship patterns on their own. Together, we'll create a supportive space to better understand what's happening, strengthen your relationships, and help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and resilience.

I believe that psychotherapy in essence is a collaborative process that aims to increase psychological well-being and reduce emotional pain, loneliness and languishing which are ever present in today's world. At the heart of this process, is the positive healing relationship that develops between an individual, a couple or a family, and the therapist. I offer clients a non-judgemental, empathic and queer affirmative space where they learn to identify and tolerate their emotions, articulate appropriately their needs to significant people in their life and work on breaking away from toxic negative cycles.

What if your struggles are not something to fix, but invitations to deeper self-understanding and authenticity? My approach focuses on uncovering what your emotions and experiences may be revealing about you. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, and inner dynamics shaping your life - often outside of conscious awareness. Therapy becomes a process of self-discovery and growth: an inward journey toward a more connected relationship with yourself, others, and the greater whole.

You might be considering therapy because:
• Your emotions feel intense or overwhelming, or you find yourself shutting down to get through the day.
• You feel stuck in patterns of thinking, reacting, or relating that you can see aren’t working, but you’re not sure how to change them.
• You are having repeated conflict or disconnection in your relationships, or you struggle to set and maintain boundaries.
• You’re functioning on the surface, but something feels off, and you want life and relationships to feel more like they fit you.
If some of this resonates, we may be a good fit.

Many are navigating anxiety, relational challenges, questions of identity and self-worth, grief, or life transitions.
I draw on narrative and existential approaches to explore how meaning shapes identity, relationships, and direction. Together, we rework personal narratives toward greater authenticity and alignment. I also integrate body-based techniques to support grounding, emotional regulation, and a more embodied way of navigating difficult emotions.

Therapy can help people better understand themselves and find greater meaning in their lives. People enter therapy for a wide range of reasons, often involving difficulty solving a problem in their lives on their own. Some people, for example, are having difficulty in a romantic relationship and wonder how to improve the relationship, or end it. Other people experience conflict or anxiety in a wide range of interpersonal relationships and enter therapy as a means of improving their communication skills and the quality of their relationships. I help people in both monogamous and polyamorous relationships.
