I specialize in trauma, integrating EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to support healing at both the nervous system and emotional levels.
We get a sense of ourselves in the context of our relationships in childhood, and as we find our way in life, we can get trapped in dysfunctional patterns. The aim is to find a compassionate inner connection that would free us from these patterns in therapy. Openness and commitment are important qualities in making the most out of it. The process will get challenging from time to time, as life does as well. The important thing here is to build a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship that would enable us to work through these challenges in a relational way as we transform ourselves and our lives based on our desires.

Everyone carries a unique history, and no two experiences of struggle are exactly alike. You may be facing a specific life transition, feeling overwhelmed by a sense of unease, or simply sensing that you are not living as fully as you could be. Whether your challenges feel clear or are still difficult to define, you deserve a space where you are heard without judgment. You are looking for more than just a listener; you want a partner to help you navigate your internal world. Your goal is to move toward a life that feels more authentic, resilient, and balanced, guided by your own pace and needs.
