As a psychotherapist, I view the therapeutic journey as a path that leads you back to yourself—a journey home. A place where you feel safe, seen, and understood. My goal is to create that space for you within our sessions, where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. I believe that true healing occurs in an environment of acceptance and understanding. I am committed to creating a non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and honestly about what you're going through. I create a space to explore your inner world at your own pace, with no pressure or expectations—only care and respect.
My approach to therapy is grounded in Integrative and Transactional Analysis (TA), a framework that helps us understand and change the patterns of behavior, communication, and thought that keep us stuck. It is a developmental approach that helps understand how past experiences influence our present lives, whilst also incorporating other approaches.
I am faith inclusive and can work in faith based way for those needed. Working with me, you will gain insights into your internal dialogues and relational dynamics, also learning to approach yourself with kindness and empathy, allowing for deeper healing and growth. If you’re ready to begin your journey home, I’m here to facilitate it.
