I see therapy as a process of discovery where, together, we come to understand and address the issues you struggle with. As I gradually get to know you I will listen for patterns and gaps in your story, which are usually meaningful. In this confidential process I will be a committed and supportive ally to you, someone who listens carefully and considers the things you are facing in their context, including the larger family and cultural background. My approach is informed by a psychoanalytic perspective and my style is empathic but also real. The clients I see usually struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or relationships.
I am a European with a previous career in fashion that led me to live in different countries. I also studied acting and writing, and have had exposure to the art world. These experiences have given me an appreciation and understanding of what shapes people's lives that cannot be taught in universities. I deeply appreciate human complexity and individuality.
Due to my previous professional experiences I enjoy working with people from creative professions and those with an international background. I have also worked in hospital settings and a sexuality clinic, as well as college counseling centers. I am currently an advanced candidate at NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
