People frequently face challenges in managing stress, which can result in feelings of depression, anxiety, unhealthy behaviors, and conflicts. It is common to repeatedly react in similar ways, experiencing the same distressing emotions and difficult situations. The objective is to comprehend the reasons behind your actions in order to modify the behaviors that no longer serve you or your partner.

I have experience in working with complex trauma, life transitions, and couples therapy. My aim is to assist you in gaining a better understanding of your issues and to foster resilience in dealing with future challenges. I focus on relational work and recognize that every individual and couple requires a tailored approach based on their specific goals.

The well-being of individuals and couples is often shaped by their relationships with others and their self-care practices. Recognizing past traumas and their effects on present decisions can offer relief. Therapy can help promote personal and relational growth, resulting in a better quality of life.
