Working with adults of all generations, my aim is to connect with the reality of emotional pain and suffering that often accompanies our journey towards consciousness. I belief that one of the most important keys to a successful outcome of the therapeutic process is the compatibility between the two people involved, especially since the depths of psychological work can be painful, and a positive experience is very much dependent on the dynamic of this highly personal exchange. I am able to use various therapeutic modalities, with the added specialties of dream analysis and art therapy.

You appear high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, relationship patterns, trauma, or high-functioning anxiety. You may already be deeply self-aware and insightful — yet still feel stuck repeating the same emotional cycles.
I help adults move beyond survival mode by addressing the deeper patterns, attachment wounds, and nervous system dysregulation underneath their distress.
