Hello lovely people, life is short and how can we live the best of it? How can you manage work stress and social anxiety? Do you often doubt yourself, feel lonely or sad, and can't find purpose in life? I believe psychotherapy is not only about curing or resolving pain, but also increasing awareness and understanding and accepting the full range of human emotion. It’s important to feel our different emotions and learn how to express ourselves fully. The beauty of our work together is finding your strengths and having an "aha moment" during our therapeutic process.

Feeling alone, confused or overwhelmed? Struggling with an unhealthy relationship or having trouble establishing a fulfilling, intimate one? Feeling stuck, unmotivated, procrastinating, yet realizing that you’re not reaching your personal or professional potentials?
