Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about finding balance—between accepting what’s out of our control and taking meaningful steps toward the life you want. Together, we’ll create a safe, judgment-free space where you can reconnect with yourself, process emotions, and move forward with confidence.

Life transitions—whether it’s moving to a new country, starting a different job, becoming a parent, ending a relationship or navigating big changes—can bring deep questions. These moments often push us to rewrite our own stories, to redefine who we are, and to embark on a journey of becoming our true selves.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, helping you reconnect with yourself and what truly matters. If this resonates with you, I’d love to support you on this journey.
