Therapy is a collaborative process that fosters greater well-being, self-understanding, and fulfilling relationships. I offer a mind-body approach, working with adults, teenagers, and children facing various psychological and emotional challenges. Healing occurs when the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—is engaged in the therapeutic process. I integrate verbal and non-verbal modalities. With adults, I use somatic psychology and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) to help clients develop self-awareness and ease. For children, I offer play therapy to create a safe space for emotional expression.
My approach combines Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Dance and Movement Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Somatic Psychology, AEDP, and Psychodynamic Therapy, providing a flexible pathway to healing.Informed by Humanistic-Existential and Buddhist philosophies, the process emphasizes self-compassion and the wisdom within each person.
I honor the unique experiences of my clients, creating a supportive space where growth and transformation unfold. If you're seeking well-being, joy, and meaning, therapy can provide a space for exploration and healing. Reach out to discuss how we might work together on your journey toward fulfillment.
