Connection. It’s what we are all looking for. Connection with ourselves. Connection with others. But how do we achieve that in a world that constantly forces us to disconnect in order to survive? To numb out, to run from conflict, to judge, to avoid our vulnerability. Our vulnerability is what makes us beautiful. Let’s get back to that beauty. Whether you’re struggling with romantic relationships, work and family stress, or trying to cope with the multiple crises happening around the world, I’m here to support you. I’ve been a therapist for more than a decade and have helped hundreds of people just like you.

As a therapist, I aim for my clients to feel understood, seen and accepted. However you identify, I want to guide you towards unveiling your uniqueness - your values, beliefs, and perspectives on life. It is rewarding to see personal growth as clients begin to actualize the quality of life they’ve hoped for. My passion is helping my clients become successful individuals as they develop the necessary skills on their journey towards healing and self-exploration. I provide opportunities for my clients to work through pressing issues by engaging in motivational sessions that empower clients to achieve their personal goals.

The fundamental core of my practice is the belief that each individual has the capacity for wisdom, growth and change with respect to his/her own life. I trust that the potential that is necessary for change is within each person, but this capacity may not always be evident or accessible. As a clinician, I believe that one of the most important components of psychotherapy is having an atmosphere which is supportive, patient, validating and compassionate. I approach my patients with integrity and a commitment to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your true self.

I am confident that my clients can discover their own solutions to the conflicts and anxieties that bring them to therapy. I believe that people want to be heard by a professional who will help them develop new perspectives on themselves and their relationships, and who will assist them in finding creative ways to handle the anguish that daily living involves. I am exploratory and active and make interventions within the context of each person's historical narrative. I provide interventions and referrals when necessary. I view myself in constant transformation where learning takes place in a parallel project along with my clients.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf" is a Jon Kabat-Zinn quote relevant to these challenging times.

Our sessions will focus on you becoming restored and replenished with more energy for the things you value.

I have over 25 years of postgraduate experience and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation.

People I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. They also feel that I like and enjoy them.
