I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression. I am trained in the use of effective treatments, which are based on sound research. Social anxiety, panic attacks, worry, obsessive-compulsive disorder, coping with health problems or excessive health concerns, understanding emotions are all treated in an atmosphere of careful collaboration and empathy. I rely on a patient-centered approach that takes into account clients' lifestyles to set attainable goals.

The experience of suffering is unique for each individual and deserves respect and attention. I work to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can speak openly and be heard. Using language as our medium, I listen closely and with curiosity to hear your questions, fears, and desires. I wonder with you in a collaborative process about how your narratives have been formed and intervene to support revisions, bringing you into greater alignment with your personal truths. Putting words to experience lays the groundwork for greater mental freedom and lasting change to take place.

With an outside the box approach, our therapists use creative means to bring healing, growth, and change in addition to traditional talk therapy.

As a therapist, I love to help people get unstuck. With non judgmental listening, training in a variety of therapies and a genuine passion of helping others, I can support you or your child to make the changes necessary to live your/their best life.

My service – Jungian analysis – covers your concerns about mood, relationships, sex and sexuality, creativity issues, compulsions, coping with change or loss, lack of passion, disorganization, or effects of neglect, abuse or trauma. Whereas counseling covers such concerns by aiming at rehabilitation, improved coping or solving problems in functioning, my service goes deeper, aiming at self-acceptance, clarity, balance and authenticity. We would boldly explore dreams, fantasies or whatever else your soul expresses, sensitive to cruel injustice within society, your work setting, your relationships and especially within your psyche.

Do you feel discouraged with daily difficulties? Having trouble navigating what others believe "should be easy?" I believe through a Positive approach, we can uncover some previously unexplored options. I work to match the counseling approach to the individual’s needs, strengths, and styles to address identified therapeutic focus. By tackling faulty thinking, undesirable feelings, and outgrown coping mechanisms you’re able to effectively address the Here and Now.

Mental health symptoms can exert a painfully strong hold on our lives and take an exhaustive toll. Symptoms can range from anxiety or depression, to a sense of being stuck, to reactions stemming from current circumstances or one’s life history. My practice is guided by the principal that you and I working collaboratively, engaged in a project of speaking and listening—being curious about one’s inner world—can have a significant impact on one’s symptoms. While this practice focuses on reducing suffering it also seeks to produce change.

Therapy is a powerful tool that can bring about positive change and growth in your life and relationships. I offer a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and work towards finding solutions and healing. I offer a non-judgmental and confidential space where we can explore your concerns and work towards your self-identified goals. If you're ready to take steps forward and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing I can support, you through that process.

Join me in a safe, supportive space where you can be guided to a place of understanding and growth. Let's work together to navigate your life-challenges and find a solution that works for you.
