Everyone faces difficulties, which can range from traumatic losses to everyday stressors. My aim is to provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can cultivate self-awareness, experience personal growth and healthy psychological development to ultimately achieve a healthier and more balanced emotional and behavioral response to life stressors. I use a client-centered, empathetic, non-judgmental approach to treat emotional difficulties and interpersonal issues. My approach is grounded in my eclectic training with a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and family therapy.
