When life brings uncomfortable feelings, it may be time to seek support. These emotions are common and can affect our ability to function and find joy in daily life, but you don’t have to face them alone. I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, gain understanding, and learn effective tools to enhance your well-being.
With more than 20 years of experience in California and France, I strive to create a compassionate and empowering space for each individual. I am dedicated to building a trusting therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard, accepted, and empowered.
My approach emphasizes open dialogue and genuine connection as we navigate life’s challenges. I integrate psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques, tailoring each session to meet you where you are to address your unique needs.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will develop a treatment plan that supports your goals.
Taking this first step reflects your strength and commitment to change. I look forward to walking alongside you as you work toward a happier, healthier, and more fulfilled version of yourself.
