Like the ancient art of Kintsugi, I believe that healing is not about erasing cracks but embracing them - filling the broken pieces with resilience, self-compassion and strength. Life's challenges can leave us feeling shattered, but with the self-reflection, self-awareness and the right support, those fractures can become part of a more beautiful, empowered version of ourselves.

A typical treatment plan may include techniques like DBT, CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused therapies, tailored to your needs.
My ideal client is someone who feels lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain—whether from trauma, ongoing anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a sense of disconnection from their true self's. They may struggle with self-doubt or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.

They want a life that feels more authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with their core values.
