  • ​“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" said Carl Jung. We are all born with unique gifts and potential.
  • My believe is that, despite the trauma, loss and disappointments that you have suffered, you have the ability to heal and live a meaningful life.
  • I love working with people that are committed to change and are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
  • I consider it a privilege to be part of such a precious process and I offer my full commitment and genuine care to each client I work with.
  • I help people to recover from substance abuse issues, trauma, depression, anxiety and life transitions.
  • I tailor my approach to each individual client, as I am sensitive to the complexity of human nature and the fact that each person comes with different needs and is at a different stage of life and self awareness.
  • I have a relational approach and practice Schema Therapy, along with CBT, ACT and Mindfulness Based CBT.
  • I see therapy as a collaboration where I help clients to recover the parts of themselves that got lost, left behind or remained unexpressed due to trauma or adverse experiences.
  • Therapy is about healing the psychological pain that prevents one from living a full life.
  • The past cannot be changed, but it does not have to impact your present or future.
