I believe you possess an inherent ability to discover creative solutions to life's challenges. However, certain life circumstances, whether from childhood or later experiences, can disrupt this ability, leaving you feeling 'stuck.' You are the expert of your life and know better than me what to do, for example, with your spouse or job. I specialize only in helping you better understand yourself in situations where it is impossible to do it alone because the answer belongs to the realm of the unconscious. The therapy will provide an opportunity for honest and deep dialogue addressing challenging topics without avoidance.
I have the proficiency to ask precise questions and employ specialized techniques, allowing the answers to life's challenges to emerge. When you have a fuller understanding of yourself, you begin to make correct decisions that bring a sense of joy. I don't give advice, but help you to know yourself better and become attentive to yourself and others.
With whatever issue you need support, you will find a secure, authentic and supportive relationship where your voice is fully heard. We'll explore your needs and desires by attentively tuning into your sensations, feelings and thoughts. Through the expression of unspoken aspects, we will together seek and you will discover creative ways to adapt and grow.
