I believe therapy to be an approach that heals the soul. I encourage a caring and accepting environment in which the therapist-client relationship is a key aspect of the healing process. My ideal client is one who wishes to grow and heal through the process of personal exploration, skill development and commitment to their healing journey.I have experience treating individuals with emotional challenges such as depression, anxiety, panic, and relational issues through the use of short-term CBT and (long-term) insight oriented therapy like Existential and Psychodynamic therapy.

Most of us do not escape life without some degree of suffering. Whatever the cause of our suffering, seeking help at a time we feel most vulnerable can be scary and uncomfortable. It takes courage to open oneself to feelings of vulnerability and fear in order to grow. I have immense respect for anyone who seeks professional help in the face of this discomfort. A state of curiosity and self-compassion about one's suffering can lead to increased self-awareness and receptivity to learning and growing through any challenge. A quest for a life worth living opens us to asking beautiful questions that turn challenges into opportunities

I believe all individuals are deserving of love, kindness, and joy. This often seems impossible when life presents challenges, loss, or disappointment. We cannot choose what happens around us, but we can choose our reactions to life’s circumstances. The meaning we make will direct our path. I am committed to helping you identify constructive options that support your long term goals. Together we can practice emotion regulation, distress tolerance and positive interpersonal skills. All of these will contribute to personal growth, improved relationships, a healthy sense of self, and a meaningful life.

As a therapist, my role is to support clients in achieving their goals by providing a safe and empathetic space for self-exploration and growth. Goal setting is a collaborative process, and I encourage clients to identify and articulate their objectives, whether they're related to mental health, relationships, or personal development. We work together to break down these goals into manageable, realistic steps. It's important to acknowledge that setbacks are a normal part of any journey. I help clients develop resilience and self-compassion, emphasizing that progress is not always linear.

In a world filled with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often forget that our relationships are the true currency of our existence. From the academic or school-related connections that shape our future to the professional bonds that define our careers, from the romantic entanglements that ignite our passions to the familial ties that anchor us - it's all about relationships. Yet, in the midst of our busy lives, we tend to neglect the very issues that influence our ability to foster and maintain healthy, meaningful connections.
