With both my professional expertise and personal experiences of resilience, I am here to support your journey toward psychological richness. To ensure we're the right fit, we begin with a complimentary 15-minute consultation. From there, we will plan your initial session and tailor our work to your specify your needs in a supportive and empathetic environment. Let's collaborate to build resilience and lead a fulfilling, thriving life.
As an Acceptance and Commitment Therapist, I specialize in helping with a variety of psychological issues as anxiety, depression, BP, ADHD, BPD, burnout, and other life challenges. In our sessions, I use mindfulness, acceptance exercises, and metaphors to boost your psychological flexibility, guiding you towards a more fulfilling life.
I know it takes a lot of bravery to ask for help, and I want you to know that I'm here to support you with both understanding and professional care. If you're dealing with issues that feel too big to handle by yourself, please remember you're not alone. Whenever you feel prepared to begin this journey, I encourage you to get in touch.
