I’m a warmhearted therapist dedicated to fostering deep connections and emotional safety. My approach will empower you to embrace your authentic self, navigate diverse emotions, and face challenges with courage and compassion. I’ll create a comfortable environment for us to work collaboratively, empowering you to make lasting changes aligned with your values and principles, leading to a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, empathetic, radically compassionate, playful, strength-based and non-judgmental.
When it comes to my approach in working with couples, I firmly believe that embracing each other's flaws and vulnerabilities is a key ingredient in a thriving relationship. I support couples to recognize that perfection is not the goal; instead, it's about acknowledging imperfections and working together to grow and evolve. I am sex and body-positive.
You can anticipate not only receiving guidance and support in our sessions, but also experiencing my interactive approach that combines a sense of lightness with unwavering attentiveness, infused with a sense of humor.
