Human beings are not born with a manual in their hands about how to face life; we just do the best we can. We try, we have questions, we look for answers, for change. But we often feel frustrated, angry, sad, and often, don’t know why? We search for happiness, but often don’t know where to find it. This is not an easy road, but I believe that we are resilient and capable of finding answers.
As a therapist, my objective is to accompany you in this process, give you the hope that you are looking for in life. My role and my goal is to provide you with a space where you can safely explore your concerns, fears, and find solutions. I'll not give you advice, or a special formula. Instead, I will help you to discover yourself, and to find your answers.
I accept my clients where they are… appreciating your uniqueness and your experiences. If you allow me, I will be with you when you find what is not working for you, what is hurting you, and together we will look for healthier ways to live and enjoy your life.
