Psychotherapy is the intricate healing process of restoring parts of ourselves that we are struggling with. While we humans cannot choose what happens to us or make everything “right” to us, we have the power to alter how suffering affects us.
I try my best to create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients and I honor their vulnerability and courage. I also trust my clients and empower them to be their own experts in this healing process.
My approach with clients always starts with building a trusting and collaborative rapport as I strongly believe that natural healing begins with a therapeutic relationship. I value my clients’ beliefs and explore their inner world as I know each one of us is a unique individual holding a unique way to interpret our life.
