You might be facing life's transitions, experiencing some unexpected reactions in yourself, and wondering what it means. Your search is for understanding and acceptance, with the hope to transform these experiences into personal growth and a deeper sense of self. There might be moments where you feel lost, anxious, or disconnected from your authentic self. The goal is not to eliminate these uncomfortable feelings, but instead to understand, accept, and transform them into personal growth, meaning, and purpose. You're looking for a place to be truly seen, heard, accepted, to foster authentic self-growth and integration.
My approach is firmly rooted in the basic principle that people will naturally engage in constructive and growth-oriented changes when provided an unconditionally accepting and empathic environment, which I strive to create in the context of therapy. Our relationship is the single most important factor for therapeutic change, so it is prioritized.
I aim to create a space where you can finally let go; let out those thoughts, feelings, memories, insecurities, and whatever other experiences you feel are unacceptable or unsafe to reveal in daily life. Although sometimes you feel it, it can be difficult to accept that these hold the greatest potential and value; they make you special and unique.
