I believe there isn’t one single way to feel better or live a fulfilling life. Each person’s path is different, and my role is to help you find what works best for you. Together, we’ll create a therapy plan that fits your needs and builds on your values and strengths.
My approach is grounded in kindness, curiosity, and collaboration. I draw from several therapeutic methods, mainly Schema Therapy and EMDR, and also use tools from ACT and DBT. This gives us the flexibility to explore things deeply or take a more focused approach - depending on what feels right for you.
In our first session, I’ll take time to get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy, so we can shape our work together in a way that truly feels like you.
Outside of my work, I love playing padel, exercising, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends.
