Psychologist, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Schema Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy
I am a trauma-focused psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience in individual therapy. My work is grounded in CBT, IoPT (Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy) and EMDR, approaches that help clients process deep emotional pain and restore inner balance.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Schema Therapy Identifies deep-rooted negative patterns formed in childhood. It combines CBT, attachment theory, and experiential methods for change.
Approach Description: My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining evidence-based methods with trauma-focused modalities. I primarily work through IoPT (Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy) and EMDR, while also integrating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
This combination allows me to adapt the process to each client’s needs — addressing both the deep emotional roots of trauma and the cognitive or behavioral patterns that maintain distress.
My aim is to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic space where awareness, compassion, and change can emerge naturally.
