Sometimes things happen in life that we cannot stand up and keep walking like we have in the past. I help my clients take a look at what it is that has them feeling stuck and unhappy, where that might be coming from and work on the root of the problem.

Treatment Approach
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- 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.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Hypnotherapy Uses guided relaxation and focus to access the subconscious mind. It is often used for habits, anxiety, and pain management.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: We all have painful experiences. Sometimes, these feel overwhelming and we cannot find the inner resources to keep going. Therapy is a process of self discovery, of learning to relate with oneself in a different way: kind, compassionate, loving changing our mind's wiring and relationships.

There are two basic components to the therapy I do: technique and relationship. I have an integrative model using techniques that are proven to help heal from pain, recognize past wounds, and provide with skills and tools to be able to change how our mind works which impacts how we relate with ourselves and others. At the same time, the relationship I establish with my clients is fundamental in treatment. I believe that the relationships itself is therapeutic. I make sure my clients experience change in my office every single session. This is how long lasting and profound change occurs.
