I am a psychotherapist working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and dissatisfaction in relationships. I help my clients explore how past trauma and experiences are impacting their current functioning and relationships and how they can create new relational patterns with themselves and others. My aim is to empower my clients to cultivate a healthy self-perception, foster stronger relationships, and develop the internal strength to uphold personal accountability and integrity.

Therapist

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that an empathic approach creates an environment, in which, trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between psychotherapist and patient constitutes an important tool, in the understanding of patient's past and present behaviors.
