About My Clients

I endeavor to help my clients develop self-awareness and achieve their potential, enabling them to find their own answers and make transformative changes. I sensitively deal with individual and systematic/cultural influences to ensure clients’ goals and actions are manageable, realistic, and sustainable.

My Background and Approach

I am a humanistic and person-centered therapist, which means that I work in a non-directive, client centered way. My therapeutic approach is informed by evidenced based trainings in emotion focused therapy, gestalt therapy, brainspotting, and other approaches such as solution- focused therapy, mindfulness, and internal family systems.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Together we can build coping strategies by looking at the situation from an unfamiliar perspective. By exploring and challenging personal values, attitudes and beliefs that lead to negative patterns, we can break the cycle of self-defeating and self-sabotaging behavior that is often the cause of our present difficulties.
