I've been specially trained to guide my clients in identifying patterns in their everyday life and relationship problems. Over time, I help people gain better control over these patterns through enhanced self-awareness and commitment to change.

I’m not the therapist who sits there and says nothing, nor am I ever patronizing. I view therapy as a two-person team effort, the success of which depends on a combo of my skill as a trained psychologist and your meaningful engagement in the process.

My priority is to listen and to respect your needs and the problems you are facing. Therefore, treatment is tailored to each individual. I integrate psychoanalytic, cognitive, feminist, interpersonal, and psychodynamic techniques.

I blend somatic therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and mindfulness to help my clients connect to themselves more deeply and move towards a place of healing and self-compassion.
