Life is full of uncertainty, changes, losses, gains, and growth. Some are expected, some are not.

This is a journey to enhance relationship with self and others, to extend the sense of safety and belonging, to know the art of accepting and forgiving, to be in touch with resiliency, to move toward self-compassion, and to have th...

My therapeutic orientation is guided by a psychodynamic, relational approach that emphasizes trust-building and collaboration.

At the heart of psychotherapy is accompaniment through one’s inner world. Current difficulties, past struggles, individual and familial traumas, hidden hopes and dreams – all of this will be central to making sense of your present and building toward your future. Starting psychotherapy can feel intimidating, but the benefits can be huge: deeper self-understanding, more meaningful and authentic relationships, reduced depression and anxiety, increased self-confidence. I have worked with a diver...

Understanding what is causing problems can help you feel less stuck and immobilized, more at peace, and more self-confident. Psycho...
