"Every life is a piece of art,
put together with all means available."
Pierre Janet
ABOUT
Active, Empathic, Transparent
Often, we seek therapy when we feel overwhelmed—by anxiety, depression, a life transition or a difficult relationship. I create an empathic, non-judgmental space where you can regain your balance, gain insight, and, ultimately, become more confident and secure.
Together, we’ll identify the patterns that are holding you back, as well as your unique strengths. I tailor my approach to best address your needs and abilities. Sometimes, that means I provide straightforward, active strategies so you can feel more calm and empowered. At other times, it means I provide an open, reflective space where I help you experience your most connected, authentic self. I believe authenticity, honesty and humor make up the heart of an effective treatment.
