About me and my therapy practice
In our work together, I aim to help you develop a compassionate awareness of your difficulties. By facing these challenges, we can access the force within you that nourishes a rich and meaningful life. I believe that confronting our suffering often leads us to our deepest sense of belonging, joy, and resilience. I aim to support you on this journey, helping you uncover the strength and wisdom that already reside within you.
My approach is integrative, drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor each session to your needs. I don’t come into sessions with a fixed agenda; instead, I create a space where you can explore whatever arises. Holistically, I incorporate psychological, philosophical, and spiritual perspectives, and consider the mind, body, and soul aspects of each client.
Specifically, I use psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and Jungian approaches, all while maintaining a transpersonal perspective in order to collaborate with you to craft a therapeutic journey that truly reflects your individual needs.
Practice description
I offer a safe, confidential space to explore your inner world together. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, relief from emotional distress, or simply a deeper understanding of yourself, our weekly sessions will be tailored to meet your unique needs. They can either be open-ended, allowing us the time to delve deeply into what arises, or set within a specific timeframe, with a recommended minimum of 8 sessions to support meaningful progress.
My first session
Every individual is unique, and I believe in crafting therapeutic journeys that honour singularities. I recommend starting with an introductory call to help establish your needs. In our initial sessions, we collaborate to create a flexible plan that guides our work together. Evolving over time, the plan can adapt to your changing needs and experiences. Throughout this process, I will always respect your journey and work with you through informed consent.
