What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where your comfort and trust are my top priorities. This initial meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, for me to understand your unique background, and for you to share the challenges you're facing. I will guide you through a thoughtful conversation aimed at understanding your goals, concerns, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. We'll also discuss the therapeutic process, including confidentiality, session structure, and my therapeutic approach. This session is as much about you getting to know me as it is about me getting to know you. My aim is to ensure that you feel heard, respected, and comfortable as we embark on this journey together towards your personal growth and well-being.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In my practice, I utilize a powerful array of treatment methods and tools, meticulously chosen and refined to provide profound and lasting impact. My approach is anchored in evidence-based techniques such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), renowned for their effectiveness in transforming thought patterns and behaviors. Additionally, I incorporate innovative methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma resolution, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and calm. I also employ the latest advancements in neuroscientific research to inform my practice, ensuring a holistic approach to mental health that not only addresses emotional and psychological needs but also considers the intricate workings of the brain. By integrating these diverse and powerful tools, I am able to offer a therapeutic experience that is not just transformative but also deeply attuned to the unique needs of each individual.

This ensures that I provide the most effective and compassionate care possible.

My unique strength as a therapist stems from my extensive background as a psychiatrist in Europe, enriching my counseling approach with a wide range of perspectives.
