LMFT, 18 years of experience
New to Grow
Creating a safe and non-judgmental place where clients feel heard and understood is my first step in supporting individuals in starting a journey of healing and growth. With my background in psychodynamic, I take a client-centered and collaborative approach, while using my additional knowledge and skills in mind-body connection, mindfulness, trauma informed and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I am also trained and certified in different treatment modalities which has enriched my practice over the years. Having lived in different countries and being exposed to different cultures have given me the opportunity to develop further cultural sensitivity.
During first session, we will meet and work together to build therapeutic rapport, for you as a client to feel if we are a good match, and for me as a therapist to gather information about you, what brings you to therapy and develop an understanding of your mental health state and the context you live in.
Empathy, genuine interest in well-being, and belief in mind-body connection as well as our connection to nature and it's power of healing are important part of my practice and therapeutic approach.
I have had the honor to work with patients from different ages and backgrounds. While I started my practice working predominantly with children and parents, I now work mostly with young adults, middle-aged adults and seniors.
