I work with past traumas, eating disorders, relationship issues, personality disorders, anxiety, and depression. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and genuine care for my clients. I believe that everyone possesses the inner strength and resilience to overcome their struggles, and my role is to guide and support them on their journey towards personal growth and self-improvement. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems. I understands that each person's experience is unique, and therefore tailors her treatment to fit their individual needs and goals.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I ensure a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can freely express their thoughts and emotions. I foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship, encouraging open communication and active participation. By cultivating a sense of trust and partnership, I create an environment that is conducive to personal growth and positive change. With my warm and inviting demeanor, I am not only a skilled psychotherapist but also a trusted confidant and ally in helping individuals develop and strengthen their coping skills. My genuine care, extensive experience, and personalized approach make me an invaluable resource for those seeking to navigate life's challenges and thrive in the face of adversity.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Life is an interesting journey. Struggle is a natural sign of internal dissonance and call for a changeā€¦

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With years of training and practical experience, I am well-versed in the principles and techniques of CBT. I understands that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are deeply intertwined, and that by changing our thinking patterns and adopting healthier behaviors, we can create positive and lasting change. I always create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to share their concerns and work towards their therapeutic goals. Through active listening and empathy, we develop a strong rapport together, establishing a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Using evidence-based CBT techniques helps her clients recognize and challenge their negative thought patterns, replacing them with more realistic and positive ones. I would like to teach practical skills such as relaxation exercises, problem-solving strategies, and effective communication techniques, empowering my clients to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
