Life’s challenges, though often painful, hold the potential for profound growth. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore your emotions and develop effective coping strategies, aiming to discover sustainable solutions that truly resonate with you. Expect understanding, non-judgmental support, respect, kindness, a touch of humor, and compassion throughout our work together.
My core approach is process-oriented therapy, an active and goal-driven method that emphasizes exploring your immediate, unfolding experiences. We pay close attention to the connection between motivation and skills; emotions; relationship dynamics; and even body sensations, viewing them as valuable sources of information. Symptoms and disturbances are seen not as obstacles, but as meaningful signals pointing towards deeper patterns and potential for transformation. Together, we’ll uncover hidden dynamics, foster self-awareness, and develop practical, achievable solutions, facilitating both personal growth and tangible life changes.
I prioritize a genuine, trusting connection and tailor my approach to your individual needs. To best support your journey, I integrate a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including:

- Animal-assisted Therapy (Meet Butters!)
- Attachment-based Therapy
