A Little About Me
My Practice
Are you feeling stuck in the weight of past trauma? Struggling with anxiety or depression that seems impossible to shake? Wondering if healing is truly possible?
With almost 10 years of experience, I specialize in guiding survivors of trauma, sexual violence, torture, and abuse toward resilience and empowerment. I also support individuals facing depression and anxiety, helping them rediscover balance and confidence in their lives.
I work with all age groups, using a CBT-based approach that explores the powerful connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My sessions incorporate mindfulness techniques to cultivate calm and clarity, along with exposure therapy to help you safely confront and overcome fears.
Healing is a journey—one you don’t have to take alone. If you're ready to break free from what’s holding you back, let’s take the first step together.
What I'm Like
I believe that every person has the capacity for healing and growth, no matter how difficult their past experiences may be. My approach is rooted in compassion, empowerment, and evidence-based techniques, helping clients build resilience and reclaim their sense of self.
Core Values in My Work:
🔹 Safety First – Healing starts with trust. I create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.
🔹 Empowerment Over Escape – I don’t just help you cope; I help you take back control, rediscover your strength, and build the confidence to move forward.
🔹 Science Meets Soul – My approach blends evidence-based techniques with deep compassion, ensuring you get the best of both worlds: proven methods and genuine connection.
🔹 Healing Through Partnership – Therapy isn’t something I do to you—it’s something we build together. Your voice, your pace, your journey.
What Can You Expect From My Sessions
I bring a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a space where clients feel safe, supported, and truly heard. While I tailor my style to each person’s needs, my sessions are typically engaging, interactive, and empowering—a balance between deep reflection and actionable change.
I believe therapy should be a partnership, not a one-sided conversation. I guide and challenge my clients when needed, but I also respect their pace, ensuring they feel in control of their healing journey. My approach is direct but empathetic, helping clients face difficult emotions with both courage and self-compassion.
I also believe in the power of authenticity and even humor—healing doesn’t always have to be heavy. While we work through difficult emotions, I find that moments of lightness and genuine connection can be just as transformative.
Above all, I meet my clients where they are, offering structured guidance when necessary and space for self-exploration when beneficial. Whether you need a firm but gentle push forward or a quiet moment to process, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Our first session
Stepping into therapy can feel like a big leap—but don’t worry, I’ve got you. Our first session is all about laying the foundation for your journey in a way that feels safe, comfortable, and empowering.
🔹 A Conversation, Not an Interrogation – We’ll start with an open and easygoing discussion about what brought you here. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—you set the pace.
🔹 Getting to Know You – I’ll ask about your experiences, challenges, and goals, but more importantly, I want to understand you—what matters to you, what’s weighing on you, and what you hope to gain from therapy.
🔹 Mapping the Journey – We’ll explore how I can best support you, whether you need structure, space to process, or a mix of both. I’ll introduce the CBT-based tools, mindfulness techniques, and exposure strategies we might use along the way.
🔹 No Pressure, No Pretenses – This isn’t about fixing everything in one session—it’s about creating a foundation of trust and collaboration. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of what our work together will look like and the confidence to take that next step.
Therapy isn’t just about healing—it’s about empowerment, growth, and reclaiming your story. And it all starts here.
