My Approach

Healing happens in
connection

1

A first conversation

We begin by understanding what brings you here, what feels difficult right now, and what has been carrying too much weight for too long.

2

Finding the pattern beneath the pain

Together we explore the emotional structure underneath the symptoms — the recurring loops, reactions, silences, pressures, and protective habits.

3

Building clarity and change

Therapy creates space for more awareness, steadiness, and honest movement. Not rushed. Not performative. But real.

Method

I blend CBT with Emotionally Focused and Gestalt therapy — evidence-based structure with deep experiential work — so change takes root in both mind and body. My focus is trauma, family, and couples therapy, where healing happens in relationship.

Anger Management

Finding Calm in the Chaos

A structured program designed to help you understand the roots of your anger, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and transform reactive patterns into conscious responses. In a supportive group setting, you'll discover that anger is not the enemy — it's a messenger.
