Introduction

I am a seasoned therapist with over 12 years of experience, specializing in Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-focused therapy. My approach, characterized by kindness, compassion, and a gentle demeanor, creates a safe and nurturing space for individuals aged 16 and up to explore their emotions and behaviors. I am dedicated to helping my clients process the underlying reasons behind their challenges while achieving tangible results in the present moment. Through my expertise and nurturing presence, I aid clients in navigating their journey towards healing, growth, and self-discovery.
