My passion is to help others heal, particularly those dealing with trauma, by guiding them through emotional and mental challenges. I provide expertise, compassion, and practical tools to navigate difficult issues. With a focus on creating a safe, empathetic environment, I help clients take meaningful steps toward personal growth. Integrating various techniques, I ensure a comprehensive healing journey. Grounded in the belief, "The greatest form of self-love is self-discipline," I encourage accountability and self-mastery in all aspects of life, fostering lasting change.

I take a solution-focused approach, pushing clients to align their actions with their values. By helping them make decisions that reflect their true selves, I guide them in overcoming trauma-related burdens such as guilt, shame, and anger. I foster resilience, empowering clients to live authentic and fulfilling lives free from emotional weight.

Through a tailored combination of trauma-focused therapies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic interventions and mindfulness, I help clients heal and connect with their bodies and emotions, not bury them. I am committed to supporting each person in taking actionable steps toward a brighter future and build a life rooted in authenticity and strength.

I employ a highly analytical and somatic approach in my practice, focusing on exploring and integrating unconscious thoughts and emotions to foster psychological wholeness and personal growth. My approach places significant emphasis on the roles of spirituality, creativity, and the collective unconscious within the human psyche. I ultimately use a body-centered approach to trauma healing.
