Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

I believe that human beings naturally strive for emotional/physical health and balance, psychological distress occurs when this natural balance is disturbed. Traumatic experiences, developmental transitions and changes in our environment can all cause a psychological crisis. My goal is to help clients return to their optimal level of functioning, through the process of self exploration and discovery in an inspiring and safe environment. I strive to approach each individual in a unique way, tailoring treatment to the clients specific needs. I believe in employing non judgmental curiosity when thinking about an individual's inner world. I believe that therapy should be an exciting and creative process. Having lived in many different parts of the world, I pay close attention to cultural nuances that color our experiences, I try to stay sensitive and close to the unique topography of an individual's emotional life. Therapeutic process is a collaboration between all involved. I believe in looking at the totality of what makes an individual, including one's childhood experiences, styles of attachment, history of relationships, thoughts, dreams, hopes and disappointments. Therapy is a special space created and dedicated to understanding who we are and where we are going.
