Therapy can be helpful for those navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, or other emotional difficulties. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit—therapy also offers a space for self-discovery, improving relationships, and making meaningful changes in your life. That said, there are situations where I may not be the most suitable professional—such as cases that require crisis intervention or specialized support for severe mental health conditions. In these situations, I’ll do my best to guide you toward the appropriate resources.
Everything starts with a free, no-obligation 20-minute introductory call. In this conversation, you’ll have the opportunity to share your needs and expectations around therapy, and I’ll explain my therapeutic approach. Together, we’ll explore whether I’m the right person to support you and if you’d like to move forward with the process.
Book your first therapy session to begin the process. New clients start with a package of 4 sessions.
For therapy to be truly effective, consistency matters. That’s why sessions take place weekly and last 50 minutes. There’s no fixed timeline for the process—it really depends on your goals, what you bring to therapy, how engaged you feel, and the topics we’ll work through together.
Every therapist has their own style of practice. I work with a holistic view of mental health, which means I keep a broad perspective when working with clients and try to consider the many facets of what makes you, you - including your physical, social, and spiritual well-being, as well as your age, gender, nationality, language, culture, life experiences, and beliefs. All of these factors are important and influence our choices and how we interact with the world.
Therefore, I work with each client differently. There is no “one-size-fits-all” intervention. Renowned psychologist Carl Jung once said: "Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul". This is an excellent reflection of my style as a therapist.
In my professional practice, I use a combination of evidence-based approaches. This means that I do not stick to a single manual but rather create a unique blend for each client using scientifically proven interventions curated using my clinical knowledge and expertise while also considering your needs and personal preferences.
The primary methods and techniques that I most often use in my professional work are based on:
