Therapy approach
I view my role as a collaborative guide, supporting clients in navigating their inner experiences within a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space. Drawing from Gestalt therapy, I help clients identify and shift patterns that hinder emotional growth and relational connection. I integrate this approach with evidence-based practices such as Somatic Experiencing and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help clients in addressing emotional and relational challenges.
For trauma-related issues, I use body-based exercises to help clients reconnect with their physical and emotional well-being, cultivating a sense of safety within their bodies.
Areas of Focus
Couples Counseling:
- Address: Misunderstandings, conflicts, communication breakdowns, lack of intimacy.
- Improve: Communication (active listening, assertiveness, limits/needs).
Individual Counseling: - Trauma Recovery: Process trauma, develop coping mechanisms (anxiety, depression, PTSD).
- Emotional Regulation: Manage anxiety/stress, improve emotional awareness/self-regulation.
