A Little Bit About Me

All of us could benefit from psychotherapy (yes, including psychotherapists).

Anywhere on the spectrum of mental dispositions we may find ourselves at – from clinical psychiatric illness to simply trying to make sense of our lives, grow as individuals, or understand our own minds – it is one of my guiding professional beliefs that we should all take advantage of the power of talk therapy. When done with honesty and vulnerability, talk therapy is cathartic and helps us see our issues more clearly and objectively. When we make order from chaos, things start being more manageable.

I also believe that we all need to have a sense of belonging and meaning. These needs tend to be silent, hidden under a garden variety of insecurities and anxieties, but when acknowledged through the process of psychotherapy, they shed light on the way we relate to the world, others, and ourselves. Often, therein lays the cause of much of our struggling.

Lastly, from a philosophical stance, I trust that we all want to be truly known, seen and accepted for who we really are. While that may be one of the deepest yearnings of humans, it is also very difficult to achieve, because words don’t always capture those deep insights we carry within ourselves. Sharing our true selves requires a very unique connection with another, but most importantly, it first demands our own ability to understand and accept ourselves; the latter is perhaps one of the hardest parts of psychotherapy but also the most rewarding.

Shaped by these beliefs, my role as a psychotherapist encompasses:

  • Holding space for you to share your true self, heal, or un-learn anything that holds you back
  • Functioning as a guide
  • Respecting your choices and journey through psychotherapy
  • Sharing my professional knowledge and tools that you can use in order to get where you want

Whether you are facing difficult issues or just looking to know yourself better, I am here for you.

The process

Transform your life one step at a time

I am here to create a space where you can feel understood, seen and heard. I am here to listen, help you make sense of your world, gain perspective, uncover your strengths and better manage your stressors so that you can revive your vitality.

Talk to me first

Many find it intimidating making this first call – you’re not alone! It’s short though, and will help me understand what you’re looking to work on and see if we’re a good fit for each other.

Book your session

After our initial call, we’ll schedule your first appointment. Some documents and questionnaires must be completed prior to our session. Once those are filled, we can begin.

Sit with me

Sessions will take place either in person or online. Our first meeting will focus on getting to know you and honing in on your treatment goals. This is where it all begins.

Growth occurs when individuals confront problems, struggle to master them, and through that struggle develop new aspects of their skills, capacities, views about life.~ Carl Rogers
