WELCOME
My philosophy is to provide a safe, nurturing and caring environment for my clients in order for the healing process to begin. I have worked extensively with adults, adolescents and children. My goal is to allow the client to feel strengthened and to discover new potentials for restoration, progress and transformation.
My clinical interests include anxiety and depression, trauma, affective disorders, relationship and interpersonal issues, post-traumatic stress disorder and life transitions.
I am a trauma-informed clinical psychologist trained in Psychodynamic Therapy and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). In my clinical practice, I utilize a psychodynamic-psychoanalytic approach and my training and professional development have been expanded to practice in an integrated manner that combines psychological and emotional functioning with psychobiological health. We will work with the emotional experience of any sad or painful consequences and will track and undo the aloneness together. We will then work towards healing the trauma and suffering with the goal of expanding positive transformational experiences. We all have the innate ability to rebuild and restore ourselves, and, the therapeutic goal is to foster any development of new and healing processes together. My treatment approach combines dynamic exploration and hands-on solutions to help you in discovering an authentic and fulfilling life.
