Hi, if you're returning to therapy or new to it, I'm glad you're here! Let's start this journey.
The process of psychotherapy can elicit excitement as well as anxiety-provoking feelings as you begin to make active changes in your life. Therefore, we will collaboratively create a therapeutic environment that allows you to comfortably talk about the therapy process, including the goals you set for yourself, and, among other things, lessen any possible feelings of stuckness.
I hold an integrative and holistic theoretical orientation. This means I consider the individuals’ contextual setting, interpersonal and intrapersonal interactions, and the interconnectedness of physiological and psychological well-being (e.g., the relationship between anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome). I aim to create a space where, to an extent, you no longer feel isolated or burdened with concerns and intrusive thoughts. Some of the theories and techniques I intend to use in my approach comprise psychoanalytic, relational psychodynamic, and multicultural perspectives, along with evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Although there are limitations to specific tools and theories in the psychological field, I believe my observations and experiences with individuals over their life course allowed me to incorporate the tools I learned and continue to practice with while keeping in mind the differences and similarities we share as individuals.
