Nice to meet you

Dissatisfied with your dating life? Feeling inadequate in work or relationships? Struggling with stagnancy or a sense of being left out? You’re not alone. Through empathetic listening, a structured approach to therapy, and evidence-based techniques such as EMDR, ACT, and EFT, I help clients find meaning and fulfillment while addressing underlying factors like negative core beliefs and past trauma. I invite you to join me on a journey toward greater emotional well-being and a renewed sense of belonging in the world.
