I believe that much of what we feel, think and choose comes from places we can't see: things that were imprinted in us long ago, through past experiences, upbringing or the environment we grew up in, without our consciously choosing them. Today, when something keeps bothering us again and again, I see it as an invitation to journey inward, as if a higher part of our consciousness were asking us to grow. In therapy we can look at this together, slowly, at a pace that feels right and safe, until it becomes possible to feel, to choose again, and to practice new thoughts and patterns that fit who we are today and who we are becoming.

I don't come as an expert who knows what's right for you. I believe the answers to the problems that trouble us most are found deep inside us, and I'd like to walk with you on the way to them. This happens through the therapeutic relationship that forms between us: a relationship in which we learn to feel safe being who we are, in the most authentic, full and whole way, and in which we can look, with compassion, even at what isn't always pleasant to look at. I see our work together as teamwork, with a single only common interest in mind: you.

Therapy is a process of accompanying you emotionally, in depth, in which we meet once a week, for an hour each time. Consistency, with a framework of regular sessions, is essential. It lets us build our relationship, get to know each other, try things out, and build the confidence, trust and stable ground that any serious growth needs.

Most of our work will be through talking. Sometimes we'll choose to bring in other techniques, such as guided visualization, therapeutic cards, dream interpretation and other tools. The way we work is tailored to each person, so each session can look completely different from the last. Sessions are guided by your wishes and needs, and by what you want to work on.
