In therapy
Life can bring periods of uncertainty, loss, change and emotional stain. Questions about identity, family life, relationsship, anxiety, stress, shame or isolation may become more present at different stages of life.
Some experiences are easy to talk about. Others can be harder to put into words.
Therapy offers an opportunity to stay with these experiences, explore them more closely, and understand the place they hold in your life.
Therapy begins with the experiences, concerns and questions that are most present in your life.
Together, we take time to explore them rather than rushing towards explanations or solutions. We may pay attention to emotions, relationships, recurring patterns or situations that seem to return again and again.
As we work, experiences that have felt unclear, overwhelming or difficult to express can gradually become easier to understand and relate to. New perspectives may emerge, and aspects of yourself or your relationships may become clearer.
The process is shaped by what is important to you and by the experiences you bring into the room.

Therapy is not about being analyzed or corrected.
It is about being met with clarity, emotional presence and respect. In our sessions, we work at a pace that feels safe and meaningful for you.
My work is informed by Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and draws inspiration from phenomenological and gestalt traditions.
These approaches share an interest in emotions, relationships and lived experience, and support the way I work with individuals and couples.
