Approach

If you are wondering how therapy is, and what does it look like to work with me

Approach

​Gestalt, relational, embodied

My approach is rooted in Gestalt therapy and other experiential traditions, with an integrative lens that incorporates elements of other approaches when helpful (e.g., person-centered therapy, schema therapy, body-oriented mindfulness).

 

At the heart of my work is genuine human contact, curiosity, and presence. I pay attention not only to what you say, but to what happens in the moment: in your emotions, body, and the ways you make sense of your experiences.

The Therapeutic Process

A journey guided by your pace

​As humans we learn to survive in creative and intelligent ways. Patterns or symptoms that show up as anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection often once served an important purpose, helping us cope and endure.

 

The therapeutic process is not about fixing you, but about creating enough support to touch what lies beneath these patterns and integrate what has been fragmented, unfinished, unmet.​

How we work together

A supportive space for you

In sessions, we create a space where emotions, bodily sensations, and inner experiences can emerge. There is room for reflection, noticing patterns, and experimenting with new ways of responding.

​

The therapeutic work is paced according to your needs, helping you build awareness and the capacity to process your experiences, develop greater self-support, and make sense of what feels difficult or overwhelming.
