Nice to meet you
Being human means embracing both simplicity and depth, with suffering as a natural part of life. I believe emotional avoidance often leads to long-term pain, and acceptance can reduce its power. I work with clients facing addiction, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, trauma, and grief, using DBT, CBT, and psychodynamic approaches. Therapy is a collaborative healing journey where the client-therapist alliance plays a crucial role in fostering acceptance and growth.
