Treatment Approaches:
As a therapist, I’m guided by a deep belief that every person holds an innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery. My work blends several therapeutic approaches—existential therapy, trauma-informed care, attachment theory, Gestalt therapy, and manifestation-based practices—to support clients in reconnecting with themselves and creating meaningful change. I view therapy as a collaborative process where curiosity, compassion, and awareness come together to help you better understand your inner world and live with greater clarity and intention.
In our work, we explore the deeper questions of identity, purpose, and meaning through an existential lens, while remaining attentive to the ways trauma and early relationships shape how you experience yourself and others. Drawing from attachment theory and Gestalt techniques, I help you recognize patterns, stay present with your emotions, and build healthier, more secure connections. I also incorporate manifestation practices—grounded in intention-setting, mindset shifts, and aligning actions with values—to support personal empowerment and forward momentum. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and capable of creating a life that reflects your authentic self
