My understanding of psychotherapy starts from the position that there is no cure or fixation, and my practical experience makes me consider the goal of psychotherapy as a different avenue to change and growth, and to remove the obstacles to knowing the extent of our relations, thoughts, and feelings.
My approach is integrative psychodynamic, an innovative and holistic approach to psychotherapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic schools of thought. It focuses on the dynamics and potentials of human relationships, with a goal of changing the relations and understanding internal and external resistances. Like the wind through the tree, my psychotherapeutic practice is a movement between the past and the present, between the inside and outside, between the therapist and the client.
Psychotherapy is a safe space for you to review your life, reflect and explore how you relate to others in your personal and professional life with me. As your therapist, I will listen to you with warmth and curiosity, and bring in my professional experience in a way that will support you in creating your own solutions.
Psychotherapy is not a quick fix, but takes effort and can be challenging in many ways.
