I use an eclectic approach borrowing from different therapeutic modalities including Narrative Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems. I try to hold a trauma-informed and queer affirmative lense in my work.

This basically means, that during the course of therapy, we will try to develop a deep understanding of your concerns and hopes. We ask questions with genuine curiosity to explore conflicting needs, thoughts, and emotions, and we strive to build a compassionate relationship with them. Therapeutic space is also designed to see YOU beyond the issues you face, recognising your distinct values and beliefs as you navigate challenges. With the help of these insights and tools, together we put efforts towards identifying ways to help you achieve the goals that you set out for yourself.
