Therapeutic Approaches

Alma: nourishing, soul, the heart of my practice.

I believe the healing process is a journey which must involve the whole being: mind, body, and alma. My approach is emotionally focused and psychodynamic, and my commitment to you is to hold a safe and affirming space where you can process the painful and difficult parts of your life. My intention is for you to walk away from therapy feeling empowered, connected, and fulfilled.

The first few sessions will be a collaborative experience of getting to know each other. I aim to create a safe space of non-judgment and empathy so that we can explore what brought you to therapy and cultivate self-compassion, and resilience.

Navigating life is like scaling a mountain. It’s full of ups and downs, a journey of self-compassion, a trek towards the summit of healing and growth.

If you're ready to explore the peaks and valleys of your inner landscape with gentleness and care, then I invite you to take the first step.

Reach out today and schedule a complimentary consultation. Together, let's transcend towards healing, growth, and a peaceful and a compassionate alma.
