My Approach
Let’s embark on a therapeutic journey that not only addresses your specific needs but also celebrates the richness of your cultural background.
As a licensed psychologist and psychotherapist, I’m committed to offering you a warm and supportive space where you can explore your emotions and experiences freely. I combine diverse therapeutic modalities with international qualifications and experience to create a tailored strategy that addresses your unique needs and respects your culture and individuality. My services are available for both individual sessions and couple sessions, ensuring that you receive personalized support based on your specific needs and circumstances.
Merging modalities to improve well-being and relationships
I blend the evidenced-based techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the systemic and relational principles of Systemic Relational Therapy (SRT). This integrative approach gives a holistic understanding of your mental health and well-being as we explore both internal thought processes and the intricate web of relationships that shape your life.
Our work together aims to alleviate distress and improve emotional well-being, while enhancing the quality of your relationships and your ability to navigate life‘s complexities with resilience and insight.
Culture and diversity in therapy
In our therapeutic space, understanding and addressing cultural and diverse needs is fundamental. As we explore the impact culture may have on your worldview, we’ll take great care to understand your cultural roots and aim to create a therapeutic space that respects and honors the diversity of your individual experience.
Additionally, I extend this approach to expats, acknowledging the unique challenges they may face in adjusting to new cultural contexts.
For this reason, I also cultivate an affirming environment for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, where my focus lies in comprehensively understanding and addressing possible distinctive cultural and diverse needs.
By appreciating cultural nuances, I provide personalized, inclusive therapy tailored to your specific needs, fostering a collaborative relationship built on connection and understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Why Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is grounded in the belief that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are closely intertwined, shaping our experiences. In this way, CBT is a practical and goal-oriented approach and offers efficiency as well as tools to confront current difficulties head-on; designed to empower you. It is structured around examining and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT helps identify and reframe these thoughts, promoting more adaptive thinking.
Our focus is clear — we set specific goals within an achievable timeframe, ensuring that progress is measurable and personalized to your unique journey. By embracing the principles of CBT, you're not just navigating your challenges; you're actively engaging in a transformative process geared towards achieving the positive change you seek.

Systemic Relational Therapy
Why Systemic Relational Therapy?
Systemic Relational Therapy (SRT) serves as a helpful guide, allowing us to look at the deeper layers of the issue and which past familial dynamics and learned behaviors might inform the challenges we face today.
Within this framework we acknowledge that individuals exist within complex systems of relationships—family, social networks, and broader societal contexts. We explore the interplay between personal experiences and the dynamics of these systems, recognizing the importance of understanding and improving the quality of connections with others.
This systemic lens allows us to explore and address patterns of interaction, communication, and support within your relational networks, improving communication, and fostering healthy relationships within the broader context of systems and relationships. Let's collaborate to navigate these patterns, fostering positive connections for your overall well-being.
Integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Systemic Relational Therapy
Why an Integration of the two Approaches?
This integration allows for a holistic understanding, addressing both individual and relational aspects. It provides targeted interventions for specific issues, such as anxiety or depression, while exploring how these concerns may be interconnected with broader systemic dynamics. The combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Systemic Relational Therapy aims for long-term impact by transforming not only immediate concerns but also underlying relational patterns.
Furthermore, this approach enhances cultural sensitivity by considering how cultural factors influence both cognitive patterns and relationships. It provides flexibility in tailoring therapeutic strategies to your individual needs, recognizing your uniqueness as a client. Ultimately, the synergy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Systemic Relational Therapy creates a versatile and effective therapeutic framework, acknowledging the complexities of both individual and relational dynamics in your journey towards mental health and well-being.
Individual Therapy
Life's challenges can be overwhelming, and individual therapy offers a confidential and supportive environment for self-exploration and personal growth. Whether you're navigating through personal struggles, seeking personal development, or coping with life transitions, our individual therapy sessions are designed to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and foster positive change.
Couple’s Therapy
Relationships are intricate and dynamic, and can sometimes require dedicated attention and care. Couple's therapy provides a safe and collaborative space for partners to explore and understand each other better, improve communication, and strengthen the foundations of their relationship. Whether you are facing specific challenges, seeking general counseling, or simply aiming to enhance your connection, couple's therapy can be a transformative journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling partnership.
