A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be curious, and to fight tirelessly for something.

Philosophy

Experience

At the core of my therapeutic philosophy is the belief that our life experiences, both challenging and enriching, offer invaluable insights that can lead to profound healing. I see each person as a unique story, and through the lens of their experiences, we unravel the threads of their journey. These experiences, even the most difficult ones, provide us with wisdom and resilience that can be harnessed for growth. By embracing our experiences and exploring their impact in a safe and supportive therapeutic space, we can foster understanding, self-compassion, and ultimately, healing. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, using life's experiences as guides toward a more fulfilling and empowered life.
