About Me
Hello and welcome!
I’ve been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 12 years and have recently expanded my work to specialize in EMDR as a core treatment approach.
My areas of focus include substance use and addiction, OCD, personality disorders (including BPD and NPD), depression and bipolar disorders, and anxiety disorders.
In my work, I integrate an attachment-focused, psychodynamic perspective with EMDR. This approach allows us to build a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship while also exploring deeper themes—such as recurring patterns, symbols, dreams, and longstanding relational dynamics—that may be shaping your current experiences.
