"Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a psychotherapist. A psychotherapist provides a supportive environment that allows patients to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental."

American Psychological Association

"Psychotherapy is a type of treatment that can help individuals experiencing a wide array of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Psychotherapy can help not only alleviate symptoms, but also, certain types of psychotherapies can help identify the psychological root causes of one’s condition so a person can function better and have enhanced emotional well-being and healing."

A Bit About Therapy

Reaching out for help can be an intimidating journey, yet it's an act of profound courage that often emerges from the depths of vulnerability. We are inherently social beings, and our interactions shape our understanding of ourselves. But sometimes we find ourselves alone or feeling alone even when surround by people. I believe in guiding individuals from that shadow back into the light. I want to help people become the best versions of themselves. And to understand and accept that we cannot, nor should we try to be, the best version of someone else.

 

I strongly believe that comparison is the thief of joy and when we start focusing on ourselves, discovering and honoring what we do have rather than what we don't, we can start feeling happier in this crazy world of ours. Once we identify what we do have, we can start learning what we want to have so we can expand, grow and lead fulfilling lives

 

If you feel your life has veered off course or if you're on a quest for self-understanding, I extend an invitation to reach out.

About Me

In addition to my private practice, I am also the Clinical Director of one of the world's few LGBTQ+ specialized drug and alcohol treatment centers. Consequently I have much experience with queer issues (in particular with gay male and transgender clients), substance abuse problems, problematic sexual behavior/sexual addiction, relationship distress, consensual non-monogamy, trauma, personality disorders, mood disorders (Bipolar, depression, anxiety, etc), neurodivergence, and other dual-diagnosis issues. Through my clinical training, I have also worked with many autistic patients as well as preteens, teenagers, adults and couples.
​
My approach varies depending on the patient's needs but my clinical work is informed by Psychodynamic, Attachment theory, post-Modern theories (Narrative and Solution-Focused), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Positive Psychology, Person-Centered, CBT and DBT. I am EMDR trained, not certified. I'm currently working towards my Certified Sex Addiction Therapist credential as a CSAT Candidate.
