Why I Became a Therapist
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply passionate about understanding the human mind and helping others navigate their personal struggles. I became a therapist because I truly believe that with the right guidance and support, anyone can find their path to healing.
My journey in psychology started with my own curiosity about emotions, the mind, and the profound impact mental health has on our daily lives. Over the years, I’ve seen how therapy can transform lives, and that’s why I’m dedicated to offering therapy that’s not just about talking, but about real, lasting change.
My Approach – Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)
I specialize in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a therapy model that focuses on deep emotional healing and accelerated change. ISTDP works by identifying and addressing the underlying emotional blockages that hold you back—whether they are rooted in trauma, grief, or unresolved past experiences.
What sets ISTDP apart is its direct, focused approach, helping you work through emotions that often go unnoticed or suppressed. This is not a “quick fix,” but a method that enables deep and lasting change in a short period of time. The goal is to heal, not just to cope.
