About me as a therapist
My psychotherapeutic method is based on psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I work in a client-centered manner, maintaining an attentive and active presence. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process that proceeds at the client's pace within a safe and trusting environment. As a psychotherapist, I am empathetic, calm, inquisitive, and accepting. I also maintain an open-minded and positive outlook on life!
About my therapy sessions
We will begin with one or two exploratory sessions. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a theory-based approach to examining and treating psychological symptoms and suffering. The aim of the sessions is, among other things, to enhance the ability to recognize, understand, and process one’s own emotions, internal conflicts, and problems in a way that fosters inner growth and change. In my practice, we proceed at the client's pace, working collaboratively.
