I'm not your traditional therapist.

My goal is to be a partner to your journey, to the change you wish to make in your life, and to help you move forward, happier, more aware, and more complete with yourself, your family or your better half. 

My therapeutic approach concentrates on short term treatment, which emphasizes on a more ‎open, mutual and equal relationship in order to have the opportunity to work on a specific ‎issue in a more intensive manner.‎‎
