Personal Experience & Biography

My approach to counseling combines psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies to help clients better understand themselves, work through emotional challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe that understanding the underlying causes of our struggles is an important first step toward healing. By exploring past experiences, emotional patterns, and the roots of distress, we can develop greater self-awareness and insight into what may be holding you back.

Building on that insight, I incorporate practical, evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
to help you develop healthier ways of thinking, manage difficult emotions, and make positive changes in your daily life. My goal is to help you not only understand yourself more deeply but also develop the tools and confidence to navigate life’s challenges and improve your overall well-being.

In addition to my counseling background, I have extensive experience working as a personal trainer, along with specialized training in nutrition-based mental health counseling and the impact of physical activity on mental well-being. This allows me to incorporate an understanding of fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle habits into my work, helping clients explore the connection between their physical health and mental well-being.
