Therapy that sees you within your own story and context
How do we understand psychological pain without cutting it off from relationship, the body, history, and the context we live inside? Beginning therapy is not a simple decision. It can carry hesitation, fear, and many questions, yet it can also be a step in which you choose to stand beside yourself, and give what you carry inside a space where it can be seen, understood, and accompanied.
A safe space that sees the person in context
This is not a space for quick answers or ready-made diagnoses. It is a space to pause at what keeps repeating in the self, in relationship, in the body; and to try to understand it.
The therapeutic relationship begins from one basic idea: psychological experience is not formed on the inside alone. It takes shape within our earliest relationships, our bodily memory, the language we use to name our pain, and the social and political contexts we live within.
I am interested in studying and understanding life experiences and trauma within their context, not only as a painful event that happened and ended, but as an experience that can continue in the body, in attachment styles, and in the ways we learn to move closer, to move away, or to protect ourselves.
I draw on psychodynamic approaches, on attachment, on work with trauma, on cognitive behavioral therapy, and on liberation psychology. But what matters most is that the therapeutic language adapts to what the person in therapy needs, rather than pressing them into a ready-made frame.

Areas of work
Attachment and attachment styles
Understanding how we move toward others or away from them, and how experiences of safety, trust, fear, need, and boundaries repeat inside our current relationships.
Trauma in context
A space to understand what painful experiences have left inside you, not as an event separate from you, but as part of a wider story that includes your relationships, your body, your family, and your place in the world.
Context, identity, and belonging
A space for the questions of who we are and where we belong, and of how our relationship with ourselves takes shape within family, language, community, place, and memory.
Feelings and questions looking for meaning
Sometimes we come to therapy before we have a clear name for what we feel. There may be a heaviness, a sense of being lost, an inner tiredness, or questions that return quietly. Here we can begin from the experience as it is, and understand it together, step by step.
