How I approach therapy
Gestalt therapy invites us to meet experience as it unfolds — not to fix or explain it, but to understand what it reveals about how we live and relate. I see therapy as a dialogue between two people, each bringing curiosity and presence to what emerges between us.
​
Rather than searching for a single truth or diagnosis, we pay attention to the nuances of your experience: how you make contact, what interrupts it, and what wants to be expressed. Through awareness, new responses become possible, and energy that was once bound in old patterns can move towards growth and integration.
About Me
When I am not working, I can be found walking a labyrinth or learning a new language. Nature is my sanctuary, where I find peace and inspiration. I like to run outdoors. Spirituality is also a significant part of my life, allowing me to seek deeper meaning and connection. I explore my creativity in poetry and writing, and find solace in music and art.
