It’s good to see you. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is central in the healing journey, so I’ll tell you a little about me.

It’s been a long and complicated journey to get to where I am now. As far as I can remember I’ve been very introspective and sensitive. Combine this with other factors and you get my own unique and colorful mental health journey. On this journey I’ve incorporated my curiosity, love for learning, and desire to understand the world and people around me, leaving me with insights and experience that I believe to be very valuable, especially in my role as a therapist.

My work prioritizes the therapeutic relationship above all else, ensuring that my clients feel seen, understood, and accepted unconditionally. Once this alliance is formed, I utilize approaches from CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and person-centered therapy. In layman’s terms, this means deepening insight, processing emotions, challenging beliefs, problem-solving, and good old-fashion discussion.
