I had previously studied Gestalt and Transactional Analysis, as well as Social Psychiatry, and was eager to continue my education in the U.S.In Los Angeles, I expanded my expertise through studies in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Jungian Sandplay, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Brainspotting (BSP), earning a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. Since 2010, I’ve practiced psychotherapy, integrating my training with a passion for breaking patterns of disconnection that often stem from childhood neglect. Offering care such as Sandplay Therapy for Children and Adults, Traditional psychodynamic talk therapy, Attachment-Based therapy, Trauma-Informed therapy, Guided imagery, Breath-work and more. I believe …that within each person lies a part that remains perfect and untouched by life’s challenges—this is “personal agency and resilience.” Together, we’ll explore your past and present, focusing on cognition, emotions, body sensations, and behaviors, while fostering your inner strength. As we navigate life’s difficulties, I’ll provide support and genuine interest, helping you find creative and productive solutions.
