My Focus

I work from a developmental theoretical orientation, which means I understand people’s experiences and challenges in the context of their life span growth. I believe early relationships, environments, and key life transitions shape emotional patterns, coping strategies, and identity over time. My approach is grounded in the belief that development is ongoing, and that insight, support, and new experiences can foster meaningful change at any stage of life. I strive to create a collaborative and supportive space where clients can explore their histories, better understand themselves, and move toward healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
