I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

My mission as a therapist

I’m here to help you dive deep into the story of you, often starting where it all began, in those early childhood experiences that quietly shaped who you are today. Think of it as detective work for the soul, where we uncover old patterns, shine light on hidden wounds, and discover the strengths you may not even know you have.

My approach to therapy

I mix the best of both worlds: the rich depth of psychoanalytic exploration with modern, hands-on tools like DBT, EMDR, CBT, EFFT, and also incorporate eclectic modalities such as inner child work, shadow work, and even Empty Chair technique. Every session is a chance to explore, experiment, and transform; a space where healing feels alive, not stuck.

Because we’re more than just minds and behaviors, I love weaving in spirituality for a truly holistic approach, nurturing mind, heart, and soul. My goal? To create a safe, warm, and energizing space where you can laugh, reflect, cry, grow, and reconnect with the real, brilliant, resilient YOU.

Let’s connect and help you move forward!

Are you ready to start therapy?

That's fantastic! Let me commend you on this decision! I understand you want to work with someone you trust and feel comfortable with. That's why I warmly invite you to book a free initial consultation with me.

During this initial call, you will have the opportunity to ask your questions about  therapy, and I will tell you more about my approach and experience. If you'll feel like we're a good fit, we will discuss the next steps.

I will not pressure you to start therapy with me. I understand it's not an easy decision, and I want you to make it when you're ready. For now, let's just talk about how I can help you!

From here, you have two options. If you are ready to book an appointment, you can use our JaneApp account (click the button below). If you'd like to reach out before booking, please use the contact form to send us a message.
