“In the midst of winter, I found within me an invincible summer.”
Albert Camus

About me 

As a psychologist with a background in cognitive-behavioral therapy, I strive to engage with clients in an open, respectful, and empathic manner. Together, we shape a process that fosters a deeper understanding of one’s experiences and behaviors, facilitates new orientation, and supports the pursuit of desired goals. Central to this work is the strengthening of personal resources and values..

In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with family and friends. I like to stay active and, to maintain balance, passionately practice various martial arts.
