Therapeutic Approach

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in psychoanalytic principles, which view symptoms not only as signs of distress but also as expressions of deeper, often unconscious emotional conflicts. While diagnoses are essential to understanding and treating suffering, I believe that true healing requires us to understand what the symptoms may be trying to communicate so that they become less necessary.

In this work, the objective is not only to alleviate distress but to uncover and address its roots. Through thoughtful, sustained exploration, we aim to identify patterns and inner barriers that may be limiting a person’s capacity to live fully and authentically. Therapy may take many forms depending on the needs of the individual, but always with the intention of enabling a deeper connection to one's true self—and finding new, more adaptive ways of facing challenges and engaging with life.

This process may take time, but goals are imperative. It can be the relief of unnecessary suffering, a greater freedom to live in alignment with one’s real desires, beliefs, and capacities, or an increased ability to form meaningful, fulfilling relationships. I see lasting change as a process that unfolds through the trust we share, honest reflection, and the sometimes hard but rewarding work of personal growth.
