Nice to meet you
ABOUT ME
My initial interest in psychotherapy started early on in high school when I discovered the world of psychology. Fast-forward a few years and I was picking cognitive behavioral therapy as my major at university. I find that psychotherapy has such a profound and positive impact on the psyche of any individual.
In my work, I like to place emphasis on self-reliance and self-discovery, meaning that I prefer to take the role of a facilitator or a mentor, rather than being the one with the answers. My methodology follows the current research in the field overall, and I take care of keeping on top of all new developments in the field.
My methods
EXPERIENCE
Behavior therapy
In behavior therapy, the main focus is on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behaviors.
Psychoanalysis
In psychoanalysis, we focus on changing problematic behaviors by understanding the unconscious meanings and motivations behind them.
Cognitive therapy
In cognitive therapy, the focus is on what people think rather than what they do.
Humanistic therapy
In humanistic therapy, the main focus is on a person's capacity to make rational choices and develop.
