For whom I can be helpful

We welcome adults and teenagers for individual and group sessions.

Individual Therapy
for adults and teenagers

I offer psychological consultations and, if necessary, psychotherapy for adults and teenagers. Recognizing that like fingerprints, no two people are alike, your personality is unique. Therefore, I address the interconnected intellectual, emotional, and creative dimensions of your individual personality. My holistic approach uses a combination of talk therapy and art therapy to help you restore a healthy balance in your life.

Group Therapy/Family counseling

Conversational Group therapy is an effective and powerful approach to both treating stress-related conditions and finding solutions to underlying life problems. Not only will you get professional advice from an experienced specialist, you will also benefit from experiences and insight of other members of the group. A unique family-like atmosphere evolves in a group that makes sessions appealing and comforting for the participants.

Art Therapy

Art helps people express hidden emotions; reduces stress, fear, and anxiety; and provides a sense of freedom. Many art therapists also believe that the act of creation positively influences brain wave patterns and the chemicals released by the brain. Art therapy participants do not need to be good at art. Art is simply used as a medium for confronting difficult emotions and to help with awareness and self-development.
