APPROACHES AND TOOLS

At the core of my work, Buddhist psychology explores how we relate to our experiences. By identifying patterns that shape our emotions and thoughts, we can develop a more compassionate and balanced way of responding to life’s challenges.

The therapeutic relationship itself is a key part of healing. By building trust at your pace, we can explore relational patterns that may be causing distress and work towards creating healthier connections.

Existential therapy explores the deeper meaning behind experiences, choices, and even life’s uncertainties. It can help develop a stronger sense of self and purpose.

Using myths, archetypes (such as the warrior, trickster, or healer), and storytelling, this approach helps us break free from limiting thought patterns and see ourselves in a new light.

By tuning into bodily sensations, we can access emotions that may be difficult to express with words. This technique is especially useful when feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

This creative technique helps externalize emotions by working with physical objects to represent relationships, experiences, or inner conflicts. It can bring insight and emotional release.

Nature can be a powerful therapeutic ally. Whether through spending time outdoors, working with natural symbols, or exploring cycles in nature, eco-therapy helps connect our inner and outer worlds. I also use Bill Plotkin’s "Wild Mind" model, which offers a way to explore human experiences through nature’s wisdom.

Rooted in Buddhist psychology, this approach shifts the focus from your inner world to the significant people, places, or themes in your life. It can help create an objective perspective on emotional concerns.

Gestalt therapy looks at your experience as a whole rather than breaking it into separate issues. This approach can simplify complex emotions and often uses metaphor or symbolism to gain clarity.

This approach acknowledges that healing can extend beyond the personal and into the spiritual. Whether through traditional religious perspectives or personal, meaningful experiences, transpersonal therapy can offer profound insight.

Developed by Carl Rogers, this approach is based on acceptance, empathy, and non-judgment. I provide a safe space where you are fully accepted, no matter what you bring to therapy.

Using guided imagery, we can explore emotions and create new mental landscapes that bring clarity, comfort, and healing.

By physically acting out or stepping into a significant memory or scenario, we can gain clarity and process emotions in a deeper way.

Many of our emotional patterns stem from early experiences. Schema therapy helps identify and shift ingrained narratives—such as perfectionism or self-doubt—allowing for healthier ways of thinking and relating to yourself.
