Meet Frank
I am a therapist passionate about empowering individuals to cultivate lives filled with meaning, resilience, and joy. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing inspiration from several evidence-based and humanistic frameworks. I am deeply influenced by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and navigating challenging relationships. I also incorporate the wisdom of Carl Jung, exploring the depths of the unconscious to foster self-discovery and individuation. Central to my work is the practice of self-compassion, which I believe is essential for healing and growth. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, develop coping strategies, and ultimately, live a more fulfilling life.
