About me

As a licensed psychiatrist from Addis Ababa, I bring years of experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), working with diverse clients on issues like trauma, anxiety, and depression. Trained in Ethiopia with fluency in English and Amharic, I tailor care to resonate with local and diaspora communities. Passionate about mental health advocacy, I engage in community initiatives to promote wellness and cultural understanding.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
PsychiatryRecommended for those who may need medical treatment or medication to manage mental health conditions along with therapy.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
My approach is client-centered and culturally responsive, blending psychodynamic understanding with IPT, CBT and TF-CBT to create a safe, collaborative space. I believe in healing power of empathic listening. I adapt interventions to align with spiritual and cultural contexts, helping clients address challenges through cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and goal-setting. Sessions are empathetic, structured, and flexible, empowering clients locally and abroad with tools for lasting change.
