About me
I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and integrate self-compassion-focused therapy into my practice.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) specializes in helping individuals embrace difficult emotions and thoughts while committing to actions aligned with their values, fostering psychological flexibility.
Whether you're seeking support for neurodivergent challenges, personal growth, or life transitions, I offer a compassionate and structured space for you to improve quality of life.
As an expat myself, I understand the unique challenges of adjusting to new environments and cultures, and I support fellow expats in navigating these transitions with empathy and practical guidance.
