About me
I’m so glad you’re here, taking the step to seek support for yourself.
It takes courage and self-awareness to recognize when something isn’t working—when exhaustion, anxiety, or ongoing stress begins to interfere with daily life. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a meaningful way of caring for yourself.
Anxiety—both clinical and non-clinical—can become a significant barrier in our personal and professional lives. Over time, unmanaged stress can set in as the “new normal,” leaving us feeling tense, irritable, or disconnected. These patterns can start to feel like part of who we are. But change is possible.
In my practice, I take an integrative and holistic approach. This means I work with both cognitive tools—such as exploring thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors—and somatic support, because our nervous system lives in the body. Often, the body holds experiences and emotions that the mind is still trying to process. By engaging both mind and body, therapy can open the door to deeper understanding and lasting change.
A big part of this work involves shifting your relationship with anxiety. Instead of seeing it only as something to “get rid of,” we explore what it may be signaling, how it shows up in your body, and how to respond to it in ways that bring more choice, compassion, and flexibility.
With an international background, I also bring a culturally sensitive perspective to therapy. As a multilingual therapist, I especially enjoy supporting expats and people navigating life across cultures. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, career challenges, or adjusting to a new environment, you don’t have to go through it alone.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Book a free call today—we’ll find out together how I can best support you.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
In my work with clients experiencing anxiety, I go beyond cognitive approaches alone. My approach blends nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and body-based awareness to build true inner stability and flexibility—so you don’t just cope, you transform.
I take an integrative and holistic approach to anxiety and chronic stress, blending evidence-based methods to support lasting change. My work incorporates Mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Techniques, Emotions focused techniques, Psychoeducation, and a client-centered approach—ensuring that each session is tailored to your unique needs.
Prolonged stress and anxiety can often lead to emotional numbness or feeling overwhelmed—where it becomes difficult to connect with your emotions, make decisions, or feel fully present in your life. I support clients in gently navigating these states, helping them restore emotional clarity, reconnect with themselves, and regain a sense of balance and vitality.
I am dedicated to creating a warm, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space where you feel truly heard, valued, and supported—an environment where you can explore your experiences with care and where your unique background and story are fully honored.

Experience
Many of the clients I support are navigating anxiety connected to workplace pressure, fast-paced lifestyles, or the unique complexities of life as an expat.
My experience spans both organizational and individual levels—I've collaborated with companies to identify and reduce systemic stressors, while also working one-on-one with individuals facing personal, professional, and cross-cultural challenges.
In addition to general and social anxiety, I offer support for adjustment difficulties during major life transitions, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic stress overwhelm.
My approach is holistic, recognizing that anxiety is not only in our minds but also in our bodies. In addition to talk therapy, I offer diverse holistic programs such as "From Anxiety to Stability & Flexibility" and "Somatic Anxiety Support."
