About me
I’m a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of international experience supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the emotional complexities of modern, mobile life. Having lived and worked across multiple countries, I understand firsthand the challenges of cultural transitions, identity shifts, and maintaining meaningful relationships across borders.
My work focuses on helping clients explore the deeper questions that often surface during times of change — Who am I now? What matters to me? How do I create connection and stability in a life that keeps moving? Whether you’re a student adjusting to a new country, a professional facing career stress, or part of an intercultural couple trying to find common ground, I offer a grounded, compassionate space to help you reconnect with your values and inner clarity.
I tailor therapy to each client’s unique background and emotional needs, blending evidence-based tools with deep listening and emotional insight. My approach is warm, collaborative, and always culturally sensitive — because your story deserves to be understood in the context of your full life, not just your symptoms.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, flexible, and deeply client-centered. I believe that meaningful change begins with meeting each person exactly where they are — emotionally, culturally, and practically — and working together to discover what feels safe, supportive, and effective for them.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, mindfulness-based strategies, and solution-focused therapy, always tailoring the tools to suit your personal needs and preferences. For those who feel more comfortable expressing themselves nonverbally, I also offer art therapy as a gentle and creative way to explore emotions and inner experiences. Additionally, I provide neurofeedback training and QEEG brain mapping as optional tools for clients seeking a more integrative mind-body approach to emotional regulation and mental clarity.
Whether you're seeking help for stress, anxiety, identity shifts, or relationship challenges, my priority is to create a space where you feel understood, empowered, and supported in moving toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
