About me
Dear Reader,
I’m glad you’re here. I am an experienced psychologist in advanced psychotherapy training (CBT), working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
My practice is non-judgmental and warm space where we can work through life's challenges together. Having worked extensively with international clients, I deeply understand the unique pressures of living abroad—from cultural adaptation to navigating identity, relationships and isolation.
How I can support you:
- Relationships: Navigating healthy boundaries, communication, and connection.
- Mood & Anxiety: Managing depression, low energy, overthinking, and anxiety.
- Life Transitions & Expat Life: Finding stability through major moves, career shifts, and personal change.
- Youth & Family: Supporting Parents and adolescents through emotional and developmental challenges.
What matters most to me is that clients feel that our work together is meaningful and useful to them. Many choose to continue working with me and return regularly, which I see as one of the most valuable forms of feedback about my practice.

Approach
I base my work on evidence-based psychological methods, combined with empathy and a genuine understanding of each person’s individual experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
At the core of my practice is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which offers a clear, goal-oriented foundation. CBT helps us identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or stress.
I also incorporate Mindfulness-based techniques to help you develop greater present-moment awareness, regulate your nervous system, and cultivate self-compassion.
Member of PTTPB, part of the European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT).
This means that my CBT practice is grounded in evidence-based standards for professional training, ethical practice and continuing development established within the European CBT community.
Culturally Sensitive & Expat-Focused Space
Having worked extensively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, I place immense value on cultural sensitivity. I understand that your identity, values, and life context shape how you experience the world.
