About me
I help people feel more in control of their lives, emotions, and relationships — especially in times of transition. My clients are often expats, immigrants, or people going through major life changes.
I offer clear structure, practical tools, and emotional support. Clients say they feel seen, safe, and even a bit lighter after our sessions.
I’ve lived in different countries and navigated my own life shifts, so I understand how disorienting and lonely change can feel — and how powerful it is to find your way back to yourself.

Approach
In a fast-changing world, every person matters — and every step toward awareness counts. I work with people who want to respond to life, not just react to it. We focus on developing emotional resilience, psychological flexibility, and a broader, kinder perspective on life.
I combine evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with mindfulness and reflective practices. I believe that mental health support should be accessible, practical, and integrated into daily life — not something you turn to only in crisis.
