About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from ISPA (2006), a postgraduate degree in Psychological Coaching (2022), and training in various evidence-based psychotherapy techniques, including PBSP, EMDR, ET, and CBT. Currently, I am furthering my education in Integrative Psychotherapy at ISPA. One of my passions is helping people overcome the obstacles that life sometimes presents. I am a believer in the power of psychotherapy. My experience spans both the corporate world and clinical settings, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the pressures individuals face in different settings. Whether navigating the complexities of the workplace or dealing with personal issues, I bring a holistic approach to my practice.
