My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and enriched by elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and grief and loss therapy when appropriate. I focus on helping clients build practical tools, emotional resilience, and long-term self-understanding so they can move forward with confidence and compassion.
I see clients as the experts in their own lives, and my role is to create a supportive, compassionate space for growth and self-empowerment. My integrative approach fosters emotional flexibility, self-acceptance, and resilience, while being mindful of the ways culture, identity, and the expatriate experience shape mental health.
Therapy is an active, supportive space where you set personal goals, explore challenges, and practice skills both in and between sessions. Together, we focus on building practical strategies for managing anxiety, perfectionism, stress, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and the unique pressures of life abroad. I aim to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered to apply these tools independently in your daily life.
I often picture a lotus deepening its roots through the mud and blooming above the surface, a reflection of the therapeutic journey: sometimes challenging, sometimes messy, but ultimately transformative and beautiful.
Above all, therapy with me is about connection, insight, and practical change. Together, we work toward not only feeling better, but building the tools, confidence, and perspective to navigate life with greater ease, resilience, and self-compassion long after therapy ends.
