About me
My career has allowed me to work across diverse settings, including military contexts, hospital environment, and educational setting, where I have honed my ability to provide tailored support for individuals facing unique challenges.

Throughout my career, I have built a strong foundation in assessment, intervention, and therapy, with a particular focus on resilience and mental well-being. My multidisciplinary experience has equipped me with the flexibility and expertise to adapt therapeutic approaches to the specific needs of my clients, ensuring that they receive the most effective support. I am passionate about promoting mental health and well-being, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment for those I work with.

Approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the cornerstone of successful therapy. I place great emphasis on building trust and understanding from the very first sessions, as I believe these early interactions are crucial for gaining insight into the individual’s unique needs, experiences, and perspectives. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I encourage clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and life stories at their own pace.
I primarily work from a narrative therapy perspective, which focuses on helping clients re-frame and transform the meanings they assign to their experiences. Through this approach, we explore how the stories individuals tell about themselves shape their identity and behavior. My goal is to help clients identify and challenge limiting narratives, allowing them to develop a more empowering and healthier sense of self. Together, we work to co-create a new narrative—one that reflects strength, resilience, and the capacity for growth, ultimately fostering a sense of meaning and well-being in their lives.
