Great to meet you!

My passion for the profession emanates from an intrinsic need to help those who are hurting medically as well as emotionally to help them transition difficult times with dignity. I started my career journey as a young nurse and indeed my medical background has a strong influence in my psychology practice.

My approach to therapy

I mostly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.

What you can expect from me

With CBT approach to psychotherapy, you will learn skills to examin how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences, and learn how to change your circumstances. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to restructure those challenging thoughts to change your emotions for the better.
