Great to meet you!

I am a licensed psychologist abroad and a LMHC in the US. With more than 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with adults and young adults who are facing a variety of mental health challenges, including trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, work-related stress, and issues surrounding sexuality and self-esteem. I have experience working in hospitals, clinics, multitherapeutic institutions, schools and private practice.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard, understood, and supported. I am passionate about this work because I believe in the transformative power of therapy to help people lead healthier, more fulfilled lives. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they work through their challenges and build a future that aligns with their values and aspirations.

What you can expect from me

In our initial sessions, we will work together to identify your areas of concern, clarify your expectations, and set meaningful therapeutic goals. Drawing on my diverse cultural background, I emphasize empathy and believe that every individual is more than their symptoms—each person is unique and worthy of respect.
