Great to meet you!

As a health psychologist, my specialty is empowering individuals to understand and manage anxiety, depression and/or chronic pain through evidence-based strategies and compassionate care. I utilize techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness training. I integrate psychological support with practical lifestyle changes. My goal is to help clients transform their lives by developing a better and personalized understanding of their distress and learning to live more rewarding and fulfilling lives.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is holistic, using evidence-based techniques like CBT to manage mental disturbance. I emphasize the mind-body connection, incorporating pain neuroscience education (PNE) to empower clients. Practical lifestyle changes and building resilience are key focuses, along with ongoing support to maintain progress. This blend aims to foster resilience, promote healing, and facilitate lasting transformation in clients' lives.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to gain practical tools for managing depression, anxiety, and chronic pain through CBT and Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE). My sessions focus on helping clients understand the mind-body connection, challenging unhelpful thoughts, and making meaningful lifestyle changes. By combining psychological support with education, clients will establish greater resilience, a deeper understanding of themselves, and actionable steps to improve their quality of life.
