You may find yourself caught in anxiety or patterns that keep repeating, no matter how much insight you already have. Perhaps this is tangled up with cross-cultural identity, or the pressure of holding it all together while feeling disconnected from yourself. You don’t just want relief — you want to understand where these patterns come from, with compassion and curiosity instead of judgement.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and identity-related struggles, using psychodynamic therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, and CBT/DBT tools. With nearly a decade of clinical experience across multiple countries, I focus on the “why” behind your patterns, not just symptom relief, to create lasting change.
Reaching out can feel like the hardest part, especially if you’re used to holding things together alone. You don’t need the right words to begin, just a willingness to be understood without judgement. If you’re ready to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, I’d be glad to help.

I draw on attachment-based, psychodynamic, somatic, and IFS approaches, alongside humanistic and multicultural lenses, integrating them to fit your specific needs. Sessions may explore early patterns, body sensations, inner "parts," or cultural context. Expect a collaborative, non-pathologizing space where your identity and history are central, building toward real self-understanding and change.
