While psychological therapy can address some deep and painful issues, it doesn't need to be all about pain and suffering. In fact, it is often more about understanding yourself and others differently. It is about learning how to cope with challenging situations such as relationship dissatisfaction, uncertainty over the future, transitioning from one situation to another, handling strong emotions like fear, loss, or anger, and healing pains from the past. These universal experiences can be overwhelming. I can help you navigate them more smoothly and set yourself up for success on the other side of it.

Do you feel stressed-out, burnout and overwhelmed because you overthink & avoid? Are you scared of confrontation & choose avoidance? Is the built-up anxiety, relationship, PTSD, low self-esteem, cultural, identity issues causing chaos for you? How about trusting yourself? Has it turned into self-doubt & self-sabotage? Perhaps you are so hard on yourself that it seems very difficult to even notice how you feel! I get it; I have walked that same hard road too. I understand the emotional turmoil, and for that reason, I hold a non-judgemental space for you to rebuild your authentic self-possessed life as you so deserve.

My primary goal is to establish a safe, secure, and non-judgemental environment for clients to share their story. I truly believe that everyone is doing the best they can, in each moment of life, given the environment they grew up in and the tools they have learned along the way.

There are likely times when you feel that you are running on empty and can’t catch your breath. When you feel like you’ve lost yourself and life is falling apart. Feeling stress, worry, disconnected and alone can all start to negatively impact our lives. You don't have to carry these feelings alone. My goal is to help you navigate these experiences and offer a space for new ideas. I want to help you begin to feel more like yourself, worry less and find balance in your life.

With an extensive trauma background, she specializes in working with people who have experienced abuse; or who struggle with self-esteem, anger management, communication and conflict resolution in their relationships.

Connecting with the right therapist can help you to process, understand and heal from these experiences.

I had been a medical doctor before I became a psychologist. I changed professions because I realized that our thoughts, feelings, and behavioural habits have a powerful effect on our health and happiness but their potential to aid healing is often neglected in medicine. I feel privileged to work with clients who are on the journey of recovery and self-growth during and after adversities. I work with clients who have sleep problems, fatigue, stress, low mood, depression, anxiety, panic, chronic worry, obsessive thinking, medical or non-medical trauma-related difficulties, post-concussion syndrome, medical illnesses, or chronic pain.

I believe our first instinct as human beings is to seek contact and comforting connection.
