It can be difficult to move to a different country and keep our family relationships and mental health strong. Whether it be communication problems in a couple, parenting that is not working, or difficulty in finding your feet in a new place, it can be frustrating, challenging, and confusing to try to figure things out on your own. Whether you are in a relationship and are struggling to connect or are feeling hopeless or overwhelmed parenting in a new culture or simply feeling lonely, and anxious, we can work together to bring peace into your life.
In my therapy practice, I specialise in supporting couples, families, parents, and individuals to thrive in new communities. I take a culturally sensitive and collaborative approach to help you hold on to the values that are important to you from your homeland, and be able to let go of those values that are no longer serving you and your family.
I offer a safe place to learn new skills and move forward. My background as a pastor and psychotherapist, and my life experience as someone who has migrated with my family, contributes to my ability to support you. I invite you to connect in a 15 minutes consultation so you can get to know more about me and begin your journey to peace and confidence.

I work with clients who may be struggling with conflicts related to their relationships, family or lifestyle. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 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. I also focus on giving you very practical tools and coping skills to help you solve the problems you are facing that have brought you into therapy. Together we will find solutions.
