Do you feel overwhelmed in life? Do you put others first, say yes when you want to say no, or keep quiet to avoid conflict.

I understand how difficult it can be to navigate through daily life while experiencing stress, anxiety, or other challenges, especially when you feel the need to appear okay on the surface. I believe in creating a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space where you can freely express yourself and feel heard. Together, we can explore these challenges and implement strategies to live your best life. As a Masters in Counselling student qualified to practice under supervision, I take a holistic approach to therapy by understanding clients as a whole rather than the symptoms they are experiencing.

Have you been feeling stuck in the same cycles of anxiety, low mood, or numbness... doing everything you can, yet still feeling unsettled? You’re not alone. And nothing is “wrong” with you. Change often begins when we gently acknowledge that hiding behind the “I’m okay” armor is no longer serving us. Root-cause therapy looks beneath symptoms to the unprocessed experiences your nervous system (mind and body) has been holding onto. By addressing these deeper layers, therapy helps loosen fear, self-doubt, and old wounds, so you can regain a sense of agency, feel more alive, and build deeper, safer connections in your life.

” I believe that our faith and/or spirituality play an important role in helping us find meaning and purpose while navigating loss, pain, and the struggles we face in life.
My third culture kid (TCK) upbringing nurtured in me an interest in cross-cultural dialogue and interfaith work, and I eventually became passionate about peacebuilding. I facilitated cross-cultural dialogue among university students from different countries and worked with unaccompanied refugee youth from various African countries. This has equipped me with the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds. Inner peace is essential for peaceful relationships with others, and I learned this after witnessing the trauma of the revolution and its aftermath.
