You are here because part of you — like a voice from within — is whispering, “now I need some help.”
You feel you need some support to ask the right questions, see things from an outside perspective, and help you figure things out. You are to understand so you can resolve it.
I work mainly with clients dealing with:
1- Emotion dysregulation — either you don’t really know how you feel inside, or when you do, emotions are so strong that they lead you to react in ways that don’t feel like you or who you want to be. 2- Burnout In professionals — chronically exhausted, mind never turning off, always processing beyond your control.

Do you ever feel caught between different expectations, cultures, or versions of yourself? You might feel overwhelmed, navigating anxiety, or trying to understand how past experiences are shaping who you are today. As someone from a multicultural & multilingual background who deeply values emotional understanding and connection, I understand how identity, family expectations, and life transitions can impact your sense of self. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I offer a compassionate space where you can explore these experiences openly.

I work with youth and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, cultural dynamics, and the effects of trauma, displacement, and marginalization. Drawing from evidence-based therapies — including narrative, cognitive-behavioural, and solution-focused approaches — I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. You are the expert of your life; my role is to support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and strengths.

You wake up every morning to go to work, but you come home exhausted, you lack energy to do the things you want to do, and you’re afraid to admit you’re unhappy in your career. You don’t understand why you feel dissatisfied, you doubt yourself, and wonder if there’s something wrong with you for feeling this way. It seems like no one else is bothered by the rat race and/ or mundane routines.

Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating or shameful. Whether you can't stop thinking about something, never feel good enough, or constantly compare yourself to others, I am here to help. If you are navigating dissociation or flashbacks, struggling with forming your identity or developing meaning in life, I can provide DBT & Trauma informed therapy. Or maybe you're looking for support with leaving a toxic job or relationship, trying to decrease the inner critic and perfectionism, or struggle with focusing and completing a task. Understanding our unconscious motivations and defence mechanisms can also be revealing character work.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in dating or relationships? You may feel anxious when relationships are uncertain, struggle with self-doubt, or notice yourself drawn to emotionally unavailable partners. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck in cycles that leave them disconnected, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled.
