In high-pressure hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong, many professionals quietly navigate the "space between"—where life as you knew it has ended, and the path forward is unclear. Whether you are facing relational stress, burnout, or the heavy secondary losses of a crisis, my practice offers a private Online Clinical Sanctuary.
I provide more than empathy, I offer a specialized toolkit. By integrating EMDR, CBT and EFT with dual certifications in Thanatology (ADEC) and Grief Therapy (Portland Institute), we work to "un-trap" the tension held in your body and mind. Together, we rebuild a durable sense of resilience and purpose.

I'm a US-trained clinical psychologist (UNC Chapel Hill PhD, Mayo Clinic fellowship) who specializes in ADHD across the lifespan, alongside anxiety, OCD, and mood concerns.
My expertise includes ADHD, OCD, anxiety and psychological assessments across the lifespan, plus therapy for anxiety, depression, behavioral difficulties, and adjustment to chronic illness. I use CBT, ACT, and behavioral interventions. Therapy with me tends to be practical and structured: but never rushed, and never reduced to a technique.

Hi there! I am glad that we are already meeting for the first time. You may be reading this while looking for the "right" therapist for yourself, your child, parent or your relationship. You may thinking that the troubles that you/ your loved one face are "strange" and "alien". These are understandable thoughts. However, you are never alone as the type of issues you/loved ones face are more commonly faced by others than we think. Regardless of their issues, all clients hope to be understood, to live meaningful lives, either by reducing or learning to live alongside their problems/symptoms.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, nervous, or stuck, you may not always know where to begin. Perhaps you are dealing with stress at work, difficult relationships, family tensions, self-doubt, or a major life transition. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling guilty, being hard on yourself, or repeating the same patterns even when you want things to change.

My clients are often thoughtful, capable, and high-functioning individuals who spend much of their lives putting others first or trying to get everything right. While they may appear to be coping on the outside, they often struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or may find themselves repeating unhelpful relationship patterns or questioning their self-worth. Often, these struggles make sense when understood in the context of their life experiences, rather than as signs that something is inherently wrong with them.

I believe that each one of us has an inbuilt potential to lead a happy life in all circumstances. But many times because of increased stress and tension in life (either due to workplace or family issues) we find it difficult to access that potential within and thus, we suffer from different health problems. My passion is to help individuals & couples come out of their problems & rediscover happiness in their life. From my personal experience of 8+ years, I can confidently say that taking help during the difficult times and using the psychological services can save an individual from many personal and professional problems.

I specialize in providing psychological services to children and adolescents. These include neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy. Assessments can be invaluable tools that provide diagnostic clarification, treatment recommendations, and the basis for academic accommodations. The therapeutic interventions I provide to young clients can be used to address a range of common challenges including, but not limited to emotional dysregulation and behavior problems. Based on the client, therapy may take various forms and could entail a talk or play-based approach. I regularly integrate parent or family sessions when appropriate.

You learned to eat fast perhaps because the table wasn't safe to linger at. Now you're done before anyone has started, at a table where nobody is rushing you.
Old rules outlast the rooms that made them. Externally you seem to cope fine, you're strong. Internally there's anxiety, low mood, or pain you carry quietly. Maybe you've tried asking AI, books, podcasts, or tried therapy previously but none of them stuck. My practice extends beyond simply addressing symptoms.
We explore patterns in relationships and emotions to shed light on recurring challenges, fostering deeper insight and meaningful, lasting change.

You have done the talking. Sessions, journals, insights — and you still feel stuck. That ceiling is real: words reach only part of the mind. What drives habit, mood, and reaction often sits beneath language, in the body and in memory. Music therapy works there. As a Registered Music Therapist in Singapore, I offer trauma-informed, culturally sensitive sessions using listening, singing, and improvisation — musical skill unnecessary. Music engages emotion and memory directly, shifting what years of talking has only described. The capacity to heal is already in you. Music is a way in.

“If I am human, then nothing human is alien to me… and I am human.”
Jason deeply resonates with the idea of a wounded healer. He believes that while suffering can be painful, it can also become a catalyst for growth, and that even our darkest experiences can offer unexpected sources of wisdom, resilience, and strength—if we allow them to. He sees every client as carrying a quiet hope that, somewhere beyond the confusion, despair, and negative self-talk, life can be different. When clients momentarily lose sight of that hope, he sees part of his role as holding onto it for them until they are ready to reclaim it for themselves.

How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
