It’s natural to feel unsteady when life shifts in ways we never imagined. Sometimes change comes fast. The challenge is to keep finding joy and living fully as we cope. You might not know exactly what’s wrong, only that something feels off. I support professionals facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, or life transitions—many repeating patterns from unmet childhood emotional needs. Being stuck is okay; the healing begins when we understand it and gently move toward thriving.
I work with both international and american clients. My practice reflects a balance of cultures, backgrounds, and shared human experiences.
I specialize in supporting international professionals, bicultural individuals, and expats navigating identity and cultural challenges. Using somatic techniques, Brainspotting, EMDR, and mindfulness meditation alongside talk therapy, I help clients strengthen mind-body connection and foster well-being and resilience amid complex life transitions.
