About My Clients

By making the decision to look your enemy in the eye, you have shown that you possess the strength and resolve to emerge stronger. My role as your therapist is to help you get there. Not by using big words or complicated processes! There is “no easy button.” In fact just the opposite - It happens with sharing the hurt, with empathy, respect, collaboration, and with walking the long path together. This is where experience teams up with empathy.

My Background and Approach

Every case has its own special needs and deserves a tailor-made approach. I have extensive experience working across different communities and continents with people having anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, trauma of all kinds. I delve deep into body image issues, bullying, infertility, perinatal/postpartum care, perimenopause/menopausal depression.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My goal is to help you create a change. To empower you to live a productive life and rewrite the toxic narrative that causes ongoing struggle, pain, and relational problems. I hope to make a positive difference in the lives of those who seek help. You bring the resolve. Let me bring the experience. Together we will emerge stronger.
