I am currently accepting new clients.
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
Ever since I was young, I've felt a deep calling to make a difference in people’s lives, aiming to brighten their days and ease their burdens. This journey, filled with its own set of hurdles, has been incredibly rewarding. My path hasn’t been straightforward. I have been navigating through personal challenges of supporting family members through chronic illnesses, overcoming financial difficulties, and starting afresh in a new country. These experiences have given me a firsthand understanding of anxiety's complexities but also the resilience we can muster with the right support system. I vividly remember my very first session with my therapist—a pivotal moment that significantly shaped my life and fueled my passion for this field. It taught me the power of meaningful conversations and personalized strategies in unlocking paths to healing. Through listening, empathizing, and working together, I’ve learned that overcoming life’s challenges is not just a hope but an attainable reality.
