About My Clients

I work with adolescents and young adults in individual and group settings, supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I help those overwhelmed by stress, self-doubt, and relationship issues cultivate resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop coping strategies to achieve emotional well-being and healthier connections.

My Background and Approach

I became a therapist to support individuals in navigating their unique journeys and overcoming challenges. My passion is helping you find clarity and strength during tough times in a safe environment where you can explore your feelings. I believe everyone has the potential to grow and thrive, and I’m here to guide you through that process. Together, we’ll identify barriers holding you back and set meaningful goals tailored to your aspirations, developing practical strategies for the life you desire. I am dedicated to helping you build resilience and self-awareness, empowering you to face challenges with confidence. As we embark on this journey, I will celebrate your progress and encourage your growth, ultimately aiming to help you cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself for a more fulfilling life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the power of connection and the importance of mental health as a fundamental human right. I’m passionate about social justice and advocate for marginalized communities, particularly those affected by forced migration. My values center around empathy, respect, and collaboration, and I strive to create a safe, inclusive space for all clients. I’m committed to continuous learning and personal growth, regularly attending workshops and training in DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to empower clients to explore their stories, build resilience, and create a life that aligns with their values. Together, we can navigate challenges and work toward a brighter future.
