About Me
With over 25 years of experience in the field of mental health, I bring a compassionate, culturally informed approach to therapy. My journey has taken me across seven different countries, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds and the unique individual and family challenges that come with relocation, adaptation, and identity. This global perspective enriches my practice and supports my commitment to providing empathetic, effective care through EMDR and other trauma-informed modalities.
