Experience
4+ years in Psychologist
In my sessions, I integrate psychotherapy and psychoeducation, with a particular focus on negotiation as an essential life skill. A significant part of my clinical practice involves complex relationship dynamics, particularly narcissism and associated forms of psychological abuse, including manipulation, coercive control, emotional invalidation and gaslighting. These experiences can leave you questioning your boundaries, your choices and even your sense of identity.

Working with individuals and couples internationally, across diverse cultural, social and personal backgrounds, I support clients through a range of interpersonal challenges and major life transitions, including divorce, family dynamics, parenting, career change, expatriate transitions, burnout, emotional exhaustion, crisis and trauma.

I believe that understanding what shapes us creates the possibility of choosing how we respond, rather than remaining governed by patterns that no longer serve us.

As a Psychology Instructor, I provide education to parents, teachers and mental health professionals on topics including identity development, self-esteem, positive psychology, child and adolescent psychology, bullying, personality models and related areas.

I do not believe that therapists hold all the answers. From a systemic perspective, our role is to ask the right questions that help you discover answers that make sense within your own world. Becoming a mother at 24 taught me that growth is rarely linear and that every step forward matters.

What I can promise you is this: I will listen, support you, and challenge you when needed. I will not sugarcoat things, but I will be beside you with compassion as you step into the discomfort that can lead to meaningful change.
Approach I practice from a systemic perspective, understanding psychological difficulties in relation to the social, cultural and interpersonal contexts in which they develop. Through guided inquiry, including Socratic questioning, exploration of meaning and identification of recurring dynamics, we examine how thoughts, emotions and behaviours interact and what sustains them.

An attachment-informed approach helps you recognise your attachment style and understand how it shapes your expectations of intimacy, emotional responses and behaviour across different relationships. These patterns may be expressed differently with romantic partners, parents, friends or colleagues.

The therapeutic relationship itself is an integral part of our work. I do not position myself as a detached observer. Rather, I actively participate in the therapeutic system, using the interaction between us as a source of clinical insight.

I believe that the way we understand our experiences shapes the possibilities we see for ourselves. Therapy can help us revisit established narratives, develop new meanings and create greater freedom in how we respond to the present and the future. In this sense, I believe it is never too late to create a good childhood. My aim is to foster self-awareness, clarity, self-compassion, resilience and agency.

Like Virgil guiding Dante through the Inferno, I see my role as a therapist as accompanying you through difficult territory, offering perspective and direction while respecting your autonomy.

I engage in ongoing personal therapy and professional supervision as part of my commitment to ethical clinical practice.
