My Story

My journey to becoming a psychotherapist has been shaped by both my professional experiences and my personal life. As a mother of three wonderful children, I understand the joys, challenges, and constant balancing act that life can bring. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I practiced in the medical field as a doctor, where I learned the importance of compassion, trust, and caring for people during vulnerable moments. I have always been drawn to helping people. As a medical practitioner, I found myself listening to my patients' stories and realized that sometimes, being truly heard can be just as healing as any treatment. I believe that feeling heard, understood, and accepted has a profound impact on a person's well-being. This passion for supporting others and understanding their emotional experiences inspired me to pursue psychotherapy. Today, I have the privilege of supporting children, teens, adults, and families as they navigate life's challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, build resilience, and discover your strengths. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
