With both my professional expertise and personal experiences of resilience, I am here to support your journey toward psychological richness. To ensure we're the right fit, we begin with a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

Let's collaborate to build resilience and lead a fulfilling, thriving life.
As an Acceptance and Commitment Therapist, I specialize in helping with a variety of psychological issues as anxiety, depression, BP, ADHD, BPD, burnout, and other life challenges. In our sessions, I use mindfulness, acceptance exercises, and metaphors to boost your psychological flexibility, guiding you towards a more fulfilling life.
