About me
I am a mental health practitioner, clinical supervisor, educator and consultant
As an experienced international practitioner, I especially value the richness of individual’s and communities’ perceptions of mental health and wellbeing. I am particularly passionate about addressing the needs of young-middle aged adults, women and individuals holding marginalized identities, international populations and bi-cultural individuals.
The foundation of my work lies predominantly in relational and multicultural approaches. I believe that my relationship with another individual is central and fundamental to my capacity to influence meaningful change within them.
Each individual’s process of healing and transformation can look and feel different. Wherever you are in your journey, I am here to support that process which can sometimes feel uncomfortable and even painful. My goal is to collaborate with you as you gradually evaluate and re-evaluate your life, clarify your life choices and goals and be able to use your voice for your self-enhancement.
My theoretical approach includes person-centered, cognitive and mindfulness-based interventions such as acceptance and commitment therapy, developmental and attachment theory, techniques of which I employ within a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive framework.
