Therapeutic Approach
Community Engagement
Each person is unique and has unique goals and demands. Therefore, my approach is tailored through integrating evidence-based practices, namely CBT/DBT, with a deep understanding of your needs.
By fostering a safe space, you will be empowered to explore your emotions and develop effective coping strategies.
Beyond my private practice, I am actively involved in community initiatives and social media presence aimed at mental health awareness. I frequently conduct and/or participate in workshops, interviews, podcasts, and psychology events to provide valuable resources and support to those in need. My passion for educating others helps break down the stigma surrounding mental health issues, fostering a more informed and compassionate society.
