ABOUT ME
Nice to meet you


I am a certified counselor running an independent practice, Counseling for Inner Joy since 2021. I work with adults as well as children through one-on-one counseling sessions. I also support couples therapy and family group sessions. My goal is to help you deal with their personal crises and become their best self: healthy, happy and capable.
The techniques I use frequently are, Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy based techniques. Depending on what is best suited, I also apply ACT, Imago or family systems therapy. One of my key strengths is helping clients to form a narrative for their life, understand their own stories and how it affects their decision-making.
I have worked with clients over concerns such as interpersonal issues, stress, pre-marital counseling as well as clinical issues like depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder.
Before turning to psychology, I spent 15 years in private industry working in Facilities, Administration and Human Resources. I am well-versed in corporate culture and offer consultations on coping with workplace issues and work-related stress.
I am dedicated to learning new methods and skills so that I can provide the best for you!

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.
