My Path to Psychotherapy

My Path to Psychotherapy

Inspired by the deeply personal stories I encountered through my work as well as being informed by my own lived experience, I made the life-changing decision to shift careers and become a psychotherapist. Coming from a multicultural background and having lived through complex trauma and profound grief, I bring with me not only clinical training but also deep personal insight into the therapeutic space. I understand what it means to navigate life with emotional pain, identity struggles, and unresolved loss and I am interested in how culture, religion, and migration shape identity. I am committed to holding compassionate, culturally sensitive spaces for those on similar paths.

I also focus on supporting women’s mental health, particularly where it intersects with physical health conditions, chronic pain, reproductive issues, and the long-term psychological effects of abuse and neglect. I believe that mental health cannot be separated from the body or from our histories. As such, I work from a culturally-sensitive perspective and explore how societal and family obligations have an impact on the development of self and sense of belonging.
