Now based in Canada, I continue this work as a Registered Psychotherapist, offering a therapeutic space that is culturally sensitive, ethical, and deeply compassionate.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness.
