A Passion Born from Love

My journey into psychology began not in a classroom, but in the quiet conversations with my mother, who always dreamed of pursuing psychology herself but never had the opportunity.

From a young age, I was fascinated by the human mind and the complexities of emotions. My mother's unfulfilled dream became my inspiration, and her wisdom about understanding people's hearts became the foundation of my approach to mental health. She taught me that healing begins with genuine compassion and deep listening.

Today, as I practice psychology, I carry her dreams forward, knowing that every person I help is a tribute to her belief in the power of understanding and empathy.

A Mother's Perspective

Being a mother of two remarkable young adults has enriched my understanding of human development and family dynamics in ways that textbooks never could. My son, now 27, is pursuing his passion in fintech in the UK, while my daughter, 20, is following in my footsteps with her postgraduate studies in clinical psychology.

Watching my children grow and pursue their dreams has taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, independence, and the delicate balance between guidance and freedom. These experiences as a mother have made me a more empathetic and effective psychologist, especially when working with families and young adults.

My Philosophy

Healing happens when we feel truly understood and supported."
