About Me

An experienced social worker & psychological counsellor.

I am a psychological counsellor working with immigrants, international students and young professionals navigating identity shifts, anxiety, low mood and depression, perfectionism, relationship challenges, stress and burnout. Having lived and worked across different countries and cultural contexts, I bring this lived understanding into my work with my clients.

In our sessions, we’ll explore the thoughts, patterns and expectations that may be shaping how you see yourself and the choices you make. Together, we’ll work towards establishing a clearer understanding of who you are and what you want, whilst finding ways to look after yourself optimally and find a path forward that feels meaningful to you.

I offer a free 15 minute intro call. Reach out — the first step is often the hardest one!
