Education
What you can expect from your first session:
As a clinical psychologist, I am very good listener, compassionate and can connect with my clients very well. I have excellent communication skills, am empathetic towards clients which makes them feel more valued. I help them deal complex mental health issues to bring change, learn practicing resilience and find their strengths to achieve a better quality of life.I believe in helping people change what they can and manage what they can't. I am here to encourage people in discovering and nurturing their character strengths, rather than channeling their efforts into correcting shortcomings. As a trained and experienced therapist, I will guide my clients in exploring their dreams, thoughts, ideas to cope creatively with their problems and difficulties. ""Always remember, your negative feelings and emotions won't last forever as I am here to help you in countering the negative.
