    Biography

    What I Do
    My approach to caring for children and adolescents is centered on empathy, evidence-based practice, and a holistic understanding of each individual. I focus on creating a supportive environment where they feel heard and understood. Through thorough assessments and personalized treatment plans, I aim to address both symptoms and underlying issues, empowering them to overcome challenges and achieve long-term well-being.

    My clinical interests include psychological diagnostic assessment, psychotherapy for children and adolescents, and applied behavior analysis.

    Why I Love My Work
    I was motivated to go into health care because I am passionate about helping children achieve optimal psychological development. By addressing mental health issues early, I aim to foster resilience and long-term well-being, contributing to their overall growth and future happiness. Witnessing their progress and increased confidence is incredibly fulfilling and motivates me to continue my work.

    Getting to Know Me
    Outside of work, I love gourmet food, photography, and travel. Experiencing local cultures through their unique cuisine and capturing these diverse cultures in photos is one of my favorite things to do.
