Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“An experienced and compassionate clinical psychologist specializing in psychiatry for all ages.”

About Me

I am an experienced and compassionate clinical psychologist, dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages. My work involves understanding complex mental health needs, often those associated with psychiatric conditions. I offer a calm, thoughtful space. Together, we can explore your concerns and develop practical strategies for daily life. Whether seeking clarity for yourself or a family member, my aim is to provide tailored support. This helps you navigate life's challenges with greater ease.

Approach

Working across the lifespan shapes how I approach each session: I listen for patterns, pace interventions to what feels manageable, and ajust communication to age and culture. In Saint-Estève or online, I offer sessions in English, French, Hindi/Urdu, Malay-Indonesian or Tamil, using clear prompts, brief goal-focused tasks and, when helpful, playful or family-based techniques to support learning and daily routines. Between sessions I set small, measurable steps and check in on progress. People facing complex psychiatric or relational challenges often find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
