As both a clinician and therapist, I extend my work beyond the therapy room through my blog and social media platforms, where I share evidence-based insights, reflections, and practical tools for couples and individuals. My online presence bridges psychology and culture—making relational healing accessible, modern, and grounded in real-world connection.​
Guided by authenticity, ethics, and relational integrity, I believe therapy should feel human, collaborative, and transformative.
