I am a counselor, teacher, speaker, entrepreneur, and mother. With over 15 years of experience, I have worked with clients from ages 5 to 65, helping them navigate life’s struggles with understanding, empathy, and proven counseling techniques. What truly matters in my work is the ability to connect with people on a deeper level, to understand their emotions, challenges, and personal stories. I bring not just professional expertise, but also real-life experience, allowing me to guide clients with both knowledge and genuine care. I specialize in helping children and adults, but my approach is adaptable to anyone seeking clarity, healing, and growth. My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
Working closely with families and educators to help the younger generation live a fulfilled and empowered life has shown me that many children face similar challenges. One of the biggest issues they struggle with is disempowerment. In today’s world, children may have access to advanced technology and material comfort, yet many lack a strong sense of self. They are not encouraged to take charge of their lives, make their own decisions, or develop personal responsibility. Too often, children grow up following the expectations of adults, without realizing the choices they have or the untapped potential within them.

In 2016, I volunteered to teach EQ (Emotional Intelligence) classes to children living in shelter homes. I believe EQ is a skill that can be learned, and it’s important to develop it from a young age. To meet the needs of these children, I designed a program centered on empowerment, helping them build confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness. To ensure the program’s sustainability, my husband and I founded a social enterprise, Havan Clothing.
My doctorate training emphasized an evidence-based and collaborative approach, ensuring that I use scientifically proven therapeutic methods to help my clients achieve their goals. Throughout my research journey, I have grown into a counselor who deeply values science-backed approaches and stays updated with the latest findings in the field. More importantly, this experience has strengthened my resilience and resourcefulness, equipping me to navigate challenges with confidence.
In my counseling, teaching, speaking, and writing, my goal is to empower people by creating meaningful connections. I believe that healing and growth come from within, and my role is to help uncover these inner strengths. By providing a safe, judgment-free space, I support my clients in discovering their own wisdom and ability to move forward.

In 2024, I was honored to receive the Gamuda Empowerment Award, recognizing my commitment to mental health advocacy and community impact. This award reflects the heart of my work—ensuring that mental health support is accessible to those who need it most.
Through my social enterprise, I’ve had the privilege of supporting over 150 shelter-home children and orphans, providing them with emotional resilience programs, counseling, and mentorship. Many of these children face deep emotional wounds, and my mission has been to create a safe space where they can heal, gain confidence, and rebuild their sense of self-worth.
Receiving this award is not just a personal achievement, but a reminder of the power of compassionate counseling and meaningful support. It fuels my dedication to helping more individuals navigate life’s challenges, whether through my counseling practice or future community-driven initiatives.
