About the Coach
I am a relationship and life coach who has a no-frills, evidence-based approach to coaching.
Aside from my coaching work, I am also a psychosocial support specialist in training and a research associate studying mental health programs. My different roles alongside my 8 years of education in psychology allow me to see, understand, and appreciate the change process from different standpoints — what works in effectively achieving goals (the coach's perspective), what works in improving mental health and well-being (the therapist's perspective), and what works in paving ways for positive changes at the systems and organizational level (the perspective of a researcher assessing mental health programs).
I advocate for sustainable and meaningful change. Given my psychology education and training, I utilize therapeutic approaches in my coaching work. I collaborate with clients on working towards their goals using methods from both cognitive-behavioral and existential perspectives.
I help clients grapple with problems ranging from breakups, marital conflicts, and dating, to complicated problems with living and mental health. My present clientele comprises individuals aiming to improve their lives by working on personal goals, individuals and couples seeking relationship support, as well as individuals in the university context.
My coaching work focuses on meeting specific goals and is not meant to be seen as mental health care.
While coaching is a good supplement to improve your well-being, it is not therapy and I am not yet a licensed mental health professional.
