About Me

My journey in the field of psychology has been driven by a profound desire to understand and improve the mental well-being of individuals, particularly older adults.

My educational background includes rigorous training and qualifications in both neuropsychology and geropsychology. This dual specialization equips me with a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between cognitive function and emotional health in the aging population.

In my practice, I take a holistic and compassionate approach to help individuals navigate the cognitive challenges that can arise with aging. Whether it's conducting detailed neuropsychological assessments to pinpoint cognitive strengths and areas needing support or offering therapeutic interventions to enhance emotional resilience, I am dedicated to promoting the overall mental health of older adults.

Beyond my clinical work, I actively contribute to the advancement of these fields through ongoing research endeavors. My commitment to staying at the forefront of psychological research ensures that I can provide the best possible care and insights to my patients and the broader community.
