My Story.
A lifelong journey of resilience and curiosity led to a deep passion for understanding the mind and healing trauma. With a neuroscience and clinical psychology background, my work bridges science and compassion to help others rewrite their narratives. From global research to hands-on therapy, each step has been dedicated to guiding individuals toward self-compassion and transformation. Through The Self Ally, I bring together evidence-based approaches and personal insight to support meaningful healing and growth.
