About Me   About Me
Currently, I am a PhD student in Clnical Psychology. The two primary qualities that have guided me through my personal, academic, and professional life are my analytic nature and sensitivity towards the
needs of others. These traits underpin my curiosity to identify parallels
and discrepancies in the health and psychological functioning of
individuals from various cultures and backgrounds. It is these two
characteristics that drive me towards achieving my goal of providing aid
to persons facing adversity both domestically and internationally.

My volunteer and professional work in homeless shelters, rehabilitation
centers, and hospitals has deepened my awareness of the dichotomy that
exists between my own life and those of others. Pursuing my Ph.D. in
Clinical Psychology allows me to gain theoretical knowledge about the
psychological functioning of human beings and practical experience in
helping individuals overcome hardship.

My current research project deals with the development of interventions
for children who have experienced sexual abuse. It is dedicated to
bridging the gap between theory and clinical practice and to increasing
the coping ability of these individuals. Additionally, I provide
individual and group counselling to clients dealing with psychopathology
or hardship. My doctoral dissertation involves the development and
implementation of efficacious treatment programs that will benefit
children who have been sexually abused.
