BECOMING THE WOMEN YOU ARE MEANT TO BE

Why I Started REVIVE MENTAL HEALTH

I founded Revive Mental Health to offer a dedicated space for expats navigating life abroad. Whether you moved overseas to pursue your own career or to support your partner’s, the challenges can be profound and often invisible.

Many of the women I work with arrive driven, successful, and full of ambition, only to find themselves suddenly questioning their identity and self-worth. Work permits are hard to secure, careers pause, and a once clear sense of purpose begins to fade. With too much time to think and too little validation, it’s easy to lose touch with the grounded, capable version of yourself you once knew.

These transitions often amplify other struggles: fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, perimenopause, loneliness, or simply adjusting to a new culture and climate. And while becoming a mother abroad may look exciting from the outside, it can be deeply overwhelming without family or trusted friends nearby, especially in those long, sleepless nights.

My Journey

Before becoming a mother and reorienting my life toward psychotherapy, I built a corporate career at a global firm in Germany while representing my country in full-contact Taekwondo sparring. After relocating to Singapore, I continued in another multinational until, after my IVF journey, I made the decision to step back and care for the first of my two young children.

These transitions reshaped me. I know what it feels like to question your identity, to crave connection and purpose, and to look for support that truly understands the depth of your experience.

I’ve always loved people’s stories, the real ones, and I care deeply about mental health. Helping others make sense of their inner world is more than my work; it's what I love doing.

My Approach

I believe every individual holds unique strength, shaped by their story, background, and goals. In our work together, I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can speak freely and be met with empathy, not expectations.

My work is integrative and evidence-based, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Hypnotherapy, and Positive Psychology. Each session is tailored to your needs, goals, and personal context.

I hold a Postgraduate & Professional Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling, a Diploma in Psychology and Psychotherapy as well as additional training in Perinatal Mental Health. I am a registered member of the International Council of Integrative Psychotherapists.

Together, we’ll co-create a therapeutic path that helps you reconnect with your values, build emotional resilience, and move forward with authenticity and confidence.

A few personal things (because therapists are human too)


Coffee is my lifeline. Truly. No therapeutic meaning there, just facts.

I’m obsessed with poetry, photography, painting and generally everything that is art. And I can get emotional over a really good sunset. But don’t be fooled, I fall asleep (or try to) to Jack Reacher or Mitch Rapp novels and I only watch movies with at least one criminal mastermind.

I’m still a bit competitive and a recovering perfectionist. Something I work on continuously (some days more than others).

I’m genuinely curious about women’s health, partly because it’s still so under-researched, and partly because I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure. That experience opened my eyes to symptoms I didn’t even know existed.

Nothing grounds me like the ocean. Give me crashing waves, a quiet beach, and I’ll come back a whole new woman.

And yes, memes are my love language. No one is safe.
