Nice to meet you!

I was inspired to pursue a career in mental health by my mother, a dedicated psychiatric nurse. This passion led me to earn both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Psychology and Counseling from the Royal University of Phnom Penh.

Following my bachelor's degree, I spent a year in Thailand working at the Ministry of Public Health, Psychology Department, gaining valuable experience in mental health services. Upon returning to Cambodia, I worked as a school psychologist for a well-known NGO before joining two of the country’s leading Western psychology clinics as a psychologist. With 13 years of professional experience, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of psychotherapy. Driven by a commitment to making mental health services more accessible for the modern Khmer generation, I established my own clinic to provide compassionate and evidence-based care.

In my practice, I emphasize self-reliance and self-discovery, guiding clients as a facilitator and mentor rather than simply providing answers. My approach is grounded in evidence-based methods, and I remain dedicated to continuous professional development, ensuring that my work reflects the latest advancements in psychological research.
