Dr. Sharma knows the expat journey intimately — she has lived it herself. Her approach is culturally fluent, warm, and pragmatic. She understands the disorientation of building a life in a new country, the loneliness that can hide behind a polished LinkedIn profile, and the grief of saying goodbye every few years. She uses EMDR to process the accumulated losses and transitions that expats often dismiss as "just part of the lifestyle," while ACT helps clients build a life of meaning wherever they are. Her clients span over 30 nationalities.
She offers in-person sessions in Orchard Road and telehealth across Singapore.
