I support teens and adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, grief, stress, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. You may feel exhausted from masking, coping alone, overthinking, or trying to hold everything together possibly feeling misunderstood by family, friends, or others around you. Therapy offers a supportive space where you can feel genuinely heard, gain insight into your experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and reconnect with a greater sense of safety, confidence, and direction.

As a genderqueer, ace-spectrum, and neurodivergent person, I am passionate about supporting other members of my community. If you are neurodivergent, disabled or chronically ill, queer and/or trans, poly/non-monogamous, or engage in kink/BDSM community I would love to support you in therapy. I used my lived experience to bring understanding, empathy and patience to our work together. I welcome people with marginalised experiences and want to create a space where it is ok for you to be your unmasked self.

You want connection, clarity, and to feel like you're on the same team again. Maybe there's been a betrayal, or you’re stuck in cycles that feel impossible to shift. I work with all relationships and have experience supporting our neurodivergent, queer, and gender-diverse community to create real, lasting change. Most relationship issues, when safety is present, are repairable. You're not broken. With the right support, healing is possible, even after the hard stuff. We’ll start gently, right where you are. Ensuring you find the right fit for you is paramount, find an accredited therapist who has relationship therapy training.

I understand that one needs significant courage to take the first step towards therapy, and therefore I aim to provide a safe environment where you will feel comfortable to openly discuss any issues in a non-judgmental, warm, empathic, and supportive manner. We will explore your current difficulties and invite you to consider what you would like to be different. You will set the direction for our work and I will walk alongside you, as we identify and work on the strategies and actions that support you the best to build the life you want.

I am passionate about working with diversity. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I seek to create an authentic and safe space for people to bring their whole selves. I am passionate about people making changes in their lives through building shame resilience and practising radical self-acceptance and self-compassion. I support people reframing core beliefs that may have been profoundly misunderstood. I love supporting people through finding liberation from systems and constructs that have kept us from embracing who we are.

Welcome! Finding the right psychologist can be a daunting process- especially if you have experienced trauma in the past. I want to acknowledge how much courage it takes to even begin the search. I would describe myself as a passionate and dedicated clinical psychologist who brings warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into the therapy space. I work from a trauma-informed and attachment-based perspective. This means I deeply understand how our past experiences shape our current relationships, emotions, health, and sense of self.

My ideal client is ready for change. They’re insightful, proactive, and seeking clarity around patterns that no longer serve them—whether it’s anxiety, overthinking, or relationship challenges. They want practical strategies, not just talk, and are motivated to understand themselves more deeply. They’re not here to be rescued—they’re here to grow, to realign with their values, and to create a more grounded, authentic life.

I work best with individuals who are motivated for change but feel stuck. Often presenting with anxiety, stress, burnout, or life transitions. They come feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Many are high-functioning yet internally overwhelmed, seeking clarity, emotional regulation, and direction. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to make sense of what you’re experiencing and find a way forward.
