Many of the people I work with feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. Some know exactly what’s going on and others just sense that things could feel better. We might explore anxiety, OCD, trauma, burnout, identity, relationship challenges, or something else entirely. I see individuals (16+) and people in relationships, including couples, and I offer affirming assessments for autism, AuDHD, and learning differences. At Lavender Psychology, you're welcome just as you are.
I'm a Clinical Psychologist offering inclusive, trauma-informed care that affirms LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent experiences. My practice is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I’ll meet you with warmth, and together we’ll work in a way that feels safe and respectful.
Reaching out can be hard, especially when things feel heavy or hard to name. If you're looking for a space where you can feel supported, heard, and gently guided, I’d be honoured to work with you. You're welcome just as you are. You don’t have to do it alone.

I work with clients who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others. In our sessions, we'll explore what's been happening and what you'd like to change. Together, we'll build a plan that fits you and moves at your pace. Many clients find more clarity, ease, and self-trust over time.
