Hi, I’m Lara (she/her), a registered psychologist and proud queer woman of trans experience, dedicated to supporting individuals across diverse genders, sexualities, and neurotypes. With lived experience within kink, queer, and poly/RA communities, I bring a deeply affirming, intersectional lens to my practice, understanding firsthand the impact of stigma, marginalisation, and systemic barriers on mental health. I am committed to providing trauma-informed, client-led, strengths-based care that celebrates neurodiversity and fosters authentic self-expression.
In my practice, I work with a broad range of concerns, including gender identity and dysphoria, mood and anxiety disorders, neurodivergence (ADHD and Autism), self-esteem, relationship dynamics, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and navigating complex life transitions. My approach is person-centered and evidence-based, tailored to each individuals journey.
I believe that healing happens through connection, and that every person has the inherent capacity to grow, adapt, and thrive. My role is to walk alongside you, holding space for your story and empowering you to reclaim your narrative and live as your most authentic self.
