I work with adolescents (particularly girls aged 12-18), young people, women, people who are studying or working in creative fields (music, visual arts, dance), and the LGBTQIA+ community to implement tools & strategies to improve their lives & relationships in a supportive, empowering environment.
I apply an integrative approach of evidence-based interventions including CBT, ACT, EFT, NT and SFT. I have a special interest in Mindfulness, Music-Assisted Therapy, Animal-Assisted Therapy, Feminist Psychology and working with girls and women. I work with many adults seeking ADHD & Autism Assessment & coaching.
I am a Neuroaffirming Psychologist & apply a warm, holistic, strengths-based and tailored approach to help individuals adapt to life's challenges and achieve their goals. I enjoy collaborating with my clients on identifying problems and creating integrative solutions to suit their lifestyle and needs. I also focus on assessment for ADHD & Autism (ASD).
I understand that reaching out for support is a big, intimidating step. I aim to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgemental space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we can explore what has been challenging for you, build upon your strengths & work towards meaningful and practical ways to support your wellbeing.
