This suits the introvert and neurodivergent person.
You’re the one who’s always been “too sensitive,” “too deep,” or “too much.” You’ve carried everyone else’s emotions while quietly neglecting your own. Now you feel tired, unseen, and ready for change.
You want to heal the wounds that keep replaying — the trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt that’s dimmed your light. You crave peace, authenticity, and real connection — not quick fixes, but lasting healing that feels like coming home to yourself.
Deep down, you just want to feel safe in your own skin again — calm, grounded, and whole.

I love working with adults who are going through change or are feeling a bit stuck—whether that’s because of life transitions, health issues, identity questions, trauma, or the impact of discrimination. You might be feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure about what’s next.
You don’t need to have a clear direction —just a sense that you want something to shift. Maybe you’re looking to understand yourself better, make sense of what you’ve been through, or find steadier ground. Therapy with me isn’t about having to “fix” yourself. It’s a space to reflect, feel supported, and explore what matters to you—at your own pace.

My approach is contemplative and neuro-affirming, attentive to the particular textures of perception, imagination, and thought that shape each person’s encounter with reality. Many contemplative souls feel out of rhythm with the accelerated pace and instrumental logic of the present age. To live sensitively is to live vulnerably: to perceive what others overlook, to register dissonance where others adapt. Yet this very sensitivity often bears the tension of existing within a world increasingly enframed by the machine; where what cannot be measured or monetised is easily marginalised.

I'm queer and neurodivergent and navigating this world just like you!
I am fascinated by how the brain and body connect and how our body communicates to us about the past and present through physical sensations. Through talk, creative, and play based therapies, I invite people to connect with their bodies to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, release tension, and learn new skills.

Autism Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
