Hi there, I'm Marina - a registered psychologist and mum of two. I have availability to welcome new clients now with limited wait times. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious, or stuck in a season of transition. I also work with many women who identify as an ADHDer and/or Autistic, often late diagnosed and high masking. I also support those curious about this. My approach is warm, neuro-affirming, and grounded in evidence, with plenty of space to slow things down and make sense of what’s been feeling heavy. I can support you to navigate a way forward aligned with your own values, time, energy and purpose.

Many of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful, and exhausted from holding it together for a long time. They live with anxiety, grief, the long aftermath of trauma, or the quiet disconnection that comes from years of carrying more than felt sustainable. Couples come looking for somewhere to put down the weight of recurring conflict, distance, or ruptures that have not healed on their own. Many have already had therapy that did not quite reach them. They want a practitioner whose understanding of what they are carrying does not stop at the textbook.

Navigating the world as a neurodivergent person can be incredibly challenging, especially without adequate support. If you're autistic, have ADHD, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, or are a trauma survivor, you know the unique hurdles that come with higher rates of trauma and PTSD. Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing sensory differences, executive functioning struggles, and the exhausting work of masking.
