We all experience suffering, and our suffering can be intensified by cultural structures, ideologies, and oppression. I have specific interest in neurodiversity and its impact on how one relates to the world and themselves. I value working with people who may feel marginalised or misunderstood and individuals struggling with feelings of low self-worth. I value working with the whole individual and their many facets. My hope for those I support is to suffer less and live more fully.
