Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression and wanting to reconnect with your sense of worth in a space that feels grounded and compassionate? I’ve spent the past 10 years working in mental health alongside individuals facing marginalization, including experiences of disability, substance use, and systemic barriers. These experiences shaped my belief that healing happens through genuine connection, where dignity, compassion, and respect are not just ideas—but something you can feel.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counseling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, and isolation by helping them reconnect with self-compassion and move toward a more meaningful, values-driven life.
My work is grounded in both professional and lived experience, allowing me to meet people with openness and understanding. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 30-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
