I am a neurodiverse therapist, with ADHD, second-generation immigrant, none binary person of color. My role is to offer a space where every part of you—your neurotype, your culture, your queerness, your heritage—is not only welcomed but fundamentally understood.
My work is centered on healing the trauma of childhood, addressing the imprints left by experiences such as emotional neglect, abuse, parental conflict, and family separation and we look at how these experiences inform the way we relate today. I have particular expertise working with clients who, as children, took on caring roles.
I have a particular interest and focus in working with Dissociative Disorders. I understand dissociation not as a flaw, but as a profound and ingenious survival strategy of the mind in response to overwhelming trauma. I recognise how the intersections of your race, gender, sexuality, disability, neurotype and immigration history inform trauma and healing.
I integrate psychoanalytic thinking, which focuses on the unconscious stories and desires embedded in our language. This is especially powerful in addressing dissociation and trauma, as I am passionately interested in the patterns of your speech—the fragments, the jumps, the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and the gaps between.
