Life can sometimes feel like a puzzle, and seeking help is a courageous step. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults facing ADHD, OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and family challenges. By using evidence-based therapies such as CBT and DBT, as well as art and play therapy, I create a safe space for healing and growth. I offer a holistic approach to help you or your child thrive.
My background in law (LLB, MA, PhD) and mental health (MSc) gives me a holistic understanding of our complexities. I've also researched the impact of technology on young minds and shared my insights through publications.
I'm available for online sessions and also open sometimes slots for in-person sessions —feel free to inquire!
