I believe therapy isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about creating a space where we can make sense of your experiences together, with honesty, curiosity, and compassion.

My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself can be deeply healing. I work at a pace that feels safe and meaningful, encouraging reflection rather than rushing toward solutions.

I value transparency, client agency, and open feedback, and I try to create an affirming space where your lived experiences, identities, and strengths are respected as we work toward greater self-understanding and well-being.

My areas of expertise:

  • Anxiety & burnout

    Anxiety, stress, and burnout that sleep doesn’t touch.

  • Self-doubt & shame

    Self-doubt, shame, and the work of identity exploration.

  • Relationships & affirming care

    Relationship difficulties, and neurodiversity-affirming support for gender-diverse and LGBTQIA+ clients navigating intersecting marginalisations.
