As cliche as it sounds, I realise the lack of mental health support in my life and the lives of those around me and knew from a young age that helping people specifically in this direction was what I wanted to do. It felt like a privilege to hold space for people in their most vulnerable moments.

How different and unique every single client is while also sharing so many lived experiences. I’ve always been so curious as a person about other people’s stories, and my work as a therapist has given me an avenue to learn so much about my clients and the unique ways in which they experience the world.

A sense of safety and compassion. I hope my clients feel like they’re welcome to come as they are in this space, feel heard and seen. I hope they leave the session feeling a little lighter, just knowing that they’ve gotten a chance to unload what’s been on their mind for a while and have been able to do so without any judgement.

I’d like them to know that what they need and want is welcomed in the therapy space, and that it’s not a one way street. I’m willing to learn about what works for them from them, even when I don’t have all the answers. I’d also like them to know that therapy isn’t magical or a quick fix. It takes a lot of effort and can be a long journey. It can be an uncomfortable journey too, but the discomfort doesn’t need to be unbearable.

My relationship with my clients is friendly while maintaining professional boundaries. I try my best to emphasise that this process is collaborative, I’m here to work with my clients and listen to what they need and expect rather than tell them what they should or shouldn’t do. This means that from the first session onwards, I check in with clients about their comfort and readiness to disclose anything with me or take certain steps in therapy. I’m interested in learning more about who they are as a whole, not just what they might be struggling with.

How resilient we are as human beings and that this resilience lies not in being unimpacted by what life throws at us, but in the desire to cope with that impact, to keep trying to experience happiness and strive for the lives we want to even when things seem bleak at the moment. The ability to persevere and the desire to try has been something I’ve always admired in my clients.

I appreciate my ability to hold space for people no matter how different they are than me, even if their belief systems are drastically different than mine. I value my ability to hold space for my clients’ distress and guide them gently out of the fog. I strongly believe in considering the impact of culture on individual experiences and appreciate that I can work with this consideration, even if it’s different from my own.

In my free time I love playing video games for the most part. I love cozy games that help me relax and unwind. I also love watching movies or tv shows that follow the same theme of comfort content. I love creative outlets too, in the form of painting or colouring.

My approach to therapy is emotionally focused and trauma‑informed, which means we don’t just talk about thoughts and behaviours - we gently explore the feelings, memories, and past experiences that shape how you see yourself and relate to others today.
We might look at the different “parts” of you - like the part that criticises, the part that feels anxious, or the part that wants to hide - and help them feel heard and understood, rather than pushed away. We also pay attention to the younger parts of you that may still carry pain or fear from earlier life, offering them the care and safety they didn’t have back then.
Alongside this deeper work, I share practical tools to help you manage strong emotions, set healthier boundaries, and feel more balanced day‑to‑day. The goal isn’t just insight, but real, felt change: helping you connect with yourself more kindly, feel less stuck, and move through life with greater ease and self‑compassion.

Being LGBTQ+ affirmative in my practice means your identities, pronouns, relationships, and ways of being are respected, never questioned or pathologised. I welcome exploration of gender, sexuality, queerness, and how these intersect with culture, family, and trauma.

I prioritise ongoing learning by engaging with voices from queer communities, reflecting on my own biases and privileges, and seeking supervision that keeps me accountable. I see this not as a box to tick, but as a continual practice of listening, unlearning, and staying open to feedback, including yours.

My hope is to offer a space where you don’t have to explain why your identity matters, and where your full self feels seen, safe, and supported.
