I’ve always been fascinated with how unique every individual is. It was riveting to me that put through a similar situation, no two people will come out with the same thoughts or experiences. Being a psychologist not only gave me the opportunity to explore these individual differences across people in depth, but also to understand them, celebrate them and use them to facilitate growth in myriad ways.
The opportunity to be able to witness and support people being their most vulnerable, authentic, courageous and resilient selves.
I hope they feel heard, seen and respected. Post the first session, I hope they feel like they were in a safe space, accepted for who they are and what they bring. Most of all, I wish they feel hopeful. Hopeful that this step is worth taking for themselves.
That it’s a journey worth taking. It will be fun, difficult, exhausting - all at once. But it will be transformative. There are no rules to the process and no ‘right way’. Take your time, begin when you’re ready, take a break if you wish - but continue with it. Also, please feel free to ask any and all questions that you might have.
I believe in establishing a collaborative relationship with the client where the client’s sense of agency & trust is upheld.
The strength in radical acceptance.
Striving to run an ethical and an inclusive practice. A consistent willingness to learn, unlearn and widen my perspectives and knowledge. Practicing through an intersectional lens.
Bake. Read Harry Potter over and over. Drool over sushi. Trouble my dog. Surf Pinterest endlessly. Sing off-key.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic & integrative in nature which means that the work done is personalised to suit the needs of each client with a focus on emotional depth, relational dynamics and past experiences. I am a trauma informed & a certified queer affirmative therapist & as such, have a therapeutic practice firmly rooted in person-centered, social justice & intersectional principles. I believe that all individuals have an inherent & innate potential for being a better version of themselves & actively use this belief to facilitate growth & progress in therapy.
I’m a queer affirmative practitioner. I strive to make my practice safe and inclusive by using inclusive language, participating in discussions led by community members & seeking supervisions and trainings regularly to educate myself of the history, struggles and lived realities of the community.
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it is the little voice at the end of the day that says, 'I'll try again tomorrow'.

We've developed a curation process over 7+ years, which allows us to carefully curate each inclusive and affirming mental health provider listed on our platform.
We have come a long way since we started in 2018, and have been adapting our curation process every day. From the time a therapist or support group reaches out to us, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the process.
We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.
We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.
If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
