I value a trauma-informed approach to therapy and aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for people to share and explore their stories.

Given my experience, I appreciate the importance of being heard and encourage you to share your story in a way that is comfortable for you.

Being an academic researcher, I take an evidence-based approach to our sessions.

I look forward to our chats :).
