About Me
Hello and welcome! I’m a registered clinical psychologist who believes in the power of connection, understanding, and a good dose of self-compassion. For me, therapy is about creating a space where you feel safe to show up exactly as you are—whether it’s messy moments, laughter, or tears. I’ve been there myself. As a teenager, I struggled with depression, and while it was tough and lonely at times, it taught me a lot about resilience and the importance of having someone who truly listens and gets it. That experience is part of what inspired me to do what I do today.
In our sessions, you can expect a balance of practical tools and a lot of kindness. I use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, along with compassion-focused techniques to nurture self-kindness and emotional resilience. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, set meaningful goals, and build strategies that work for your unique needs and experiences. Therapy isn’t about fixing you—you’re not broken. It’s about discovering what makes you unique and building a life that feels true to who you are.
Outside of therapy, I’m also a psychology lecturer who geeks out over topics like biopsychology. When I’m not teaching or in sessions, you’ll probably find me singing or volunteering as a choir teacher—music has always been my happy place. Whether it’s diving into the tough stuff, celebrating little victories, or just sharing a laugh, I’m here for it all. Let’s create a space where you can breathe, grow, and thrive—because you deserve that.
