For more than fifteen years, I have worked as a licensed counsellor supporting individuals, couples, and families through the emotional and psychological challenges that shape a life. My practice centres on anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, AuDHD, addiction recovery, relationship difficulties, and the major transitions that ask us to become someone new. These are not problems to be managed and set aside.
They are the places where real change tends to begin. Over those years I have trained deeply in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, trauma informed approaches, and EMDR. I draw on this range deliberately, so that the work fits the person in front of me rather than asking them to fit a single method. Much of my practice is with people navigating emotional stress, recurring relationship conflict, questions of identity, and the distinct and often misunderstood experience of living with ADHD, autism, AuDHD.
My professional path has taken me across several countries and alongside people from many cultural backgrounds, including individuals and families carrying the weight of trauma, migration, and profound life change. That work taught me something I return to in every session, which is that mental health is never separate from the relationships, histories, and environments a person lives within. Understanding the whole picture is where meaningful progress starts. Alongside my clinical practice, I remain active in research, teaching, and writing. I hold a PhD in Psychology and teach counselling psychology at the graduate level as an adjunct professor, work that keeps me close to both the science of how people change and the next generation of clinicians learning to help them. It means the care you receive is grounded not only in experience, but in a continued study of what actually helps people grow and heal.
I will be honest with you, including when something is harder to hear, because anything less would waste the trust you are placing in me. Therapy with me is warm but it is also direct and structured, built to move you forward rather than circle the same ground. People come to me when they want both depth and momentum, someone who can sit with the difficult things and also help them do something about them. If that is what you have been looking for, the first conversation is where we find out.
