I have been working as a psychologist delivering one-on-one therapy for over five years, and this is the work I truly love to do. My core values as a therapist are compassion, empathy, authenticity, and humanity. I draw from my own lived experience of being neurodivergent (AuDHD+), having recovered from a restrictive eating disorder, and struggling to find support that truly fit.

I have a particular interest in working with complex, intersecting issues (i.e., trauma, eating disorders, and neurodivergence) and minority groups (LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, First Nations). I have experience working in community settings including ATSI community health, and prior to becoming a psychologist I was enrolled in a PhD completing research work related to maternal incarceration.

My approach is above all, fully relational and person-centred, and I aim to be trauma-informed, culturally safe, neuroaffirming, and accessible.

(What do these things mean in practice? Some examples:

• Partners (or another support person) and babies are welcome in session

• You are free to bring activities into session that would let you feel more comfortable (knitting, crotchet, artwork)

• We can change the structure, duration (30 or 90 minute sessions also available), and location (nature therapy, telehealth) of our sessions.

• Bring food/drinks into session, and adjust things like the temperature, lighting, or background noise

• We will actively address social and systemic factors that contribute to and perpetuate trauma)
