About

As a counselling psychologist offering LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, with a focus on anxiety, anger, depression, interpersonal challenges, and couples therapy, I work with individuals and couples across the gender and sexuality spectrum, holding space for the unique emotional, relational, and societal experiences that shape queer lives. My therapeutic approach is grounded in an attachment-based and humanistic lens, integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and eclectic methods. I view emotional distress not as a personal failing, but as an understandable response to lived experiences, such as minority stress, identity exploration, relational wounds, family dynamics, and the ongoing negotiation of safety, belonging, and authenticity.
