ABOUT ME
I am a trauma informed, queer affirmative counselling psychologist and psychotherapist. I am trained to work with teens, adults and couples going through a wide range of psychological concerns and needs. I understand therapy as a relational process, that works on building a safe and explorative bond to work on the complexities presented by the client(s). By creating a shame free, explorative space, I hope to help my client(s) find the courage to start doing the same for themselves. I envision to help you build a mental health toolkit that makes sense to you, to help yourself even after the therapy process has ended.

About : About Me
THERAPEUTIC ORIENTATION
I am drawn to the trauma informed, social justice and queer affirmative lenses. These are the lenses I wear in and out of the therapy room, and would even say are core ideologies of mine. Any therapeutic orientation, as long as it fits the bill of all the above lenses, I am happy to explore and try out. When it comes to techniques, I am drawn to using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and IFS Parts work. I also use EFT by Sue Johnson (Emotionally focussed therapy) while working with couples.
