Work together with your unique strengths to heal, grow, connect and live well
Therapy for individuals navigating diverse experiences, whether due to Autism, ADHD, cultural background, or past trauma.
Tailored psychological support for adults with Autism or ADHD
Discovering Autism or ADHD later in life is an important step towards self-understanding and, in some cases, healing. Together, we can explore your identity, draw new insights from past experiences, and harness your strengths to reshape your life. Therapy may involve building healthy boundaries as an act of self-advocacy, breaking the cycle of burnout by balancing life demands with self-care, navigating the intricacies of masking, and enhancing resilience to manage rejection sensitivity.
Healing trauma through experiential therapy
Despite our best intentions to live in alignment with our values—whether they relate to relationships, health, or career—some of us often feel defeated in achieving our goals. It’s possible that unresolved past trauma and adversity have added an insurmountable weight, making it difficult to move forward. Instead of using talking therapy to help you think your way out of trauma, I employ empirically-supported, experiential approaches help you move beyond your emotional pain and get unstuck, addressing trauma directly and effectively.
Inclusive therapy for ethnic minorities
For individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds, seeking therapy can present additional challenges. We may worry about being fully and accurately understood , as our struggles are often overlaid with cultural nuances. Concerns also arise about whether the support provided can resonate with our cultural narratives. Here, you story will be sensitively responded to. I am committed to working closely with you to adapt my therapeutic approaches to better reflect your worldview and cultural identity.

In my therapy sessions, you'll find a warm, down-to-earth approach, coupled with a keen ability to listen deeply and sensitively. My primary goal is to help individuals harness their internal resources and also develop practical tools to navigate psychosocial challenges and enhance well-being.
