ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Therapy is a powerful investment in yourself that offers a life-changing opportunity to achieve significant, sustainable, and meaningful growth. I am an insight oriented and mindfulness-based psychotherapist with a non-judgmental approach. I offer a therapeutic relationship built on collaboration, respect, accountability, and a safe environment conducive to personal growth. I will work with you to identify the root causes of challenges faced and help you find effective pathways to achieve individualized goals. During this process, I will help you develop a greater capacity to manage stress and an ability to stay in the present moment.​
​
I was educated in England and earned an advanced degree in California. My practice is based on personal insight, lived experience, and over fifteen years of professional clinical experience. All of which has afforded me the skills, therapeutic tools, and a unique and engaging therapeutic style to facilitate positive change. It is also through authenticity and a willingness to engage deeply significant growth is achieved. Therapy is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual in one-to-ones and in group therapy settings. It is both a privilege and genuinely inspiring to support individuals on their journey of personal growth and transformation. It is this that motivates me to achieve the best clinical and personal outcomes.
​
I have lived a life that often felt like navigating multiple worlds and carried the weight of multiple identities. I, therefore, have a deep desire to support those who have similar experiences and ongoing challenges from a culturally sensitive perspective. I will help individuals to honor their authentic self while also enhancing relationships, work experiences, and spirituality. Define and cement your own values, core beliefs, and identity with insight.

​
I am a lifelong learner, enthusiastic about nature, deeply caring about the relationships in my life, and passionate about soccer. Yes, I still play and I am not yet willing to disclose the premier league soccer team I grew up near to.
