I am a psychotherapist (qualifying) with a deep commitment to supporting diverse populations, including couples, parents of children with ASD, neurodiverse clients, ADHD, military families and transracial adoptees. With a degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counselling from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to my practice.

For the past 15 years, I have specialized in counselling parents of children on the autism spectrum. I am adept at helping parents navigate the complexities of raising a child with ASD, offering practical strategies and emotional support. As a neurodiverse practitioner and parent of a child with ASD, I provide a validating and empowering environment to explore identity and develop coping strategies that embrace neurodiversity.

Additionally, I have a rich background in supporting diverse and complex family dynamics through my work with military families, ADHD coaching, transracial adoptees and their families, and interracial families. I address issues of family estrangement and reconciliation, using a collaborative and empathetic approach to help families rebuild connections and strengthen relationships. I provide culturally competent care for individuals from dual cultures, ensuring that therapy is respectful and tailored to their unique backgrounds. I am dedicated to staying informed about the latest research and best practices to provide the highest quality of care.

Outside of work, I am an advocate of mental health awareness and have presented at national conferences on my work on counselling through a multicultural lens, particularly for transracial adoptees and their families. I enjoy hiking, warbling off-key on Karaoke nights, and pretending I can taste all the subtle notes in a glass of wine (it’s always oak and cherries). Most of all, I look forward to connecting with you and helping you on your therapeutic journey.
