Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Inspired by the gesture of "akbay," my approach is one of warmth, trust, and understanding—I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I recognise and respect your unique experiences, so that you can be in therapy as you are. I practice with safety and inclusivity for all individuals, and committed to being a trauma-informed, culturally-responsive, LGBTQIA-friendly, gender-affirming, and neurodiversity-informed practitioner.

With experience and training, I provide evidence-based treatment and tailored support to empower you with the tools and understanding needed to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and resilience.

Please explore this website to find out what I do and how I can help with your therapeutic needs.
