With a background in counselling, service development, community project management, qualitative research, and nearly a decade of supporting young people and their families therapeutically, I’m excited to now be training as a clinical psychologist. I hope to build on my skills as a scientist-practitioner, bringing a heart-centred, relationship-focused, and neurodiversity-affirming approach grounded in sensitive communication, flexibility, and integrative practice to my clinical work.
I’m interested in using qualitative and participatory research methods to co-design creative, culturally responsive, and neurodiversity-affirming mental health interventions. I’m also keen to further explore how psychological interventions can better meet the needs of underrepresented and neurodivergent individuals, and how different people understand and experience self-compassion.
Across all aspects of my work, I aim to create spaces where people feel heard, respected, and empowered to shape the support that works best for them.
