Her own lived experience, combined with her academic and professional background, has provided her with rich insight into the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent clients across both public and private spheres.

She deeply values compassion, curiosity, and connection, inviting clients to bring their full selves into the room without judgement or pressure. She has experience supporting neurodivergent clients with masking, emotional regulation, relationships, and understanding the impact of social expectations on mental health.
