About Me

As a Registered Clinical Psychologist with a PhD, I offer comprehensive, evidence-based support, deeply rooted in psychological science.

We can develop practical strategies together, building lasting resilience. My broad, well-rounded training and dual UK/US perspective make me well-suited to guide you.
