Experience and approach:

I have been in private practice for twelve years and work online using zoom. Over time my work has increasingly become focused on how to navigate oppression and celebrating our many intersecting parts of self whilst also supporting our sense of otherness. I am dyslexic and work with many neurodivergent queers actively questioning the pathology paradigm that would seek to see us as 'disordered'. In fact we are all trying to balance the gifts and challenges we have in a violent world. My influences are philosophy, queer theory, history, neuroscience, nature, poetry, feminism, crip theory and spirituality in all its forms.
