About
“I enjoy taking a curious, collaborative and flexible approach to therapy, and I believe the therapeutic relationship is an important part of creating meaningful change.”
I aim to create a space where people feel respected, understood and comfortable being themselves.

I tailor therapy to each person, drawing on CBT, ACT, DBT and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
I work across the lifespan with life transitions, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, neurodiversity, alcohol and other drug concerns, and psychological assessments, which I approach in a client-centred, strengths-based way.
I am originally from Peru and can also provide therapy in Spanish. Outside work I enjoy beach days, hiking, tennis, new recipes and a good record.
