I am an Assistant Psychologist at Family Futures, with a particular interest in neurodevelopment and child and adolescent mental health.

Before joining Family Futures, I worked within a multidisciplinary neurodevelopmental service, supporting children, young people and their families. My work included contributing to autism and ADHD assessments, administering and scoring psychometric measures, conducting developmental and caregiver interviews, and providing therapeutic support to children and young people.

I completed my MSc in Clinical Neurodevelopmental Sciences at King’s College London, where my research focused on the co-occurrence of autism and epilepsy. At Family Futures, I am looking forward to building on my experience and developing my understanding of developmental trauma and attachment.
