Researcher and Writer.

Welcome to my world of collaborative exploration! I consider myself fortunate to engage in research alongside exceptional colleagues. The first part of my career was dedicated to understanding the experiences of suffering and exploring ways to guide individuals through it. Currently, my focus is on unraveling the intricate dynamics of resilience, belonging, and joy in human experiences.

Please see the projects that fill me with pride. Each one embodies a commitment to advancing our understanding of the human experience and how helpers can be equipped to navigate it. If you're intrigued by the prospect of collaboration, would like to access a complimentary copy of any of my research work, or wish to discuss potential synergies, please drop me a line. Let's explore together.
