I work with couples, families, adults, parents and adolescents in a calm space outside of everyday pressures. People often come to me because their relationships are triggering emotional pain and they feel lost. Therapy is about finding new ways to think and relate to your problems and act accordingly. Change can come about when you become less reactive and get more thoughtful. With the assistance of a neutral person (therapist) you can grow yourself and find ways to manage what previously felt impossible to tolerate in both yourself and your relationships.

My greatest satisfaction is working with clients to help them transcend the issues and experiences that hold them back from having the lives they want. Embarking on psychotherapy should be one of the most meaningful experiences a person can have. Accompanying another human being on that path is the most deeply rewarding aspect of my work.

You may be navigating a difficult life transition, managing a complex personal history, or seeking a truly affirmative space within the LGBTQIA+ community. Many of my clients feel "stuck" in cycles of persistent stress, relationship conflict, or emotional exhaustion and want more than just a listener; they want a clear strategy for change. Your goal is to move past the mental fog to regain a sense of purpose and connection. You need a professional who understands that your well-being is tied to your values and that you deserve a life where you feel in control, rather than just reacting to the next challenge.

Hi there, I am a psychologist practicing in Surry Hills, Sydney. I typically see adolescent to adult clients who benefit from a second human to support them through life's difficulties. For example, people whose daily lives are impacted by mood disturbances, such as when experiencing anxiety and depression, or people undergoing life stressors such as when working through major life transitions or shifts and difficulties in their relationships. And so much more; scroll below for a range of presentations that I have experience working with!

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and others? You could be feeling depressed, maybe you suffer from anxiety. You might feel overwhelmed by your emotions at times. Sadness. Anger. Confusion. Sometimes they all mix together into one big negative feeling that threatens to overtake you. Or, maybe you just feel numb–you go about your life… like you are living in a daze not knowing what you feel or what you want. Maybe you feel simply just not good enough.

Life can be perplexing at times. Psychotherapy can help. It firstly involves meeting together to understand your current experience and to foster a relationship of safety. We can then work respectfully to help you find fresh and empowering responses to the patterns and relationships that are causing stress and distress. I draw on evidence-based approaches - developmental psychology (ANZAP), mindfulness training (MBSR and MiCBT) and Internal Family Systems Therapy. These approaches harness present moment awareness and exploration to build a more compassionate and empowering relationship with yourself.

My role is to listen, to understand and to identify what it is that you seek help with. Our work will be about building an understanding of what is going on internally and externally for you, in particular, the things about yourself that you may not be aware of. As we gain this understanding of you, it becomes easier for you and I to make sense of what is happening within you, why you act and feel a particular way in certain situations and relationships. By understanding and acting on these things, you will be able to bring about change in your life.

Many professionals and people in high-demand roles appear to be coping well, yet privately experience anxiety, burnout, or a persistent sense that something isn’t quite right. I work with adults navigating sustained pressure, unrelenting standards, and complex responsibilities, supporting greater clarity, emotional regulation, and more sustainable ways of working and living. My approach is calm, structured, and practical, helping clients think more clearly under pressure and respond rather than react in challenging situations.

Life can feel overwhelming when uncertainty, stress, or relationship challenges pile up. You might feel stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of your next step, and looking for clarity and calm to regain control and balance in your life. You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out—sometimes a safe space to talk things through can help you find perspective, feel lighter, and move forward.
