My ideal clients are adults who are seeking more than just symptom relief, they're wanting to understand themselves more deeply and live with greater clarity, connection, and self-trust. I have a particular focus on women's mental health and midlife transitions, including perimenopause, an area I'm genuinely passionate about and where I'm a member of the Australasian Menopause Society. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware people who may feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, or disconnected from their sense of self. They're often ready for change, even if they're not yet sure what that looks like.

Psychologist, PsyBA General

I provide person-centered, evidence-based psychological treatments and counselling to clients from all walks of life. Clients often request short to medium term interventions to lessen the effects of their psychological trauma or recent and/or old events on their lives. Clients attend sessions with clinical diagnoses or their current experiences of moderate to severe level of symptoms leading to their interest in receiving assessments for formal diagnoses. Specific needs and goals of therapy are usually discussed in the first session during intake assessment. I can also provide sessions in Korean.

Whether you want to learn strategies to regain mental health; regulate intense emotions; navigate life's complexities and relationships; manage stress or simply maintain optimal wellbeing and balance, I take a compassionate, collaborative and client-centred approach in employing evidence based treatment relevant to the uniqueness of the client. Working with adolescents and adults from a predominantly DBT-informed lens, I encourage people to take an active role in devising treatment goals and firmly believe that each individual is the expert on themselves. I strive to consistently embody non-judgment and flexibility in all that I do.

Many people reach midlife carrying far more than they show to others. They may be caring for children, supporting ageing parents, managing demanding work, or holding relationships together while quietly feeling exhausted, disconnected, unseen, or unsure of who they are becoming. Life can begin to feel flat, heavy, or emotionally confusing. Anxiety, irritability, low mood, restlessness, or a sense of “going through the motions” often emerge at this stage of life. I work with individuals and couples who long to feel more alive, understood, and connected to themselves and each other, helping them move forward with greater clarity

You might be the person everyone else leans on — quietly wondering who’s there for you. You might carry grief that doesn’t follow a timeline, anxiety that feels like personality by now, or trauma that changed how you move through the world. Many clients are navigating life transitions, relationship or family conflict, or the complexity of growing up between cultures — often with a heart for the Asian-Australian experience. Others are exploring where faith and mental health intersect, wanting a space where faith is welcomed, not set aside. Whatever brought you here, you don’t need it figured out first.

Many of my clients feel "wired & tired, not sleepy". They are exhausted, frustrated, & overwhelmed by chronic sleep problems. They may lie awake for hours, wake frequently, or dread bedtime because their mind won’t switch off. Others feel their body clock is out of sync, or their child is struggling with nighttime fears or disrupted sleep. They want clarity, practical guidance, and a plan that makes sense. My mission is simple - to turn sleep science into practical tools so clients can reclaim their sleep and get back to feeling themselves again—rested, clear-headed, and able to enjoy life.

I work with adults (18+) and couples wanting to improve their mood/anxiety, relationships, and for those wanting to understand and change how their history continues to shape their relational patterns today. This may be particularly pertinent during the perinatal period (during pregnancy and postpartum). I also work with couples to understand how and where you both get caught in conflict and disconnection, explore the deeper needs and emotions underneath the surface-level frustration, and to learn new ways to communicate with each other effectively so you both feel heard and connected.

I have a strong interest in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, chronic health conditions, chronic pain and life transitions (such as work roles, migration, or life stages). I am also passionate about working with individuals from different cultures (particularly South East Asia) and adjusting to living in Australia as a migrant or international student, who are exploring their sense of self and identity, and reconciling their values with their new identity. I see therapy as a safe, non-judgemental, calm space to explore the issues in depth.
