I am a psychotherapist, Medicare approved Clinical Social Worker, a trauma trained EMDR and Eating Disorder therapist. Off late, you may have noticed emotions and thoughts continue to rule your life, and no matter how hard you try, it never feels 'good enough'. You find yourself stuck in the cycle of 'wanting to please others' while feeling unseen and unheard. You now know that your anxiety and need for control is no longer serving you. You want to start honouring yourself and your needs, even when if it feels hard.

I'll help you find a way through whatever is bothering you by teaching you a different way of relating to your problems which will be a total relief. The changes you make will be lasting, life-enhancing and uniquely yours. You may have never had therapy, or be like many of the people I work with and have seen lots of other therapists before and nothing has really stuck. It could be a familiar old depression feeling creeping back in, you might be feeling conflicted about what to do about a situation, whatever it is, I can help. As a psychotherapist, I am unfortunately unable to offer Medicare rebates.

I am sensitive to the lived experiences, diversity and complexity of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am sex-positive and aim to create a space that is inclusive, non-judgemental and able to hold different lives and cultures. We will find this space together. My practice is informed by a long interest in yoga (ashtanga vinyasa), meditation (insight/vipassana) and buddhism (mostly zen). I am interested in the spiritual journey and the existential and deeply personal questions this throws up – particularly when this intersects with being queer. I am also interested in how we construct (and sometimes deconstruct) our ‘working selves’.
