Counsellor, PACFA
Canberra, ACT 2600
When you're caught up in uncomfortable emotions, it's easy to put everyone else's needs first and pick up habits that keep the peace, like people pleasing and perfectionism. Over time, these patterns pull you further from who you truly are. You end up shaped by everyone else's expectations instead of your own values, and it can leave you feeling anxious, stressed, and mentally and physically exhausted.

Maybe you feel like you don't fit in - that others seem to have 'it' and you don't. Maybe you think you don't do the 'right' things, the things you think you should be doing. Perhaps you are dogged by sadness, anxiety, confusion or fear and don't understand why this is so. It could be that you are struggling to succeed in a relationship, a job, or being socially worthy and you are frustrated at what you see as your limitations. Maybe you had a one-off traumatic experience that you feel you will never get over, or childhood and adolescent 'failures' that you feel defined by. But you also don't want to give up and are searching ...

You might be here because the bad days never seem to end... perhaps you're feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected or you’re stuck in a cycle of negative thought patterns like, “I’m not good enough” or “I'll never change or get better”. Maybe you're struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, fatigue, depression, emotional numbness, difficult memories.... or past traumatic experiences that continues to affect your life today? There might be a tension that feels more emotional in origin, or you're feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Perhaps it's finally beginning to take a toll on you, or your relationships?

Many of my clients are women 50+ facing major life changes—divorce, loss, burnout, or feeling lost after years of putting others first. They want clarity, emotional ease, and a stronger connection to themselves. I also work with individuals and couples of all ages who feel stuck and want lasting inner change. Using Internal Family Systems therapy, somatic practices, and self-compassion, I help you gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface—so you can move forward with more clarity, connection, and confidence. I also see anyone who wants to know themselves on a deeper level, healing past trauma and attachment wounds.
