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?
I understand you, you’re not alone. I get it and I can help you. As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and with more than 17 years counselling experience, I’ve received specialised training in treating every person as a whole. I am trained in EMDR and CBT to treat trauma, PTSD, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, dating and relationship concerns.
With 24/7 online scheduling, flexible appointment availability and the ability to do online therapy through a secure telehealth platform (Zoom) or Telephone, therapy has never been so easy! Take the next step in your healing journey and book your appointment today. Can’t find a day/time that works? Send me an enquiry and let's find a time that works.

While I have extensive training and experience in treating mental health concerns with CBT, ACT and EMDR, I believe that nobody knows you better than you. My approach is highly collaborative. I can share with you my knowledge of evidence-based treatment techniques and strategies, but ultimately it is you who set the goals and pace for sessions.
