Thank you for viewing my profile! I'm a registered Clinical Psychologist who is committed to delivering personalised and effective psychological support with a compassionate and client-focused approach to therapy. My practice emphasises individual safety and empowerment within therapy sessions, practical interventions, and acknowledgment of each individual’s unique experiences. I primarily draw on attachment-based, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioural perspectives and use a holistic approach to therapy that incorporates thoughts, feelings, body/sensations, and behaviours towards positive outcomes.
I have an interest in cognitive psychology (memory, perception, language) and affective neuroscience (emotions, social behaviours, psychosomatics) for helping with anxiety/panic attacks, depression/grief, trauma/stress and relationship management, and issues related to ADHD (executive functioning, rejection sensitivity, etc.).
I work with individual adults who feel emotionally shut down (particularly men), individuals carrying childhood wounds of trauma or self-worth struggles, trauma survivors seeking recovery and connection, and migrants or Asian-Australians navigating family pressures, minority stress, or prejudice. Reach out to begin your healing journey.

I often practice with a trauma-informed lens. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you regain trust in your body, manage your thoughts, and tolerate difficult feelings to learn more adaptive responses.
