Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break? I support adults who want practical tools and compassionate therapy. I'm a Mental Health Social Worker, trained in EMDR and Advanced Clinical Resource Therapy (parts work). I work with adults impacted by CPTSD, PTSD, acute trauma, attachment trauma, family violence, sexual assault, and relationship difficulties. I specialise in trauma-informed, strengths-based therapy and value the power of change through a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. I accept NDIS, WorkSafe, Victims of Crime, GP referrals, private health and self-referrals.
I am trained in EMDR, Resource Therapy, Flash Technique, TF-CBT, ACT, and other evidence-based trauma therapies. I specialise in adults impacted by childhood, sexual, relational, and single-incident trauma, with an outcome-focused approach supporting sustained symptom reduction and improved functioning.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, particularly if past support has been unhelpful. I offer a no-obligation phone consultation to introduce myself and how I work. I also bring a somatic perspective as a trauma-informed yoga teacher.
