I work with individuals and couples on a range of concerns, including anxiety, complex trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, emotional burnout, acute stress, attachment injuries, emotion regulation difficulties, and a lack of meaning or purpose.
I draw on CBT, ACT, EMDR, and IFS to tailor evidence-based therapy to each client’s needs. I’ve worked across NSW Health, Veteran Affairs, Educational settings, and I currently run a private practice in Newtown. I support individuals exploring spirituality, belief systems, or identity, including those navigating existential uncertainty or crises of meaning.

My work is relational, trauma-aware, and grounded in Grief Counselling, Narrative Therapy, and Core Self Reclamation Therapy.
For childless women. You wanted children, but it didn’t unfold that way. You may feel invisible, outside the families of others, and wanting to make peace with your own story. I offer online childlessness counselling. This is a space where you don’t have to explain why it still hurts, or why certain dates, conversations, or everyday moments still catch you off guard. Together, we can make sense of what you’ve been through, soften any self-blame, and begin to find a more steadily anchored sense of yourself going forward. You and your needs are centred. Many women tell me this is the first place they’ve felt truly understood.

We use somatic tools to: - navigate the crash - process medical trauma - manage systemic flares - honour your neurotype - unlink psychological pain from physiological pain
If you’re living with complex conditions like POTS, Long COVID, MCAS, EDS, CFS, or Autoimmune disorders, your nervous system is likely in a constant state of high alert. When a body is stuck in a cycle of flares, exhaustion, and medical gaslighting, "just talking about it" often isn't enough. You can’t talk your way out of a physiological nervous system response. My practice is designed for those who have hit a wall with traditional talk therapy and are seeking a body-based, neuroaffirming approach to find stability again.

I'm starting to learn that maybe it's ok that i don't always have my sht together. I’m human and that’s ok."
