Life can feel overwhelming when emotions run deep or your world has shifted in ways you didn’t expect. I support women and individuals navigating grief, trauma, birth loss, identity changes, behavioural challenges, and emotional overwhelm. My approach integrates art therapy, somatic awareness, and transpersonal counselling to gently explore what is held beneath the surface. Working from Murrumbeena, and supporting clients across Carnegie, Hughesdale, Oakleigh, and Bentleigh, I offer a grounded, safe space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity and strength.
I support individuals and groups experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I have a particular focus on women navigating birth loss, infertility, menopause, and identity changes. Together we build emotional resilience, deepen self-understanding, and support meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is integrative and person-centred, drawing from art therapy, expressive therapies, somatic and attachment-based practices. I also incorporate transpersonal counselling to explore deeper meaning and identity. I work with the whole person, supporting emotional awareness and nervous system regulation in a safe, grounded space.
