I am a registered psychologist based in Melbourne, working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties (including chronic insomnia), and trauma. I aim to provide a calm, non-judgemental space to feel heard and find a way forward. I also have an interest in working with neurodivergent adults who would like to better understand their experiences, honour their strengths, and develop practical systems that work with their brains, not against it.
I utilise an integrative, evidence-based approach that includes cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT; adapted for neurodivergent clients), eye-movement desensitisation reprocessing therapy (EMDR), trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I am also a certified CBT for insomnia (CBTi) practitioner.
I hold the view that “we do well when we can”, where therapy is a space to build both self-understanding and small, realistic changes that align with what matters most to you.
Feel free to contact me via email. You do not need to have the ‘right words’ or a clear goal to get started; we can figure that out together.
