Using an integrated person-centered approach, I work with clients to set achievable goals working towards improving their quality of life. I feel strongly about working alongside clients to support their journey in a way that works best for them, while challenging them to seek new and more effective ways to view their world.

I work with individuals, parents, couples and families and offer formulation and treatment for a full range of mental health & relationship issues. I believe in a whole person approach, which focuses on the brain, mind and body so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality.

Families, couples and individuals seek my services because they want help to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, they want to understand each other’s experiences and views, appreciate each other’s needs, build on strengths and make useful changes in their relationships and their lives. My clients often comment that my sessions have provided them an opportunity to reflect on themselves and how they interact in their relationships which helps them understand their own behaviours better, thus finding ways forward - either as an individual or as a couple and family.

I welcome youth (16-25 years), adults and older adults, Veterans/First Responders/Health Professionals and LGBTIQ+ people. I also welcome First Nations Australians, and have trained working with First Nations Australians, particularly Whadjuk Noongar people in whose land I work and live. I do not currently see couples or family groups for counselling, and do not undertake court-ordered, family court or forensic assessments and reports as I feel these are best completed by clinicians who are specially trained in these areas.

I'm a holistic counsellor & psychotherapist, and my work centres around helping clients make sense and meaning of their life story. I work with people who may be feeling lost, stuck or out of alignment in their lives and relationships.

You may be feeling a deep sense of grief, loss or fear about the environmental crisis or around social injustice issues.

I am a Registered Counsellor with a passion for supporting individuals, families, and communities in pursuing a purpose-filled life that fosters ongoing growth in self-awareness, connection to values, and a sense of meaning, belonging, and wholeness. I draw from a selection of modalities such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy, TRE (trauma release/tension reduction exercises), Family Systems, and I integrate a whole-body approach to healing (body, mind, spirit/soul, community), wellbeing, and ultimate flourishing.

I am a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist in Fremantle consulting with adults, adolescents and children presenting with a wide range of mental health issues.

For over a decade I have worked in outpatient clinics, the community mental health sector and in private practice both in the USA and Australia. Additionally, I have an extensive research portfolio in psychoanalysis and clinical psychology.

As a mature person I have the benefit of my own life experience as well as my many years of professional practice that I can draw upon. This has enabled me to help many people to improve the quality of their lives and their relationships and to cope with and overcome the traumas and challenges that life eventually presents to all of us.
