I am a counsellor & psychotherapist working in the existential humanist tradition. I work with all sorts of issues including mental health, addictions and relationship issues to name a few. I am registered with PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation Australia), and have worked in youth mental health, alcohol & other drugs counselling and trauma counselling. If you are experiencing issues with any emotional concerns, anxiety, substance use, addiction, including behavioural addictions such as sex, internet or pornography, please do not hesitate to reach out.
I have over 10 years experience as a counsellor working in community health settings and now in private practice since 2024. I am an approved counsellor with Victims Services NSW and a PACFA Clinical Supervisor.
Your first intake/consultation is free of charge, as it is important that you feel comfortable with your chosen therapist. Feel free to reach out by phone or email with any questions you may have or visit my website for more information. I am here to help support & empower you to become your best self.

I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds and presenting concerns, such as trauma, anxiety, addictions and depression. I use a variety of counselling approaches but there is no typical treatment plan as it truly depends on you and your unique situation. However some of my favourite modalities are ACT, EMDR & Person Centered Therapy.
