Let's Connect (03) 4829 3849

Are you... questioning long-held beliefs? integrating a neurodivergence diagnosis? exploring your sexuality or gender? adjusting to chronic illness, disability or perimenopause? healing from religious trauma? exhausted from caring for others while neglecting yourself? And... feeling lost or stuck & wanting change? ready to stop forcing yourself into boxes that you don't fit in? ready to find self-acceptance amid complexity? wanting someone who won't pathologise your experiences but will validate them? wanting help with managing anxiety, building self-worth & communicating authentically? needing someone who 'gets' you?

I bring lived experience of faith exploration, late autism diagnosis, perimenopause, & gender & sexuality exploration. I understand identity reconstruction deeply & well as not 'fitting in' the boxes societal norms prescribe. I bring years of experience in aged & disability services, honouring each individuals unique needs.

I use a personalised integrative approach that meets you where you're at. I am highly empathic, naturally curious & gently challenging. I welcome all walks of life & belief systems, offering nuanced exploration & openness. If you're ready to gain clarity, build resilience & embrace the complexity & beauty of who you are - I'm here to walk with you.
