I’m a passionate Systemic Family Therapist, working with individuals, couples and families. The integrative, person centred & strength-based approach I use in therapy will ensure the best outcome in managing difficult relationships, separation or divorce, self harm and/or school avoidance in adolescence, prescription medication or illicit substance misuse, alcohol abuse, grief and loss of a loved one, and many other life developmental stage complexities. My trauma-informed approach provides safety, emotional growth, and strength building for all clients in need of support. I'm available for face to face and online or phone sessions
Plan managed and self-managed NDIS clients are welcome! They are charged under NDIS pricing guide.

I work with clients who may be struggling with addiction(s) due to childhood trauma (prolonged), or a singular traumatic event experienced in adulthood. Rather than focusing on client's victimisation, we will create a pathway for skills acquisition and strength building. I love walking alongside my clients and supporting them to regain mastery and autonomy over their lives!
