Based in Sydney CBD, NSW, I work with adults seeking support for anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and Asian mental health. I provide a culturally sensitive space to explore past experiences and unmet needs that drive unhelpful coping or relationship patterns. My ideal client wants to understand their emotions, break free from cycles, and build healthier ways of relating. Alongside therapy, I am also appointed as a Single Expert Witness preparing Family Reports for the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy to create tailored treatment plans for each individual. My focus is on helping clients build emotional awareness, strengthen coping strategies, and develop healthier relationships. In addition to therapy, I
The therapy room is a safe and non-judgmental space for us to explore the best way to work on building a life you want to live. I use evidence-based approaches to help adults with their mental health challenges. You will learn about how your early experiences influence the way you think, feel, behave and connect.
