I am a relational psychotherapist offering individual and couples therapy in Brunswick, Melbourne. My practice is particularly well suited to people navigating relational or developmental trauma, emotional distress, or a sense of feeling stuck in longstanding patterns.
I believe psychotherapy has the potential to be truly transformative, not only in managing symptoms, but in cultivating greater self awareness, agency, emotional freedom, and more connected relationships. This belief is continually reinforced through my clinical work and ongoing training, as well as through my own experience of therapy.
My practice is informed by interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and psychodynamic theory, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care. I work holistically, supporting clients at multiple levels of experience, including the emotional, cognitive, relational, and somatic. This approach is suitable for a wide variety of needs.
In addition to my clinical work, I teach psychotherapy at a tertiary level and bring a thoughtful, research-informed lens to the work I do.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will take time to understand your inner world and work with you thoughtfully and collaboratively, I welcome you to get in touch.
