I am a warm and compassionate Registered Psychologist dedicated to providing evidence-based therapy with an approach that is attachment-based. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying patterns that shape current relationships and self-perception, in order to foster meaningful and lasting change.
I have experience working with adults presenting with anxiety, low mood, burnout, relationship difficulties (romantic, social, or work-related), multicultural issues, low self-esteem, and grief and loss. I also work with individuals navigating neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD), complex family dynamics, cultural adjustment, and major life transitions.
Born and raised in Australia, I’ve lived and worked across several countries, which informs my culturally sensitive and inclusive approach. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and neurodiversity friendly, and I tailor therapy to respect each person’s unique background and lived experience.

I am passionate about working with clients who are experiencing symptoms that stem from relational issues. From an interpersonal therapy perspective, I often find that a client's suffering stems mainly from maladaptive coping strategies that were created during past difficulties. By unravelling these patterns, we see a reduction in anxious, depressive, and stress symptoms, among many other issues.

I often use Psychodynamic therapy integrated with Emotion-focussed therapy, both attachment-based, to delve into patterns that have developed as a result of your upbringing, and shed light on how they affect your current situation. The sessions utilize the relationship between the therapist and the client to provide an experiential learning to help break these unhelpful patterns.
