Every relationship leaves something behind: a way of protecting yourself, a pattern you didn't choose, a version of yourself you learned to lead with because it felt safer than the authentic one. You may know what you "should" do, but something stops you from saying the thing out loud. Maybe in this relationship, maybe in all of them.
You may have been in therapy before and it helped you manage, but was strategy-focused, and something still didn’t shift. Therapy with me makes space for deeper self-understanding: why the same patterns keep repeating. I work with adults navigating pregnancy and postpartum, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, eating disorders, grief, and the impacts of psychosis.
Underneath almost all of it, there's a relationship: with someone else, with yourself, or with the life you imagined. My approach is relational and psychodynamic. I'm based in East Melbourne and offer telehealth Australia wide. I'm currently accepting new clients. Get in touch for a free 15-minute call to see if we're a good fit.

My approach is psychodynamic and attachment-informed, with an emphasis on understanding the patterns that shape a person's life. Therapy may be more focused around a particular concern, or longer-term where difficulties feel longstanding, recurring, or hard to shift.
