I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and insight-oriented, drawing on CBT, ACT, and attachment-based therapies within a trauma-informed framework.
I also have experience supporting veterans and current ADF members, including those accessing DVA-funded services. Sessions are delivered via telehealth, making quality psychological support accessible wherever you are in Australia.
Clients often describe our work together as a space where they feel genuinely heard, and where they develop greater clarity, self-compassion, and confidence. Sessions are eligible for Medicare rebates with a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can explore whether we're a good fit before you commit to anything.
