I'm a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor helping you navigate parenting, anxiety, burnout, and ADHD through compassionate counselling and support. I bring 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families in schools, youth justice, and parenting programs. As a former school counsellor and qualified yoga and meditation teacher, I weave together child development, attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic tools to help people strengthen relationships, regulate emotions, and find more ease in everyday life.
How we work will depend on people's preferences and what they and coming with. My approach to therapy is collaborative and deeply relational, so we work out what might help and what is or isn't working along the way. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful tools for growth and we will use this to meet your goals.
If my profile, experience and specialisation resonates with you, reach out and I will guide and support you from there. You don't have to keep facing things alone and I look forward to working through things together.

Starting with the belief that people are experts in their own lives, I work from a person-centered, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming approach. I embody a strengths-based approach to working with people and mental health, rather than being deficits based. I meet every person from this stance. From there, I work eclectically, integrating a range of approaches depending on need.
