I work exclusively with professional, high-achieving woman who seems to have it all, but who often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected. You may be navigating the emotional and physical challenges of menopause, feeling trapped by stress or burnout, or struggling with OCD or anxiety that chips away at your confidence and peace of mind. Despite your success, you often feel as though there’s little time for yourself or your important relationships, and you long to regain a sense of balance and fulfilment in your life. My client goal are to feel more in control, rekindle a sense of purpose, and nurture meaningful connections.

I offer therapy sessions in-person in Crows Nest or Macquarie Park, and online.
As a therapist, I help people to find healing for themselves and their relationships. I am overjoyed when my clients become who they are truly meant to be, learn to love and be loved, and restore the sense of self, freedom, fulfilment and joy in their lives. When meeting with my clients, I look at the cultural context — societal, religious, family and relationship — and seek to understand how culture shapes the personal story of each individual. I then attend to how you hold yourself, your story and sufferings, in your body, mind and spirit.

Many of my clients are insightful and high-functioning but struggle with anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, self-esteem, or complex relationships. My approach is warm, direct, and practical.

I can understand the overwhelming weight of feeling trapped. It might be navigating the complexities of a narcissistic personality, surviving domestic violence, or facing family conflict that leaves you questioning your reality. This pain is hard to explain to others, and the fear of being stuck can feel suffocating. It can often make us feel very lonely. In our work together, the focus isn’t on labelling or diagnosing the people in your life. Instead, its time to centre what you’ve experienced: the impact of chronic invalidation, control, or threats. Moreover, how those patterns have affected your sense of safety, and self belief.

In my role as a clinical psychologist I will listen to you, the expert in your own life, to guide us in your treatment goals. Therapy can be short term and specific, or you may wish to have a safe and contemplative space to explore re- occurring themes in your life. You may need to examine and reset patterns of behaviour so your family/relationships can flourish and enjoy wellbeing, or you may be a performing artist or student struggling with performance anxiety, perfectionism and goal setting.

Today, many men are confused about our role and relevance in society. A clear sense of manhood, is I believe, critical to healthy relationships between men and women; men and other men; and obviously men as parents. I believe that my personal experiences are relevant here. Over many years, as parent, partner, friend and colleague, I have learned from my many mistakes and now feel that in a non-judgmental and collaborative way, I have something to offer both men and women in this regard. I believe that therapy is the best way to find out about oneself, that we are all unique and that each person’s life pathway is intensely personal

“Supporting calm, clarity and connection”. You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out or stuck—struggling to cope, questioning your worth, or unsure how to move forward. Perhaps you're adjusting to parenthood, recovering from birth, or navigating fertility and identity shifts. You want calm, clarity, and connection—to feel like you again. You’re ready to break old patterns, feel more confident, and find balance. Deep down, you know you’re capable of change—you just need the right support to help you get there.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
