The young people I have helped came to me suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, domestic violence, OCD and ADHD tendencies and low self-esteem.
I help you to understand how your core beliefs about yourself, others and the world cause you unnecessary suffering and how to challenge and replace those beliefs with more healthy ones. I also teach you about the ways our minds work to give you insights into why you do what you do and why you are often not to blame.

Working with the mind and the body is the key to true healing and transformation. You've possibly done lots of therapy, you have so much awareness but things still are not changing. Maybe it feels like you're going around in circles, even like you're back at square one. It's not that what you've been doing isn't working, but awareness alone isn't enough. Awareness without embodiment will keep us stuck in those same patterns and cycles of stress, anxiety, burnout, unfulfilling relationships, etc. - this is particularly true for those with C-PTSD when those patterns have been learnt early and are deeply ingrained.

There's a particular kind of tired that comes from holding it all together on the outside while everything underneath feels like it's barely keeping up. With this can come anxiety, overwhelm, rage, and maybe even a sense of having lost yourself somewhere along the way. I work with women across Cronulla and the Sutherland Shire, in person and online, supporting them to create space for what's been asking to be felt, and find their way back to feeling lighter, more resourced, and more in control. Reach out for a free 20-minute consultation

When women start drifting towards 40 and beyond, something shifts. Nobody warns you. Just all of a sudden, things hit a little differently. There's often an inner rage that is harder to contain. The body is changing and shifting, right along with your tolerance levels. Relationships are becoming a lot more challenging to navigate. Sometimes a sense of despair, and an inner voice asking, 'is this really all there is', can start to get uncomfortably loud. And something else can happen... old wounds we thought we'd long forgotten, start becoming raw again. "I thought I was over this stuff..." - a not infrequent thought.

My clients arrive feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying too much for too long. They may feel they’ve tried everything, be struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, body image concerns, or major life transitions. Many clients come to me feeling like they are functioning on the outside but struggling internally — caught in cycles of worry, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from themselves. They may be tired of surviving and ready to understand why they feel this way and create meaningful change.
