Life can start to feel overwhelming when your mind is constantly busy, your emotions feel intense, or you no longer recognise the person you used to be. Many women come to therapy feeling exhausted from trying to hold everything together. If you feel stuck, lost, burnt out, or caught in cycles of overthinking and self-criticism, you are not alone. More importantly, change is possible. I provide one-on-one telehealth therapy for women, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. With no long wait times and flexible online sessions, therapy can fit around the realities of busy lives.

My ideal clients are mid-life women who are navigating a season of significant change and beginning to notice that their usual ways of coping no longer feel sustainable. They may come to my practice feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move through transitions such as perimenopause or menopause, relationship changes, caring for ageing parents, shifting family roles, career pressure, burnout, grief, or a deeper sense of “Who am I now?”

Hi there, I’m a psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and clinical mental health therapist (social work) offering both in-person sessions in Bulimba and online. I believe therapy begins with connection. The trust and safety you feel with your therapist create the foundation for meaningful change. It’s from that place that feeling truly supported, nurtured, empowered and more connected to yourself can begin. If you're looking for someone who brings genuine presence, curiosity, and the ability to sit with your vulnerability, strengths, and complexity with care, then you're in the right place.

I work with people navigating life transitions, seeking clarity, and wanting to create a life that aligns with their values, goals and sense of direction. This may include career change, relocation, relationship transitions, stepping into new life stages, or periods of uncertainty where you are reconsidering what matters most and what comes next. I support individuals who are seeking a deeper understanding of their experiences, including exploring whether there may be underlying factors contributing to how they think, feel or respond.

Do you feel stuck in exhausting cycles of guilt, shame or self-doubt, even while appearing to function well on the outside? Difficult home environments, trauma, or neurodivergence may have shaped how you see yourself, leaving you silently battling intense thoughts and emotions. Perhaps you’ve been through painful experiences that others (or yourself) might not see as trauma yet they’ve had a deep impact. Trauma isn’t always one big event; it can come from ongoing experiences like emotional neglect, criticism, bullying, or growing up around conflict. My passion is working with complex trauma often accompanied with neurodivergence.

I work with adults and adolescents navigating complex presentations; like eating disorders, trauma, personality difficulties, men's mental health, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I also see NDIS participants and Defence personnel through the ADF. Many clients have tried general support and found it hasn't touched what they're actually dealing with; others can't access quality care where they live. Telehealth bridges that gap across regional and remote Australia. My sessions are collaborative, goal-focused, and evidence-based with an aim to build your capacity to manage your own wellbeing, in a space that is genuinely non-judgemental.
