I’m honoured to have been recognised as one of the top 3 therapists in Sydney in 2025, serving as the principal therapist specialising in relationship therapy. With over 20 years of experience working with diverse cultures, I strive to provide compassionate support to couples.
We all lose our way at times and may need support to get back on track and reignite our relationship, no matter how long or short you have been together. My aim is not for you to keep coming to me but to empower you to develop skills—such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection—so you can navigate life independently.
I specialise in relationship counselling and Family counselling. I can help clients who are experiencing unexpected mood swings, undergoing a significant change, and having harmful thoughts if they are withdrawing from things that used to bring them joy or perhaps feeling isolated or alone.
