I am a clinical psychologist based in Sydney who works with individuals who appear high-functioning on the outside but carry anxiety, trauma, or deep emotional fatigue. My clients are often insightful and sensitive, seeking clarity, healing, and a more authentic way of living. They come to therapy not just to manage symptoms, but to understand themselves more deeply, break long-standing patterns, and feel seen in a safe and compassionate space. I support them with a thoughtful, integrative approach that honours both science and the human story.
With extensive clinical experience and ongoing research, I offer trauma-informed therapy that blends evidence-based methods like CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness with insights from eight years of Buddhist psychotherapy study. I specialise in complex cases, including ASD, ADHD, and severe mental illness, across both adult and child populations.
I understand how heavy life can feel beneath the surface. If you are seeking clarity, healing, or support through anxiety, trauma, or complex life patterns, I invite you to reach out. Therapy can be a safe space to reconnect with yourself—with care, respect, and depth. You do not have to go through it alone.
