I work with kids, tweens, teens and families to better communicate and connect. After working as a Visual Art Teacher and Guidance Officer for over ten years, I have seen the pressing need for mental health support in our community and how the art-making process can assist in providing support—also supporting our NDIS community, working with ASD, ADHD and students with anxiety. Students can find it hard to find connections in schools; group sessions offer clients a chance to build social connections through art and discussion.

My passion for children has led me to work in the early childhood sector for over 12 years. During this time, I began to develop a desire to understand connections between people, behavior, thoughts and feelings. This inspired me to study a diploma of counselling which has given me knowledge into mental and physical wellbeing. Since completing my Diploma, (May 2021) I have volunteered within the grief sector and nature-based counselling to children through to adults.

Are you stuck in a spiral of overthinking, or anxious, self-critical, confusing thought loops that just won't give you a break? You might also feel aware that you are more sensitive than others. Perhaps you're very hard on yourself, even though you know how much this approach exhausts and isolates you. But what if there was another way? I can help you to gently explore your experience to find clarity. And over time, you can develop an inner "compassionate self" to rely on, one who will care for you in a kind, wise way.

It takes a lot of courage to start therapy. There are often things happening in our life that we don’t want to look at and that we don’t understand but that are having a negative impact on our lives. I aim to provide a warm, accepting and safe environment to allow people to start to make sense of these topics in their life. I seek to adjust the pace of therapy to suit the individual client.

Each therapeutic approach is entirely unique and tailored depending on your specific needs. With this in mind - my therapy approach integrates clinical, evidence-based frameworks and techniques, with more intuitive, transpersonal and ‘eastern’ approaches. As a therapist I attune to each person I work with and engage from a place of openness & non-judgement

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
