I work from a predominantly psychodynamic and attachment-based approach, and adopt a trauma-informed framework in my work.
I am a registered clinical psychologist offering brief and long-term psychotherapy for adults and adolescents (16+), who not only wish to address specific mental health concerns, but also to deepen their self-understanding and make sense of their inner world. My areas of interest and experience include working with individuals experiencing low mood/depression, anxiety, difficulties with adjustment/life transitions, trauma-related difficulties, self-esteem issues, difficulties in relationships, and chronic dissatisfaction with their lives. Additionally, I am particularly interested in working with clients from CALD backgrounds.

As a therapist, I endeavour to provide a gentle, reflective space in which we can explore your inner world together. One of our deepest needs is to form meaningful emotional bonds throughout life. The ways we experience and internalise relationships, together with our temperament, shape how we develop as individuals. When emotional needs go unmet, we can develop painful feelings, beliefs, and expectations about ourselves and others that obscure our authentic selves. My approach is to help you develop insight into and work through these experiences to foster lasting growth and self-understanding.

I offer compassionate, evidence-based trauma-informed counselling in the Redlands as well as surrounding areas (Cleveland, Victoria Point, Redland bay, Capalaba, Bayside Brisbane) supporting individuals, adolescents, couples and families through depression, anxiety, grief, chronic illness, stress, life transitions and relationship challenges. I don’t see people as ‘the problem’. Instead, we look at what’s happening around you — your relationships, roles, pressures, life stages, history, and supports — and how all of that is impacting how you’re feeling. It’s a way of working that focuses on understanding, not labelling.

We all want happy secure, attachments with our loved ones. But adverse childhood experiences or attachment trauma, as well as neuro-divergence, can make it hard to feel safe and calm in our relationships with others. Building and maintaining intimate relationships requires emotional vulnerability and trust, which can feel impossible when we have been hurt, let down, or even abused by relationships in the past. We can experience relationships as dangerous, leaving us anxious, depressed, or alone, without understanding why.

My ideal clients are adults, adolescents, and children who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in situations they don’t fully understand. People reach out when things aren’t working emotionally, socially or relationally. You may need to make sense of a child's, colleague's, partner or even your own behaviour, emotions, or experiences. I use a simple and practical biopsychosocial framework that considers the whole person to build awareness, develop skills, and create clear, realistic strategies that help to strengthen relationships, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

I work with people who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. Together we explore "what hurts", what you desire and long for and how you relate to yourself and the world. Psychodynamic therapy respects the complexity of humans and looks to provide not only relief from symptoms, but the opportunity for a richer life.

I adapt my approach to each person, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities including ACT, CBT, DBT, SFBT, Family Systems, schema therapy, hypnotherapy, attachment-based approaches, cultural humility, trauma-informed, feminist approaches and I keep it person-centred.
People come to me because they’ve never felt fully understood in mainstream services, as they identify as LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, or from refugee and multicultural backgrounds. I counsel people of all genders, as well as those in non-traditional relationships such as polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, Kink/BDSM communities, and sex workers. I support clients who feel deeply, are easily triggered, are navigating life with trauma, think differently, or live at the intersection of multiple identities — including those with mental health diagnoses, as well as couples and families seeking a space where their complexity is understood.
