Relationships shape the way we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us. Whether you're navigating relationship difficulties, identity, family dynamics, addiction, or feeling caught in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.
Healing and meaningful change happen through secure relationships. My role is to offer a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative and genuine. You are the expert on your own life, so think of me less as a teacher and more as a guide as we work towards the goals that matter for you.

As a late diagnosed Autistic/ADHD/PDA individual, I proudly own who I am and utilise this as a foundation for my framework of practise as a Registered Counsellor. It has given me the permission to deeply root myself in neurodiverse affirmative counselling; a strengths based, non-pathologising type of therapy where each individual’s unique neurotype, sensory needs, values, beliefs, and current lifestyle form the foundation for therapy. It gives me such joy to work with people in the process of unmasking, and gently guide them as they discover what living authentically can be like.

We are messy, chaotic, complex creatures that can easily get lost navigating the confusing experience of being human. We cannot navigate it on our own, and therapy can be a tool to help you build the connection and belonging that we all need to live sustainably.

I am a Brisbane-based psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice, working with individuals (16+ years) and couples. My way of working tends to resonate with those who feel a quiet pull to understand themselves more deeply, and with those who sense that their relationships—both with themselves and others—could hold more ease and coherence. I try to approach each person as singular, attending not only to their symptoms or struggles, but to the particular texture of their inner world and the unfolding story of who they are becoming.

I understand that something significant has likely brought you here. Perhaps you’ve experienced challenging events in the past, are facing life-changing circumstances, or even though everything seems fine externally, you’re struggling internally.
For many, therapy can feel like a last resort. You might have tried other ways to feel better and whilst those steps can be helpful, difficult psychological struggles require specific psychological support. Reaching out to a therapist means sharing deeply personal with a complete stranger. This requires genuine vulnerability and it's natural to feel uncertain about booking a first session.
