I combine compassionate listening with practical tools and structured, evidence-based therapies including ACT, CBT and EMDR.
With over 20 years’ experience, I work with adults navigating anxiety, the aftermath of difficult or toxic relationships, trauma, emotional burnout, and stress-related challenges — including workplace and WorkCover presentations. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or exhausted from holding everything together. Often, our responses make sense in the context of what we’ve experienced. Together, we explore the “why” beneath those patterns and begin making meaningful behavioural and cognitive changes that support healthier outcomes.

I skip the "Cultural 101" and use CBT, Schema, EMDR, and CBT-E to untangle old patterns.
You're Asian Australian, high-functioning, and carrying the silent weight of family pressure, perfectionism, and cultural beauty standards. You’ve learned that achievement is the bare minimum and emotional suppression is the only way to belong. Navigating intergenerational trauma or feeling "not Asian enough" is exhausting. '
You don't need to translate your life to get help.
Previous therapy felt frustrating when explaining cultural context took up half the session. I understand why you can't just "go no contact," why career feels like survival, and why shame runs deeper than Western textbooks realize.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
