I’m a passionate trauma-focused therapist, MH accredited social worker, and member of the LGBTIQA+ community. Drawing from my own lived experience of trauma recovery, I deeply understand the challenges my clients face and recognise how important it is to sit with someone who gets it. Trauma can disrupt our sense of self, relationships, and how we connect with the world around us. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can heal, find your inner strength and resilience, and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

Feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected? I work with LGBTQ+ adults, specialising in gay men and queer women who are navigating anxiety, identity questions, relationships, burnout, grief, or major life transitions. You feel exhausted from pretending, people-pleasing, or carrying things alone for too long. You want a therapist who understands your queer life without having to explain it. Someone affirming, grounded, and emotionally attuned. Therapy can be a space where you feel safe to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and reconnect with yourself. You can book a free 15-minute intro call, to see if we’re the right fit.

I work with people who feel like they’re carrying too much. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, exhaustion, shame, or the sense that they’re caught in patterns they can’t quite see but can’t seem to change. For others, it’s tied to experiences of trauma, OCD, eating disorders, or the ongoing effort of living in a body or world that hasn’t always felt safe. Many are also navigating questions of identity, neurodivergence, or health alongside their mental health. What they’re looking for is clarity, steady support, and practical ways to start untangling the patterns that leave them feeling stuck.

I work with common issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship challenges, loneliness, workplace issues, and self-esteem.
I work with people who appreciate inner-work and creative understanding and want to integrate a deeper level of soul and meaning into their lives. Many people I see have reached a point of seeing how old conditioning and patterns have been limiting their inner and outer lives and are wanting to make significant changes. Many people are at a crossroads, undergoing real loss, grief, or disappointment, and needing to find new meaning and direction.
