My ideal clients are those who are usually shoved to the side, or seen as "too much to handle". I'm passionate about LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergency advocacy (having lived experience in both areas), and will always try my hardest to provide my clients with care that works with their strengths, and not against them. To me, where you've come from doesn't completely tell your story - it's where you end up, and how you get there, that really matters.

We help kids, teens, and adults manage emotions, reduce stress, and build stronger relationships.
Does your child come home from school and unleash a meltdown worthy of an Oscar? Homework battles? Friendship dramas? Or maybe it’s you—lying awake at 2am, overthinking everything, and surviving on caffeine. You’ve tried pep talks, deep breaths, and maybe even bribery… but nothing sticks. What you really want is less chaos, more calm, and to feel like yourself (and your family) again. We get it—we’re parents and humans too, and we know life doesn’t always go to plan.

West End, QLD 4101
Hi, I'm Meg. I like to help people with the deeper currents in their life. The ones that are a little stubborn and won't budge through intellectual understanding alone. Sometimes these are threads to past experiences needing more attention, or ways we've adapted to social pressures where there's scope for us to respond more authentically. Using a somatic approach, I can help you connect with the felt sense of these experiences and adaptations. Through deeper emotional processing it becomes possible to make changes you've been hoping for.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
