Life can change in ways that leave you feeling unsettled, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are becoming. You may be navigating changing relationships, unmet expectations, shifting identities, migration, faith transitions, betrayal, or realising that life has not unfolded the way you hoped. I support women navigating accumulated grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with ministry leaders, pastors, chaplains, and those in caring roles who may be carrying the emotional and spiritual weight of supporting others while neglecting their own wellbeing.

I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals impacted by trauma, Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) concerns, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), injury, chronic illness, and disability. Whether you're struggling with intense emotions or life transitions.

I help people going through the worst days of their lives, with many challenges that all seem to stack up. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling beneath the surface. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, burnout, trauma, stress, identity questions, or relationship difficulties. You maybe feeling exhausted or disconnected inside. You don’t want to be “fixed”, you want to be understood. You are seeking clarity, practical tools, and a sense of hope, and are ready to explore your story with someone who meets you as a whole person, not a diagnosis.

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.
