Neurodivergent children, teenagers, and young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in everyday life. This may look like difficulties with emotional regulation, school engagement, self-care, confidence, social connection, routines, independence, or participation in daily activities. Many of the families I work with have already tried multiple supports or found it difficult to find the right therapeutic fit. I support young people and families to find practical ways forward and engage more fully in everyday life.

Noosa Heads, QLD 4567
I work with sensitive, intuitive adults, teens, and young adults in Noosa Heads who often experience life more intensely than those around them, seeking support for anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. You may feel exhausted from trying to hold it all together. Sensitivity is not something to fix or overcome, it’s a way of relating to the world and can be a strength. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and nervous-system focused. I bring a background in yoga and wellness. I also work in family law, which gives me experience with relationship breakdowns, conflict, and emotionally complex family dynamics.

Maleny, QLD 4552
Sometimes life can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost or like an outsider. Sometimes the people around us don’t understand how we feel or don’t know how to support us. Whatever is going on for you right now, there is a way through. I know that within you is an innate wisdom. I enjoy helping people connect to their inner selves and find their own answers through exploration. It takes courage to see someone and discuss your inner life, it is an honour to be part of that journey and I don’t take the privilege lightly.
