My website
I work with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, and emotional reactivity, as well as low confidence and self-esteem. I support clients navigating ADHD-related challenges, difficulties with friendships or bullying, and those processing trauma, grief, or loss. I also work with people wanting to improve relationships, break generational patterns, or move out of self-sabotaging cycles or addictions. In sessions, we build practical tools for everyday life while developing a deeper understanding of your unique patterns and tendencies.
I take pride in being a highly person-centred therapist, meaning I adapt sessions to suit you—whether that includes structured strategies, reflective conversations, or a more flexible approach where we incorporate your creativity, interests & comforts. I believe you will get the most out of therapy when you feel completely supported to express yourself.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. My role is to help you make sense of what’s going on and support you in moving forward with more clarity and confidence.

Unfortunately as counselling is not covered by Medicare, I am unable to process mental health care plan rebates. Instead, I strive to keep my rates affordable and accessible. This enables you to access your preferred number of sessions without the need for referrals or rebates.

Initially I'll hold space for you and provide immediate support with skills and strategies you can use to support yourself through the emotional intensity. In time, I can help you start to view yourself as independent from the parts of you feeling scared, sad, or rejected. This can help you reduce your overwhelm and emotional reactivity and build a stable loving relationship with yourself.

My preferred therapeutic approach is grounded in parts work via the Internal Family Systems model. This helps us to understand the way your mind operates, setting the scene for tailored interventions with modalities such as CBT, Acceptance & Commitment therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I love adapting therapy to client interests by incorporating art, games, humour, storytelling and movement.
