Recovering from trauma is hard work. It can leave you questioning who you are, doubting your instincts, and feeling out of control — often just when you hoped things were finally easing. The storm has a way of arriving uninvited, touching every part of your life: your relationships, your sense of purpose, even your sense of safety. Having a counsellor who shows up consistently — with skill, warmth, and the ability to sit with you in the hard parts — can make the difference between barely surviving and genuinely healing. I welcome referrals through the Victims Assistance Program, WorkSafe, and Carers Gateway.
I want to make sure you get the care you need. Trained in EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Expressive Therapies, I bring a range of tools that are both evidence-based and personally honoring — approaches that respect your unique story while drawing on what we know works. Whether that means processing difficult memories, finding new ways to tell your story, or ex
Reaching out when you're struggling takes courage, and I don't take that lightly. Finding someone you feel safe with matters — therapy works best when the relationship feels right. I'd love to connect, hear what you're looking for, and explore whether we'd be a good fit. I offer in-person sessions at my Heathmont clinic.

Trauma can leave life feeling layered and hard to make sense of. I create a space where that complexity is welcome. I work with adults who've experienced trauma, including victims of crime and those with self-managed NDIS funding, using EMDR, narrative therapy, and expressive approaches. Clients describe me as insightful, effective, and genuinely caring.

EMDR helps process difficult memories so they lose their grip. Narrative Therapy explores the stories you carry about yourself and opens up new ways of understanding your life. Expressive Therapies use creativity — art, movement, writing — to access what words alone sometimes can't reach. Together, these approaches offer a rich, flexible path through even the most complex experiences.
