I love supporting people from all walks of life. In my approach, I see each person not merely as a diagnosis to treat in a few sessions, but as a multifaceted individual with unique experiences. As a relational therapist, I work with you to create a safe relationship grounded in trauma-informed care. Together, we recognize your enduring struggles as adaptive responses—fight, flight, or freeze mechanisms developed in early life to cope with adversity. We can explore various strategies to integrate these experiences and discover new ways of navigating your world, always with your consent, choice, and control at the forefront.

I have always had a sincere and passionate heart for people's inner wellbeing, and as a result have been actively involved in a community support role for many years. Therefore my counselling is a professional fulfillment, birthed out of my love for people. My main passion is coming alongside them and assisting them in navigating their journey of life, which at times can be difficult and challenging. It is my hope that those I counsel will experience self empowerment and flourish in their way forward.

I discovered both the joys and the true potential of effective counselling when I began working as a Case Manager for an Adelaide based VET sector provider. Being a resource person for a diverse cohort of students aged 18-64 opened a window on the barriers they faced, from challenges related to language, ability and socio-economic factors to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. In this role I learned to identify the things that hold many of us back and to focus on finding ways to move forward such as developing strategies for self-managing negative or unhelpful thoughts.

I understand that high school and university can be a particularly tough time in people's lives, and I want to be there for people as an ear to listen. Not only schooling itself can be difficult, but every aspect of our lives can be - such as family, friends, extra curricular activities, risk taking, substances, and much more. It is easy to get caught up in issues with those that we are close with, so to work with a fresh set of eyes may be useful. I love learning about people's stories and will work from a non-judgemental frame of mind, because there is nothing to be ashamed of in sharing our stories.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
