Hello, I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) trauma-informed therapist who offers daily strategies to support you in the present and deep transformative change to process the past and plan for the future. In Internal Family Systems therapy we heal emotional wounds, reconnect you with your authentic Self, and support you to develop more meaningful relationships to create deep, fulfilling transformative change and to live life in line with your values. I am based in Hobart and I offer online appointments Australia wide. I am also an ACA Accredited Clinical Supervisor seeing counsellors for individual and group supervision.
I have an holistic, Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS-informed) approach that helps you to heal deeply. I have a warm, friendly, compassionate, and insightful approach that creates a safe space where you feel truly understood. As a Clinical Counsellor (PACFA), I provide professional expertise, ensuring clients feel confident safe and welcome in my care.
Whether you're looking to improve your relationships, heal past wounds, or simply find more peace within, we can work together to uncover the path that feels right for you. If you’re ready to begin this journey or have any questions, I invite you to reach out. Let's explore how we can make meaningful change, at your pace, and in a way that works best for you

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma or relationship issues. During our initial session, we will explore the issues, and collaborate to create a plan for helping you get your life back.
