My website
Many of my clients come to therapy wanting to understand long-held patterns, improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, or find a clearer sense of direction. Some people come to therapy knowing what they would like to work on or discuss, others don’t, and we use the space to explore why they might be feeling off. I usually see adolescents and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, relationship concerns, eating disorders & the transition to motherhood.
My approach is relational and psychodynamic — we’ll spend time understanding the patterns underneath what’s going on, not just managing symptoms. I also draw on EMDR, Schema Therapy, CBT, and DBT depending on what fits. I have a particular interest in trauma and perinatal mental health.
I’m a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed clinician and welcome clients of all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. I offer in-person sessions in Carlton North & telehealth across Australia. If you’re considering therapy, feel free to reach out with any questions, or visit my website for more information.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, or the disorientation of big life transitions—new parenthood, relationship change, or simply not recognising your own life. In our early sessions, we'll explore what's underneath and build a plan together. Most clients notice symptoms easing within the first few weeks, with deeper change unfolding over the following months.

My main approach is psychodynamic therapy, which looks at the deeper patterns behind how you feel and relate to others. For eating disorders, I use a specific form of this called Focal Psychodynamic Therapy. For trauma, I use EMDR to help process difficult experiences. And I bring in Dialectical Behaviour therapy in to build practical skills for managing emotions and relationships day to day.
