I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, relationship injury, or life-altering events — including those impacted by the Bondi attack, first responders, and people from the Jewish and LGBTIQ+ communities. Clients often come to me with PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, survivor guilt, vicarious trauma and long-standing relational difficulties, frequently linked to attachment trauma and intergenerational patterns. My approach is warm, grounded and change-orientated, integrating evidence based therapies incl. EMDR (advanced trained), Trauma-focused CBT, and Schema Therapy.
I provide evidence-based therapy for trauma, attachment, and relationship difficulties, drawing from a range of approaches including EMDR (advanced protocols), trauma-focused CBT, CPT, PE, Schema Therapy, DBT, ACT, and IPT. I am a Gottman Method Couples Therapy – Certification Candidate, working to strengthen trust, communication, and emotional safety.
I understand the impact of trauma on individuals, first responders and couples. If you want to build a stronger relationship or treat your PTSD, childhood trauma, depression and/or anxiety then I encourage you to book a free 15min phone consultation to see if I am the right psychologist for you.
