With over two decades of clinical experience, my therapeutic approach involves a combination of the modalities outlined below. The underpinning nature of my work comes from an existential perspective where the nature of one’s experience and meaning are examined. Essentially we try to make sense of our surroundings, trying to understand ourselves, other people, and their place in the world. This view of ourselves is created by the influences of time, place, culture, society and family. These influences and experiences help in shaping the character and personalities of ourselves as individuals but also our place in this world.

Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General

Aside from the common depression and anxiety, I also work with adjustment difficulty, culture shock, family conflict and grief.
As a young immmigrant, I understand how it feels like to live between two worlds. The struggle of fitting in with Australian culture while maintaining traditional values, the question of listening to your parents or following your heart, the generational trauma that never got addressed until it passed on. We feel like outsiders, never truly belong anywhere.

Working through life's difficulties and living with pain can at times feel like it's more than we can handle, but these are also often the seasons where meaningful change starts to happen. Receiving support can be the difference between the outcomes we want and the ones we don't. Especially when that support feels genuinely safe and contained.

I am an authentic and bubbly French-Australian human who made the decision to become a counsellor after my own lived experiences of mental and physical health struggles. Born in rural France, where none ever talked about mental health, I began my adult life as a high-achieving corporate professional who believed the only approach to life’s problems was to “get on with it” and just find a way to keep going. Until I realised this didn’t actually work effectively or wholeheartedly and discovered that mental health is a real, normal, valid part of being a human. I now walk the talk and value my physical, mental, emotional health.
