I feel deep compassion for the people I work with and genuinely care for their well-being. I won't try to fix you because I don't believe you're broken. Instead, I aim to reconnect you with your inherent wisdom and strength, while also offering some guidance along the way. I can support you if you are experiencing: anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, poor self-esteem, and persistent self-criticism. I am trauma-informed and sensitive to the way that difficult life experiences can affect our emotions, relationships and behaviours.

My interest lies in helping individuals living with trauma, anxiety-related disorders, interpersonal difficulties and emotional regulation issues. I help clients improve their relationship with themselves (and by extension others) through developing a self-compassionate understanding of their emotional difficulties. From this place we move forward together to process "stuck" memories and explore the development of new ways of being in the world.

Fairfield, VIC 3078
I assist couples and individuals who are experiencing relationship crises, difficulties stemming from attachment insecurity, trauma, nervous system dysregulation, anxiety and overwhelm, ongoing conflict or anger issues, communication breakdown, loss of trust and infidelity and major life transitions. I also work with couples considering ending their relationships or who have lost their spark of passion and intimacy. We are not taught how to effectively relate and often we make it up as we go along, doing the best we can with what we have learned. When relationships break down, getting support is better than struggling alone.
