I have training with adolescents and adults at community and private settings.
Do you find yourself overthinking, feeling guilty when you try to set boundaries, or caught in repeating patterns that leave you feeling drained and burnt out? I work with young women who are highly self-aware, yet still find it hard to break out of these cycles. It can feel confusing and frustrating, like insight alone isn’t enough to create change. I offer a warm, and safe space, where we can gently explore what’s beneath this and help you feel more grounded, clear, and able to show up in your life with more confidence and internal trust.

Essendon North, VIC 3041
Are you feeling overwhelmed by complex trauma or navigating life as a neurodivergent adult? Many of my clients seek targeted support for emotional dysregulation, attachment struggles, or the weight of unmanaged trauma. They require a therapeutic space that is not only evidence-based but neuro-affirming, culturally responsive, and practical. They want clear steps and a clinician who explains the "why" behind every intervention. We help by prioritizing stabilization, moving at a pace that ensures psychological safety while building usable strategies for daily life.

Every consultation uses a structured biopsychosocial framework reviewing physical, mental, lifestyle and social health, supported by validated clinical scales. Clients receive a written visual report with integrative treatment recommendations, lifestyle and psychosocial guidance, and targeted referral pathways- back to the existing care team or out to relevant clinical modalities. My role is adjunctive rather than first-line, for people 16+ years of age who are clinically-stable. I work alongside the patient’s GP, psychiatrist or psychologist to add a research-led, whole-person perspective.

My ideal client is someone who is open to exploring the connections between their trauma and life experiences and how this has impacted their lives in positive and negative ways. I like to work with clients that are action and goal oriented, as I like to set homework tasks and brain training exercises to re-wire their thinking in a healthier and more functional way.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
