Psychotherapist, PACFA
Fitzroy North, VIC 3068
Therapy provides a safe space to explore issues and practice new ways of being and the potential for healing from 'stuckness' or a clinical condition. The relationship with the therapist is most important in therapy, so feel free to give me a call to see if we connect. I'm registered with WorkCover (Worksafe Victoria) and specialise in helping those with trauma and workplace injury, psychological or physical, as well as ongoing medical conditions and health problems. I have training in psychodynamic and body-oriented approaches (somatics) and EMDR, as well as cognitive-behavioural (CBT) approaches like ACT.

Psychotherapist, ACA-L4

Maybe you’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand yourself. You know where some of your patterns come from and might find yourself thinking, “I know this isn’t rational,” “Why am I still affected by this?” or “I should be able to handle this by now” — yet knowing that doesn’t always change how you feel. You may also be someone who makes space for everyone else, while questioning whether your own feelings or needs are too much. Sometimes insight is only part of the picture. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to minimise your experience or worry about taking up too much space.

Have you ever wondered why life seems harder than it looks for everyone else? Perhaps you’ve spent years feeling different, repeating the same patterns, or working against your own brain rather than with it? I help adults better understand themselves so that change happens and sticks. I have a particular interest in ADHD and LGBTQIA+ mental health, while also supporting people with anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, perfectionism and life transitions. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s keeping you stuck and build a life that fits who you are.

Let’s be honest. Walking into therapy can feel intimidating. The old-school image of psychology is still very “serious face, intimidating suit, big words you didn’t ask for.” That’s not what happens here. I’m a psychologist who genuinely believes therapy shouldn’t feel like you’re being analysed under fluorescent lighting. It should feel collaborative, clear & human. You deserve support that makes sense in real life. No "hacks". My approach is simple. I get to know you properly. We figure out what’s getting in your way. And we build tools that actually work in your day-to-day life. No unnecessary jargon.
