Altona, VIC 3018
Drawing on CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR, I support clients to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, develop effective coping strategies, process trauma, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
Many of the adults I work with have trauma and experience anxiety, depression, or personality-related difficulties, and often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and others. They seek a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic space where they can explore their experiences, process emotions, gain insight, and develop practical coping strategies. Their goals include fostering self-acceptance, strengthening relationships, building resilience, and living more authentically. Ultimately, they want to move from merely surviving to truly thriving — feeling grounded and empowered.

Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact our emotional well-being and mental health. Often people tell me they have not felt comfortable discussing sexuality with other therapists and seek me out to explore issues of concern without judgement. As an accredited psychosexual therapist and mental health social worker I have worked for nearly 30 years supporting people to improve their sexual and interpersonal relationships, manage depression, anxiety, low self esteem, body image issues, sexual pleasure post trauma, grief, loss, communication difficulties and other concerns.
