CUA Health Psychologists and Therapists in Hawthorn, VIC
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but at the heart of therapy is connection - and that’s what I try my best to prioritise in our sessions. I believe therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or detached; it should feel like a conversation with someone who truly sees you. I work specifically with young adults aged 18 - 35, and I have a special interest in working with trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety disorders, young adults who are experiencing family and relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are experiencing identity struggles or those just feeling "stuck".

Pain has a strange way of shrinking the world. Anxiety reduces it to the next catastrophe. Depression drains it of colour. Trauma brings the past into the present. And relationships can turn love, fear and abandonment into the same story. What hurts has a history. But the next scene has not yet been written.

It gets full-on at times. Life feels demanding, people seem harsh or confusing, the hurt feels overwhelming, and the answers seem so far away. Other times, you’re left wondering what the point of it all is, and whether there is more to life. I want to help however I can. Helping people to understand themselves, navigate relationships, perceive the world more clearly, and discover meaning in life brings me great joy. Even better is helping people find their own innate resources to cope and to heal.

My ideal clients are adolescents, young adults, and adults who often look like they are coping on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted. Many struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, low self-worth, overthinking, and chronic stress. For adults, these patterns lead to burnout and exhaustion. For adolescents, this may show up as academic pressure, school disengagement, or feeling like they don’t fit in. In therapy, I provide a space to understand these patterns, build emotional regulation and boundary-setting skills, and support clients in self-worth and empowerment.

Life can challenge even the most capable among us. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, despite your strengths, you’re not alone. I understand how hard it can be to reach out, especially when you’ve always been the one others rely on. As a Clinical Psychologist, I focus on two areas: men’s mental health and couples therapy. For men, the pressure to “hold it together” often leads to burnout, anxiety, or emotional shutdown. I’m drawn to couples who feel stuck either in repeated conflict or emotional distance. I work well in complex environments when there’s a fundamental willingness to engage in the process.
