I am a registered Psychologist with extensive experience helping people to improve their daily lives and reach their true potential. My passion to make a difference in the lives of others has led to a strong interest in evidence-based approaches such as Schema Therapy, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have undertaken additional training in Schema Therapy and am particularly passionate about this approach. I aim to build a warm, comfortable and collaborative space for people to improve their wellbeing through evidence-based interventions.

I work primarily with trauma, substance use issues/addictions. I work with you to shed the layers of your trauma, heal unresolved wounds, and create a life that you don’t need to numb yourself to and escape from. With lived experience of trauma and substance addiction, I understand how trauma, especially from our childhood, can impact every aspect of our lives. And, how we can easily find ourselves trying to cope with behaviours that become more and more problematic.

I have a strong interest in supporting women and girls to foster a positive self-image through self-compassion and self-awareness. My work centres on recognising and processing trauma, as well treating depression, anxiety, body-image dissatisfaction, grief, and relationship difficulties. I also work with women through the perinatal and postnatal period. In addition to therapeutic work, I conduct clinical assessments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and seek to facilitate empowered and affirming relationships with neurodiversity.

Reclaim your authenticity and fully embody your magnificent self! I know you're probably really good at making it look like things are going well on the outside, but you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, & like you’ve lost sight of who you really are. Maybe you're exhausted from people-pleasing, anxious in your relationships, stressed, unfulfilled at work or stuck in a cycle of burnout, shame, and self-doubt. You may have a deep sense that your past experiences- especially early relational trauma- are still impacting how you show up in the world no matter how much insight you have. But, your past doesn't need to be your future!
