My aim to walk alongside couples to help them identify their own painful cycles of disconnection—where arguments repeat, intimacy fades, and both partners feel unheard or unseen. They may be navigating betrayal, communication breakdowns, or simply the quiet ache of growing apart. My aim is to create safety where couples can learn how to exit this negative cycle, rebuild trust and reconnect with one another and create renewed and deeper bonds their relationship.

Trauma and ongoing stress can leave survival energy stuck in the nervous system. We may adapt by seeking or avoiding certain situations, or hold tension to protect ourselves from difficult feelings and sensations. While these strategies once helped us cope and survive, they can also leave us feeling trapped and disconnected. I work by joining with you with sensitivity and compassion, to bring gentle awareness and support to underlying patterns, without pressure to force change. At your pace, we create the conditions for the nervous system to gradually settle and reorganise, allowing inner security, vitality and connection to emerge.

Feeling anxious, stretched thin, or like you're carrying more than you can name? You might be living with trauma, low mood, or the exhaustion of ADHD and constant masking. Perhaps you're also moving between two cultures — Chinese and Australian — and longing for a therapist who simply gets it, in your own language. My clients are often thoughtful, sensitive, high-achieving people who feel out of sync with the world. They come wanting relief from anxiety and overwhelm, healing from trauma, and a way to feel at home in their own mind, body and identity.

You’ve tried everything- talk therapy, self-help, even deep inner work-but something is still holding you back. Trauma, repeating relationship dynamics or behaviours can keep us stuck in patterns that feel impossible to break. I help clients who are ready for a different approach-one that gets to the root of the issue. By working somatically and systemically we uncover hidden dynamics that may be keeping you trapped. Together, we’ll create a path to release old patterns, and integrate practical tools for lasting change so you can finally move forward with clarity, freedom, and ease. Your past doesn't need to govern your future.

Are you neurodivergent, or starting to wonder if you might be? Are you lost in a world not made for you and exhausted from masking? Are you in a relationship where you both seem to speak entirely different languages and nobody can figure out why? Sometimes the missing piece isn’t about effort or love, it’s understanding how our brains are wired differently.
I specialise in ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, neurodivergent women and couples, via Telehealth across Australia. Whether you’re navigating a late diagnosis, burnout, PMDD, perimenopause or relationship conflict, I offer a warm, real, neuro-affirming space. No jargon, no judgement.

I work with adults affected by trauma, stress, and overwhelming life experiences, using EMDR therapy as my primary approach. You may be living with the after-effects of childhood trauma, emotionally abusive relationships, or past events that still feel unresolved. Even if life looks “fine” on the outside, you might feel constantly on edge, not good enough, or stuck in patterns you can’t break. Trauma can leave you feeling unsafe in your own body, weighed down by shame, or disconnected from who you want to be. I focus on treating anxiety, PTSD, depression and help with difficult life events and grief and loss.
