I specialise in trauma informed care and have a deep understanding of the complex and long-lasting impacts it can have on you. In some cases, therapy itself can be a source of more trauma. Your safety is my highest priority as we work together and empower you to have a say in how we approach your symptoms. There is no one size fits all and so with your feedback, we will find the best suited interventions for you.

I work with adults navigating grief, life transitions, and chronic disorganisation, including hoarding. You might be facing loss from death, separation, illness, ageing, or other major changes, or feeling overwhelmed by clutter and chaos at home. Emotions such as guilt, anger, numbness, longing, shame, or confusion can be exhausting. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to make sense of your experience and begin to take manageable steps forward.

Heathmont, VIC 3135
Recovering from trauma is hard work. It can leave you questioning who you are, doubting your instincts, and feeling out of control — often just when you hoped things were finally easing. The storm has a way of arriving uninvited, touching every part of your life: your relationships, your sense of purpose, even your sense of safety. Having a counsellor who shows up consistently — with skill, warmth, and the ability to sit with you in the hard parts — can make the difference between barely surviving and genuinely healing. I welcome referrals through the Victims Assistance Program, WorkSafe, and Carers Gateway.

I am a registered clinical counsellor. I use Emotion-Focused Therapy as my main mode of practice. EFT is Person Centred/Humanistic. It is based on the Attachment and Identity theory. It also means that in therapy, I prioritise working on emotions. You may have learned to avoid and suppress your feelings, or they may have overwhelmed you. In therapy, I aim to support you in befriending and welcoming your feelings so they become a resource as they are meant to be and not a hindrance.
