Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who have spent a long time holding things together for others. They may be navigating trauma, burnout, parenting challenges, or the quiet exhaustion of trying to live in environments that don’t quite fit. Some are exploring their neurodivergence for the first time, while others are parents or practitioners seeking a deeper understanding. I offer a reflective, collaborative space to make sense of these experiences and find ways of living that feel more aligned and sustainable.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others. Perhaps you're navigating grief, anxiety, identity concerns, or the pressure to keep everything together while struggling inside. You want clarity, relief, and to feel more like yourself again. You’re seeking space to talk openly, be heard without judgement, and explore what matters to you with someone who will walk alongside you, not direct you. You're not broken you just need a place to be understood.

I get that talking or opening up is daunting for many people! For over 15 years I’ve supported people wanting to enhance the way they deal with life's challenges or make changes to themself no longer serving them well. My approach is to provide practical support to get you feeling some ease and relief, both efficiently and affordably. This includes resources to use outside of the sessions in your everyday life. I have extensive experience working with substance use, anger, anxiety, low mood, stress and more with both men and women.

I am a clinical psychologist who supports new and expectant fathers and mothers experiencing low mood, anxiety, birth trauma, perinatal loss, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent. I enjoy supporting parents to adjust, develop confidence in themselves, and build a stronger connection with their baby. I also have a growing practice offering psychological and educational assessments for school-aged children across Melbourne and Shepparton. These assessments help families, educators, and support services better understand how a child thinks, learns, and experiences the world.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
