Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but at the heart of therapy is connection—and that’s what I try my best to prioritize! 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 and 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".

When we’ve experienced trauma, or ongoing stressors, our nervous system adapts to protect us—but those survival patterns can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected, & overwhelmed. You might notice repeating cycles in relationships, struggles with trust or self-worth, or difficulty regulating emotions. Maybe you’re navigating addiction / alcoholism, codependency, or the impact of a loved one’s substance use. Whatever your struggle, change & healing are possible. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore what’s keeping you stuck, restore a sense of inner security, & reconnect with a life of meaning and fulfilment.

I am a Doctor of Clinical Psychology who trained in the UK and has worked in England, New Zealand and now Australia. My main interest is understanding the meaning behind an individual's suffering. My philosophy is that diagnoses act as a potential obstacle to truly understanding the reality of an individual's experience. Therefore, in practice, I try to refrain from medicalising someone's misery and instead be open to perceiving people's expressions of distress as often logical, rational, predictable and understandable reactions to some form of neglect, abuse, loss and/or trauma.
