My work is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, supported by evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy.
My ideal client is someone who has carried the weight of responsibility for far too long: men, veterans, parents, and individuals navigating relationship strain, emotional fatigue, or a loss of direction. Often, they are the dependable ones, the "rocks" for others, but silently wrestling with stress, disconnection, or inner turmoil. They want someone who gets it, they want to break patterns that no longer serve them, reconnect with their values, and take action that feels honest and grounded. Their goal is not to be "fixed," but to become more aligned: emotionally, mentally, and relatationally.

Parkdale, VIC 3195
I offer therapy sessions in-person in a cozy room in Parkdale, or online via video.
I love working creatively with people, especially with children. Children are playful and curious, and I love to lean into that during sessions. The main way children learn and encounter the world is through play, which is why a large proportion of my therapy time with children is play-based. Using expressive and play-based therapy with children supports their emotional, social and cognitive development and gives them non-verbal ways of expressing their emotional destress and working through challenges like anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and unique challenges related to neurodivergence.

I meet with clients in person and online, providing a confidential, non-judgemental space to those seeking immediate and ongoing support.
Do you find yourself reacting strongly to things that shouldn’t feel so overwhelming, or noticing emotional and relationship patterns that don’t seem to make sense? If you struggle with low mood, anxiety, anger, emotional ups and downs, or coping strategies that no longer serve you, you’re not alone. I work with clients to gently explore and make sense of difficult thoughts, uncomfortable emotions, unhelpful behaviours, and challenging relationships. Together, we can identify what’s getting in the way of your wellbeing and work toward meaningful, lasting change that helps you feel more grounded, resilient, and at ease in your life.

You can attend therapy either in person or online.
While it's natural to engage in pleasurable activities & behaviours, when that engagement becomes compulsive, overwhelming, and out-of-control, the negative consequences can become destructive & unmanageable, especially when addicted to Sex & Porn. We sometimes adopt these behaviours as a means of gaining momentary relief from any pain, anxiety, or trauma that exists in our lives, but regularly feel intense shame and despair after acting out sexually. Then, shame & isolation serve to maintain the addictive cycle, as the problem becomes more complex & often impacts our intimate partner. Don't despair: Help and recovery is available!

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
