I place an emphasis on a respectful relationship where thoughts and feelings are treated with sensitivity and honesty. I provide a supportive and relaxed environment, and believe that no thought or feeling deserves judgment in therapy. I enjoy helping people with anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, trauma, problems with assertiveness, anger, behavioural problems, and relationship issues. I hope to offer people an opportunity to understand what is happening inside themselves that is causing their suffering, to build skills to regulate anxiety, to gain stability in relationships, and to heal and unlock potential.
My practice is informed by the psychodynamic model of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), while also incorporating aspects of CBT and mindfulness. I obtained my formal training of Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne and have worked across contexts including at schools, universities, aged-care homes, and in private clinics.
I believe that a wish to get better and willingness to looking inside oneself are essential for successful therapy. I enjoy helping people regain a sense of control over their mind, build awareness of what is causing their suffering, and to heal. Starting therapy can be tricky, so feel free to contact me for an initial chat and we can go from there.

I believe the most important factors for successful therapy are your willingness to look inwards and your motivation to reduce your suffering. I will invite you to face and work through internal conflicts, while also making sure that we go at the pace that is right for you.

While being trained extensively in CBT I now prefer to focus on short term psychodynamic approaches, and I am particularly influenced by Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). This approach aims at getting 'at the root' of your suffering, rather than 'trimming the branches'.
