I feel both honoured and privileged to hear people’s stories and walk alongside them in challenging times. I believe that to be seen, heard and acknowledged are basic human needs required for connection and transcend differences in gender, culture, life experience, status and beliefs. I have a background in childhood trauma, attachment, parenting, family relationships, adult crisis intervention, acute mental health hospital care and group therapy. I currently work adults in private practice treating a wide range of mental health challenges, and I specialise in anxiety, depression and trauma.

Are you grappling with profound feelings of loss, anxiety, depression, stress or hopelessness? These feelings can stem from various life experiences, such as the death of a loved one, relationship breakdowns, career changes, or the overwhelming pressures of daily life and more. Each of these challenges can leave you feeling isolated, unworthy, and depleted. Maybe you feel like you're at a crossroads or burnout. Your goals may include finding peace amidst chaos, healing from past wounds, or developing healthier coping mechanisms. You might wish to rediscover a sense of purpose or even deepen your relationship with God.
