Hi there! I'm Adam (he/him), a registered psychologist practicing in Melbourne's Carlton North. I work with adults who want to create more intentional and meaningful lives, whatever that might look like to them. I'm especially interested in supporting LGBTQIA+ wellbeing, tackling sex and relationship challenges (like intimacy issues, compulsive sexual behaviours, infidelity and break-ups, or navigating non-traditional relationship structures), and helping people break free from unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving (like critical self-talk, procrastination, or perfectionism).

Sometimes life can just feel hard, and you might not be quite sure why. Perhaps you feel like stress is mounting, or find yourself anxious, or often feel depressed. Maybe you have difficulties with relationships, or know that you have a history of trauma, but have never explored it in depth. You might be starting to think about making some changes, but might be unsure where to start. Using a warm, collaborative approach and a range of evidence-based therapies, together we will explore and understand the difficulties you bring to the therapy room, change long-standing patterns, and help you build new ways of coping and being.
