I am focused on creating a therapeutic space that inspires warmth, safety, care and compassion for each client. People come to therapy with a desire to feel better, typically at times of change and transition, when they may feel stuck, unmotivated or unfulfilled in their lives. This is a hard place to be, so finding a psychologist who understands you is very important. I guide adolescents and adults experiencing challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, stress, personality vulnerabilities, relationship difficulties and parenting challenges, to create an sense of empowerment, internal security and inner wisdom.

I enjoy helping persons aged 20-45 such as young professionals or uni students who may be struggling with anxiety and want to feel more calm, more often. We all experience bouts of stress, worry, and even panic, but for some this has become chronic and is holding them back personally, professionally and/or socially. When we learn how to constructively deal with our mental health challenges, we feel more at ease, more energized, and better able to pursue those things in life that nourish us and bring us joy; enabling us to thrive. As a registered Psychologist and full member of the APS, I have over 15 years experience in this field.

Do you find it difficult setting boundaries at work, feel unheard in your relationship or struggle to find joy in activities that once brought you happiness? No matter how hard you try, you’re always second-guessing your decisions and struggling to feel content with your accomplishments. These patterns can feel like a heavy burden, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, isolated and exhausted. Often, the roots of these feelings trace back to our childhoods, where patterns and beliefs about ourselves were formed. You are not alone. Many people find themselves caught in a cycle where their past impacts their daily lives.

All people of all ages can experience difficult times in their life. These may have been caused by an event that has caused distress, issues with family, friendships, relationships, the work place, health issues and countless other situations. Sometimes events have happened long ago and continue to trouble us and impact our life, or the situation may be more recent. It can be difficult to share what is happening. Often we don't want to burden or worry those who care for us; or we may feel uncomfortable talking to people we know. Counselling provides support toward finding resolutions and living life in the best way possible.
