I am a psychotherapist, Medicare approved Clinical Social Worker, a trauma trained EMDR and Eating Disorder therapist. Off late, you may have noticed emotions and thoughts continue to rule your life, and no matter how hard you try, it never feels 'good enough'. You find yourself stuck in the cycle of 'wanting to please others' while feeling unseen and unheard. You now know that your anxiety and need for control is no longer serving you. You want to start honouring yourself and your needs, even when if it feels hard.

My work is dedicated to adolescent girls and adult woman who are looking to redefine their relationship to themselves. I am dedicated to emotional safety and the mind-body-soul connection. I honour the philosophy of 'no bad parts' and truly hope to inspire women to accept themselves wholly, because every part of us has a story to tell. I help women navigate the complexities of modern life, relationship issues, anxiety, identity development, academic pressure, balancing multiple roles (such as 'mother'), burnout, defensive responses and transitional moments. I aim to help women to connect more deeply to their body, mind and spirit.
