If you're struggling with emotional eating, binge-purge cycles, or restrictive habits—using food to soothe, control, or numb emotions, know you're not alone. If you're thinking 'yes' and want relief, you might also feel frustrated or ashamed that you can't ‘just fix it.’ You're exhausted, overwhelmed, or burnt out, juggling responsibilities without ever feeling enough. You experience emotional highs and lows, or a sense of disconnect from your body and identity when all you want is to feel at peace in your body and self.

I am passionate about helping people break through barriers that are commonly imposed by the dominant culture while finding ways to work more comfortably both inside and outside ‘the box’ to achieve goals. I've worked with clients in settings ranging from prison to university, and you can count on my acceptance ‘as you are’ without judgment while helping you recognize and recover your own strengths. I bring expertise to support you with a wide variety of concerns, and I have particularly enjoyed working with clients whose lived experience includes neurodiversity, gender diversity, and relationship diversity.

I empower people to make productive changes in their life. I work within the unique physical, mental, and emotional contexts of an individual, but pay particular attention to working through mental and emotional blocks that keep people from living a life full of health, vitality, and happiness. The core of what I do is reconnecting clients with their body so that they learn how to listen to their body and the wisdom it has to offer. We may not always like what we find there, but getting into our body transforms the way we relate to our mind, body, and the world.

I'm amongst the most prolific mindfulness based therapists (ACT, CBT, RLT & DBT) in Australasia. Key to my approach: appropriate validation, compassionate challenging, relational emphasis, the Inner Child that runs our lives. In essence, to live is to have won the lottery; but the win doesn't last indefinitely. Adult ADHD, substance dependency, relationships, grief, anxiety, parenting, doubt, feeling stuck... I believe we are all on a moving wellness continuum, & support is a logical need. Concerned by the number of people struggling to afford therapy - I adjusted my fees for these challenging times: mention how you found me.
