Philosophy & Vision
Many people have shared with me that while traditional talk therapy can be helpful, it sometimes doesn’t bring about the deeper change or healing they’re hoping for. That’s why I'm passionate about our holistic, integrative approach, which gently supports you in going beyond surface-level solutions and exploring the roots of your challenges.
I know this kind of therapy can take courage, but many find it opens the door to more meaningful, long-lasting change. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you on what could be a transformative journey.
Offering a space to feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment, I treat you like you matter - because you do.
Background
Prior to founding my clinic, I worked as an anxiety and depression specialist and on a specialist trauma team. Throughout my career, I have helped clients with a wide range of mental health concerns, supporting them through various challenges, heartaches, and losses—from seemingly smaller issues to the really big stuff.
While grounded in neurobiological and psychological science and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I recognise that transformative therapy requires working with you as a whole person - mind, body and soul. My own lived experience of overcoming trauma inspired my holistic, deep-change approach to therapy.?
Services
You can access my services by telehealth wherever you live in Australia. Affordable rates, Medicare rebates and appointment times outside business hours are available.
Quality Provision
With seven years of graduate and post-graduate studies, and numerous professional development trainings, I remain passionate about expanding my knowledge and skills. I regularly attend trainings, conferences, and clinical consultations both in Australia and internationally, ensuring I stay at the forefront of trauma and mental health treatment.

Therapy Approach
Whether it’s managing difficult symptoms, emotions, thoughts, habits or behaviours, relationship issues, boundary setting or low self-esteem, I help you uncover and treat the root causes with care and compassion.
This often involves addressing unconscious layers of unresolved past events, attachment experiences, or trauma stored in the mind and body. Other times, we focus on inner conflicts or developing skills and resources that will benefit you lifelong. Many clients are grateful for how quickly and profoundly working like this changes their lives.
While my approach is grounded in neurobiological and psychological science, I believe that truly transformative therapy involves seeing and working with you as a whole person.
