Philosophy & Vision
I’m a holistic, trauma-informed psychotherapist who supports women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, break old patterns, and heal the parts of their past that still feel heavy. Many of the women I work with grew up in environments where they had to be strong, independent, or emotionally self-reliant, and now struggle with anxiety, relationship stress, identity shifts, people-pleasing, or low self-worth.
My approach blends person-centred therapy, ACT, mindfulness, and gentle somatic awareness to help you connect with your body, calm your nervous system, and explore your inner world at a pace that feels safe. I offer a warm, calm, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly seen and supported as you make sense of your experiences, rebuild self-trust, and create a life that feels authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you’re becoming.
Background
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I lived a less conventional life. I trained as a dancer, studied drama, and worked in the TV and film industry. Underneath it all, I was searching for belonging, shaped by early life experiences that taught me about survival, self-protection, and the quiet ache for connection.
After moving to Australia, I began my own healing journey, which led me to mental health and aged care. For 5 years, I supported people through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience deepened my empathy and affirmed my path. After studying a Master’s in Counselling, I now bring together lived experience, clinical training, and care to hold space for others.
Services
I offer both one-on-one therapy sessions and group spaces designed to support women in feeling more connected to themselves, others, and community. In individual sessions, I provide a safe, trauma-informed space to work through challenges such as trauma, relationships, self-doubt, or body image struggles, blending talk therapy with mindfulness and body-based techniques.
Alongside this, I facilitate women’s circles, workshops, and retreats, spaces where women can share openly, build meaningful connections, and experience the healing power of community. My approach is warm, inclusive, and holistic, grounded in the belief that true healing happens both within ourselves and in connection with others.

Therapy Approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy is about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I draw from person-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness, while also integrating body-based practices and trauma-informed yoga to help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. Every session is tailored to your needs, whether you are seeking to heal from past trauma, build healthier relationships, or feel more connected in your daily life. I also facilitate women’s circles and retreats, offering community spaces where healing and growth can unfold together.
