Philosophy & Vision

I am an Existential & Psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapist based in Fitzroy North, Melbourne.

I work with individuals to bring speech to their suffering - to take account of and explore hitherto uncovered aspects of themselves. Through this process, we find relief from existential malaise, anxiety, and the multitude of symptoms that blanket our being-in-the-world with unnecessary weight. Ultimately creative, the process leads to the transformation of overdetermined issues into a spaciousness particular to each individual; facilitating the circumscribing of their particular desire in the service of living more freely.

Background

I have previous studies in Psychology, Neuroscience and Eastern Philosophy and currently working toward a PhD through the lens of Psychoanalysis. In addition, I am a lecturer in Psychology and Counselling at the Cairnmillar Institute.
