About Me
I see therapy as a collaborative journey—one where I support you in exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with greater self-awareness, insight, and clarity.
I often describe my role as that of a facilitator or psychological midwife—guiding you through the process of birthing the most authentic version of yourself. This work involves deep self-reflection, uncovering unconscious patterns, and nurturing personal growth. When we align with our true selves, we make more intentional choices, cultivate healthier relationships, and create more fulfilling lives.
My Background
Before becoming a registered psychologist, I worked in the public sector across human resources, industrial relations, and policy development. My desire to work more directly with people led me to complete a Master of Psychology (Counselling) at Curtin University. I have since worked with Relationships Australia before transitioning into private practice, where I now divide my time between psychological counselling and public sector adoption assessment work.
Who I Work With
I provide therapy for individuals (18+), couples, and families, helping them navigate a range of challenges, including:
- Anxiety & Stress Management
- Anger & Emotional Regulation
- Bullying & Workplace Issues
- Depression & Mood Concerns
- Domestic Violence Support
- Grief, Loss & Life Transitions
- Parenting Challenges
- Relationship & Communication Issues
My Approach
I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet each client’s unique needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)– Managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviours for lasting change
- Interpersonal Therapy– Strengthening communication and relationship dynamics
- Schema Therapy– Identifying and reshaping deeply rooted patterns
- Solution-Focused Therapy– Practical strategies for moving forward
- Mindfulness-Based Approaches– Enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation
