About Me

Empowering You to Achieve Your Goals

I am a flexible clinician who works predominantly with teens and adults. 

My passion for suicide prevention has driven previous work as a crisis mentor and in-shift supervisor at Lifeline. I have also devoted research interest to reducing the stigma around highly sensitive topics in both the public and mental health arena.  I have a special interest in supporting parents, teens and adults struggling with symptoms of ADHD and consider it a privilege to walk the journey, supporting you to discover the unique and incredible individual you are.  
I have experience working with a broad range of mental health challenges including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Trauma
  • Panic disorders
  • Phobias
  • Mood or emotion regulation difficulties
  • ADHD 


My work is guided by a trauma-informed approach in all areas, with the belief that healing starts in a space where you feel deeply heard, understood, and supported.


My favourite therapy modalities include:

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Schema Therapy 
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
  • Interpersonal Therapy
  • Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS)


Whether a circumstance be simple, or complex, I attend to my clients with sincerity and compassion.
