I am dedicated to ensuring a supportive base is present for you and do this through open communication, collaboration, and fostering a sense of belonging. My background in research and evidence-based treatment, coupled with my client-centered approach, ensures that your needs and goals will be addressed collaboratively using evidenced-based treatment approaches that are tailored specifically for you to ensure they are effective.
I enjoy working with a variety of clients from adolescents to retirees, with an interest in a broad spectrum of difficulties including anxiety, low mood, trauma, stress, relationship issues, substance abuse, behavioural problems, and life transitions. Each stage of life presents unique challenges, and I find great fulfilment in providing support to my clients throughout their journey.
I specialise in a range of psychological treatments that are backed by solid research outcomes including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), interpersonal therapy, and psychosomatic treatment.
I work with struggles across the mental health spectrum including:
• LGBTQIA+ identifying clients
• Trauma (PTSD/complex trauma/intergenerational trauma)
• Anxiety (generalised anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, specific phobias etc.)
• Mood disorders/depression/dysthymia
• Relationship challenges
• Navigating young adulthood and other life transitions
• Emotional difficulties and personality disorders
• Stress/burnout
• Coaching and decision making
I hold full registration with the Psychology Board of Australia. Outside of work, I find solace in the great outdoors, whether it's exploring the bush or riding the waves while surfing. In addition to my passion for surfing, I enjoy practicing yoga and going for runs along the beach with my dog. It's during these moments of connection with nature that I find balance and rejuvenation.
I love the unique blend of expertise, cultural diversity, and passion for mental health I bring to my sessions. If we seem like we might be a good fit, I look forward to working with you! If not, I hope you find the right person to help you soon!
