About me

My practice
The essence of my psychotherapy practice is a safe refuge, somewhere for you to arrive exactly as you are without judgement or the pressure to 'have it all together'. I typically work with adolescents and adults who arrive feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by school or life pressures, struggling with self-esteem or navigating difficult relationships or familial conflict. These clients arrive in need of a safe, non-judgmental space to express themselves, to feel seen and heard, receive guidance and experience presence in a sometimes chaotic and unpredictable world.
I weave together my learnings from personal experience and my studies throughout my Graduate Diploma of Counselling and Masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I integrate a wide range of therapeutic approaches - from cognitive-behavioural and narrative techniques to mindfulness, somatic work and relational practices - tailoring to the needs of the client.
Together, we work to untangle thoughts and emotions, explore what feels heavy and support you in reconnecting with your clarity. My hope is that therapy feels like a gentle exhale - grounding, honest and a reminder you don't have to navigate this on your own. If you feel ready to take the first step, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
