About Me
I’m a passionate therapist who holds a high standard of practice and shows up to every session with integrity, grounded presence, and warmth.
I have lived experience of mental and physical health challenges and was inspired to enter the field due to feeling that I could make a difference in people’s lives in a meaningful way.
Having engaged in therapy myself, I also have an understanding of how to create meaningful change by engaging in therapeutic processes.
Diagnosis and Assessment
While, as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I am not able to offer clinical diagnoses and formal assessments, I have a broad understanding of a number of clinical presentations that you may bring. For example:
Bipolar
Major Depression
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder
ADD and ADHD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder
If you are not sure if I can help you based on another diagnosis, I will happily discuss this with you before booking in a session.

Contact.
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, particularly if you are used to going it alone or find it difficult to talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.
If you are curious about whether we would be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a no-obligation enquiry call.
Please note that as a psychotherapist I cannot provide Medicare rebates.
