I provide a safe, non-judgmental, collaborative environment where you can be heard. I have worked as a paramedic and am a trained mediator. My humanistic philosophy means I value individual differences, cultural diversity and the strengths that each of us brings to problem-solving. I am interested in working with adults to identify underlying patterns that keep us stuck, wrestling or discontented.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based psychological care, with a particular focus on supporting individuals and couples through complex and often deeply personal challenges. I have two key areas of expertise:

First Responders

I offer specialised support to first responders — including police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and emergency personnel — who are managing the psychological impacts of trauma and occupational stress. This includes assistance with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, substance use, and emotional burnout. Drawing on trauma-informed therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, my approach is practical and recovery-oriented. With a background in emergency services, I understand the unique pressures of frontline roles and work to support long-term resilience and self-management.

Couples Therapy

I work with couples experiencing a wide range of relational concerns — from communication breakdowns and conflict to infidelity, emotional distance, intimacy issues, and sexual incongruence. My approach is collaborative, inclusive, and goal-focused, informed by frameworks such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and cognitive-behavioural interventions. I welcome and affirm all types of couples, including same-sex and gender-diverse partnerships. Whether you're working to rebuild trust, deepen connection, or navigate a major life transition, therapy offers a safe and structured space to strengthen your relationship.

With a background in private and public health services, I have specialist experience in health psychology, pain management and rehabilitation in varied settings. Much of my training and work has included assisting those who have been affected by trauma and anxiety. I also have an ongoing personal and professional interest in optimal health and wellbeing, including diet, exercise and behavioural change, as well as insomnia and sleep disorders.

I am passionate about holistic health and blend together methodologies from modern science and ancient teachings to form an integrative health approach. An experienced yoga and meditation teacher, I use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and CBT-I (Insomnia), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and mindfulness based approaches. I am also trained in the use of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and EMDR (Eye Movement desensitisation Reprocessing).

I am a certified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT Australia) with specialist training in Trauma Focussed CBT (TF-CBT Australia). I am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family System Therapy, and Solution Focussed Brief Therapy.

I have a particular interest in using interventions based on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and a Narrative Therapy approach using a creative therapy framework and hold certificates in Drama Therapy (The Dramatherapy Centre Sydney) and certifications in Psychodrama (AANZPA).

My area of specialisation is in Child and Adolescent psychology. With extensive experience in child protection and work across government (DCJ and JIRT) and non-government agencies (e.g. Brighter Futures) across 15 years, I have worked in youth mental health (12-30 years of age) at Headspace since 2016. I work with children, adolescents, and young people (12 to 30 years old) as well as significant others from their support network, and have worked for the Fit4life program, young parents’ program, and residential programs such as Boystown and Windgap Foundation.

My special interest is in youth mental health, individual and intergenerational trauma, complex family systems, brain-body interaction and the science-practitioner model.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen and heard—without judgment, without pressure. My approach centres on creating a sense of safety and trust, where we work together to explore your experiences, challenges, and goals. Every person’s story is unique, and I’m committed to tailoring therapy to what works best for you, offering both support and practical tools to help you move forward.

I work with many clients but am especially passionate about supporting First Responders and their families. Growing up in a military family, I faced the challenges of service life—frequent relocations, adapting to change, and the emotional complexities of having a parent in uniform. These experiences have shaped my empathy and commitment to helping those who dedicate their lives to serving others. To further support this community, I volunteer with First Responder support organisations, ensuring I continue to learn and give back to those who do so much for our communities.

Before becoming a psychologist, I worked in television production and lived in different parts of the world while raising my family. These experiences gave me firsthand insight into the challenges of change, uncertainty, and starting over. Making a significant career transition myself deepened my appreciation for the complexities of life’s unexpected turns. While everyone’s journey is unique, these experiences allow me to approach my work with a genuine understanding of adaptation, resilience, and the emotional weight that transitions can carry.

I provide therapy for concerns, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, grief, moral injury, and relationship challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychoeducation, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I am a trained EMDR therapist and SIRA-accredited. Nonetheless, I always emphasise the importance of exploring what works best for you, ensuring we develop a tailored and practical plan to help you move forward.

I enjoy baking (and making a mess in the kitchen), doing crafts, and taking my dog for short walks when I'm not at work.

My aim is to leave you feeling better and more empowered than when we met.

I am passionate about Narrative Therapy which centres you as the experts in your own life. I value the opportunity to view problems as separate from you and co-researching the skills, competencies, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities that you have to reduce the influence of problems in your life.

I appreciate learning the stories of your life and supporting you as you negotiate with grief and loss, depression, trauma, stress, anxiety, deconstructing and reconstructing spirituality, considerations of identity and sexuality, challenges of immigration, navigating polyamorous relationships and ongoing health challenges.

I am registered with Medibank Private, Bupa, HCF and the Australian Regional Health Group (ARHG). Other funds may provide cover for counselling; please confirm your entitlements with your provider. Sessions are also available under WorkCover NSW and the NDIS.

Through my life and work experience, I have continuously been drawn to better understanding attachment relationships, and their influence on the choices we make and the people we surround ourselves with. It is often through these unconscious choices that we find ourselves repeating patterns and feeling stuck. I love working with adolescents and adults, individuals and couples, helping you to both unpick and thread together your history and work towards meaningful relationships and intentional choices in the future.

My special interest areas include anxiety, attachment, relationship difficulties, parenting / perinatal challenges, and grief / loss. Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), I aim to provide an opportunity for you to explore the kind of person you want to be, and to help you live the life you want to, free from fear and judgment - from yourself and others.
