Passionate about supporting individuals and couples in navigating the complexities of the mind, relationships, and sexuality, I strive to help clients become their most authentic selves, fostering self-connection and healing from trauma. My therapeutic approach is warm, empathetic, and person-centred, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and desires.
I am deeply understanding of the varied challenges faced by neurodiverse young people. I recognize that neurodiversity can significantly affect daily life, including academic performance, social interactions, self-esteem, and overall well-being. This is particularly true for those who may have experienced late diagnoses or misdiagnoses, often leading to additional challenges.

I am an AHPRA registered psychologist in the Hobart area and have completed a Master of Science in Medicine (Sexual and Reproductive Health) with a specialisation in Psychosexual Therapy at the University of Sydney. I have also completed a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) and a Graduate Diploma of Sexology.
I value individual differences, particularly around neurodivergence, and believe in a collaborative and person-centred approach to therapy. My interventions are selected and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, empowering exploration of strengths, developing coping strategies, and fostering positive change in their lives.
With a trauma-informed and focused lens, I strive to address the root of many problems, acknowledging that behaviours often stem from attempts to stay safe. My expertise extends to working with neurodivergent populations and psychosexual therapy, where I help individuals and couples navigate issues related to intimacy, sexual health, and relationship dynamics, as well as shame, and education.
I am sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, kink-friendly, sex work positive, and welcoming to all relationship structures. I embrace neurodiversity, affirming the diverse identities and backgrounds of her clients.
My particular interests include:
- Sexual function/dysfunction
- Relationship issues
- LGBTQIA+
- Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD)
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodivergence
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Mood disturbances/disorders
- Anger management
- Social anxiety
- Pain management
- Stress
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
I offer support to individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, abilities, religions, and cultural backgrounds to enjoy their sexual lives free from pain, stigma, and shame.
