I enjoy working collaboratively to create a shared sense of the goals and process of therapy. My work is informed by clinical psychology within a psychodynamic framework, my training in somatic psychotherapy, and a deep interest in the intersection of the mind, body, emotions and spirit. As well as the more conventional approaches of clinical psychology I make active use of my background in yoga, meditation and creative arts therapies. My approach is guided by assisting you to identify your deeper life callings and to identifying how you might make these more central to your lived experience. I have presented aspects of my work at conferences in Australian capital cities and internationally in Berlin and Berne, Switzerland. As well as my work as a therapist I am a musician, gardener and nature lover.  

I aim to create a warm compassionate environment so you feel supported, safe and heard as you navigate through difficulties that life brings. I hold sessions via telehealth and can provide both therapy and diagnostic assessment for ADHD and Autism. My therapy style is both trauma informed and neuro-affirming. I predominately work with adolecents and adults.
