I am a professional, warm and empathic therapist with over 15 years of experience working with a range of individuals and groups from private and not-for-profit organisations throughout Australia.

I have a holistic and evidence-based approach to therapy and have a passion for helping people make the changes they need to improve the quality of their lives.

My education includes a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) from Swinburne University (VIC) and a first-class Honours degree in Psychology from the University of the Sunshine Coast (QLD).

With a focus on wholistic well-being, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults experiencing a range of complex concerns including Abuse, Trauma, Family Violence, Separated Families, Child/Parent/Family conflict, Mental Health, and Staff well-being and have extensive experience in Relationship Counselling.
