Hello, I'm so glad you found me here. It takes courage to reach out and ask for support and I would be honoured to walk with you on your healing journey.
I am credentialed in Australia with 6 years of professional counselling work experience and prior to that 14 years of counselling support within community organisations. I have extensive experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, work and relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach is warm and nurturing because I believe starting therapy doesn't need to be hard or scary. You can feel safe with me.
I am excited for the journey ahead and I am ready to get started to support you to be the best version of yourself with less stress and more ease.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
