I'm a Masters qualified counsellor credentialed in Australia with over ten years of professional work experience. I aim to bring a warm and friendly curiosity to my work and am inspired by the strength, resilience, and creativity I witness in those seeking support to cope with difficulties in their professional and personal lives.
I have spent the last several years working with individuals experiencing a variety of challenges, including trauma, addiction, relationship issues, depression, stress, and anxiety. I also had the privilege of working in the inaugural team of therapists facilitating the Matrix Program®, an internationally known intensive outpatient program for substance dependence not previously available in my state.
I utilize a variety of evidence-based and trauma-informed strategies to assist those I am working with to develop clarity, competence, courage, and connection so they can move through the complexities of life with a sense of balance, meaning, personal agency and hope.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
