I am an accredited social worker with a graduate certificate in forensic mental health. I work with people experiencing anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem and challenging life transitions. My approach is holistic—recognising that true growth involves not just the mind, but the body, spirit and environment as well.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that within you lie strengths and insights that can help you move through even the most difficult times. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, tools, and a grounded presence as you step into a more empowered and fulfilling version of you.
With this vision in mind, I’ve founded my own holistic healing business, dedicated to helping others reconnect with themselves on a deeper level through therapy, mindfulness, and holistic practice.
I don’t just look at the past in my sessions, I like to look at the present moment and how I can support you to improve your mindset to move forward with more ease and clarity.
My support is compassionate and caring, but also honest. To ensure the best outcome in therapy, I ask that you communicate with me as much as possible about how you’re feeling - this allows me to support you in the best way possible and provide the best outcomes during therapy.
Taking that first step towards growth and change takes courage, and I’m here to support you on your journey.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
