  • PACFA, AASW

I am a qualified and registered Australian therapist with five years of professional experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges.

I work with clients experiencing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ related concerns, low self-esteem, motivation difficulties, and challenges with focus, concentration and memory.

My approach is warm, inclusive and strengths-based. I believe you are the expert in your own story and already hold many of the strengths needed to create meaningful change. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where we can explore what is happening for you and develop practical strategies that feel right for your life.

Reaching out for support can take courage. By taking this first step, you have already begun moving toward the change you are looking for.

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.
