Individual Therapy
I provide individual therapy, using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Schema Therapy. I am passionate about mind-body-spirit connection and in my work I am weaving in Somatic and Breathwork Therapies, indigenous wisdom, expressive arts and nature based approaches.
I am an integrative and holistic psychologist. Integrative means that I incorporate everything I know into my work with you. Holistic means that I treat your mind, body and spirit as equally important and I engage with all three during our work together. Sometimes, if I think you may benefit from additional support, I will recommend a trusted practitioner who may help you in a way I cannot - such as massage therapist, naturopath, osteopath, kinesiologist, etc.
I offer a relaxed environment, indoors, outdoors or online, to co-create an individualised plan and work towards positive change in your life.
I offer space to work with the body, exploring how trauma and our social and individual histories can impact your relationships and day-to-day lives.
I believe we are all interdependent, I see growth as non-linear. I believe in the potential of imagining, dreaming and becoming (not just being). I tend to envision life as a cycle of repeating patterns and practice and I believe that what we practice, grows.
When working with me you will experience an invitation to practices like imagining, dreaming, breathing, resting, playfulness, radical acceptance, (self) compassion and love, resilience, connecting with nature and journaling.
I provide Psychological Interventions, Breathwork Assisted Therapy and a combination of both.
Flexible options for therapy and Telehealth
I am pleased to offer sessions via video conferencing or phone when Telehealth is preferred.

I offer space both indoors and outdoors spaces from my practice located near Maitland, 131 Anambah Rd, Anambah.

Breathwork Therapy
I am passionate about delivering a tailored suport to my clients' unique needs and I understand that at times and for some of us more traditionally understood 'talk therapy' does not fit or feel right. That is why I offer Breathwork Therapy that you can use as an alternative or we can integrate sessions in both modalities when creating a plan and a map of how to address your needs and desires for therapy.
I offer Breathwork Therapy sessions, both 1 on 1 and in a group setting, in person or online via Zoom. It is a simple, safe yet powerful practice that allows for self-exploration, self-awareness and relaxation. It is a branch of Somatic Therapies that focus on mind-body-spirit connection.

I offer group workshops, experiential and knowledge based. I long to co-create a community where participants have an opportunity to deeply explore their inner landscapes, their longings and purpose, connect around similar life struggles or simply share, yarn, play and be together.
