Hello and welcome.

I am glad you have taken some time to find out about me and the work I do.

As a Psychologist and therapist, I support adults, young people and couples to navigate life’s challenges in a respectful and non-judgemental manner. Currently based in Perth, I have worked in counselling and psychology for over 20 years now in both rural and urban settings. A curiosity for people and their stories is central to my practice. I enjoy exploring a range of tricky problems that can bother big and small people, including anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and relationship issues.

The experience of traumatic stress can compromise our capacity to engage fully in a life of joy, calm and connection. With a particular interest in understanding how trauma interrupts our relationship with our physical body as well as our relationship with our Self and others, I practice in a trauma informed and responsive manner across the lifespan. My strength-based and mind-body approach to therapy supports people to navigate their lives with more clarity and calm. I have an integrative approach to psychotherapy including Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed therapy. My practice is informed by poly-vagal theory as a way to understand the body’s response to stress and helping us to move to a state of safety.
