PACFA Registered Practicing Member No. 32031

I became a therapist because through my own family’s struggles, I saw first hand the value of having support and understanding of things that few others in our lives could understand. Therapy was a safety net to help my kids and I get back on our feet emotionally and start to move forward in positive steps. This is the support I offer in my therapy space. A place to be heard, explore what is happening both within and around you, and support to make any changes you choose.

I work with young people (I’m also a part-time School Counsellor), using Play Therapy with kids and art, games and talking with teenagers to connect and build a comfortable space to explore ideas, connections, problems or “stuckness”. I also work with adults who are seeking support and guidance in any of life’s challenges, including relationships. Together we will find ways forward.

I provide the use of art and drawing techniques, somatic/ movement therapy, and mindfulness techniques to support a strengths-based, person-centred practice. I combine these with processes such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy or Solution-focused Therapy. I also work within an Attachment Theory framework, accompanied by a trauma-informed lens in all my practice. This provides a safe and comfortable environment for you to choose how you engage in therapy with me.

I have Psychology and Counselling qualifications and skills, and many life experiences. If you’re ready to take the next step, contact me on the mobile or email below to book an appointment to begin to move forward.
