Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
As a credentialed therapist in Australia with over 15 years of professional experience, I am passionate about walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward greater wellbeing.
My therapeutic approach draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred therapy, offering a compassionate and collaborative space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported.
I love working with clients from all walks of life — whether you identify as Christian, spiritual, or non-religious. I deeply respect each person’s beliefs and values, and as a Christian myself, for those who wish, I integrate biblical truth and scripture, or other spiritual insights, that guide us back to inner peace and clarity.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that no one is broken. I believe we are all, at our core, Love — whole, worthy, and enough — no matter what our thoughts or experiences may tell us. My role is to support you in returning to that essence of wholeness and truth, reconnecting with who you truly are beyond the noise of the mind and the stories of the past.
I believe that true healing begins in the mind, and as we shift our thoughts and align with truth, our outer experiences begin to change. My role is not to fix you, but to guide, empower, and walk beside you as you rediscover your inner wisdom and live from your authentic self.
I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in remembering your identity — whole, worthy, and deeply deserving of living your best life.

Many people question whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the format that suits you best, whether that’s a video consultation, a phone session, live chat or messaging within an app. That adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if you ever feel a different match would be better, you can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy offers a practical and effective option for many people seeking support.
