About

I became a counsellor because I believe therapy works best when you can actually be yourself in the room.

You shouldn’t have to feel like you need to ‘perform’ in therapy- trust me, I’ve been there.
I have my own history with anxiety and feeling stuck/lost and burntout. I have struggled with showing up authentically as myself, instead struggling with perfectionism, people-pleasing and low self-esteem. I have had the experience of searching for a therapist that feels like the right fit (and instead found several that weren’t). I’ve had the experience of trying an approach/strategy and having it not work for me and then feeling hopeless or like a failure. Many times, I’ve wondered why things seem to ‘just work’ for others, while they didn’t for me.

I know firsthand that people are complicated. Our brains do weird things. We make mistakes. Our lives are messy.

I feel that sometimes what you really need (and what I needed at the time, too) is someone who can sit with and support you through moments of vulnerability and pain, without taking themselves too seriously or acting like they have all the answers.
We all want to feel less alone and more connected to the people and world around us, and I think that a therapist who doesn’t act like they have it all figured out, is openly imperfect and flawed, and who has a sense of humour about it, can really help to achieve that.

I have been on the journey you are on right now, and know the ups and downs it comes with, and I would be honoured to support you through the same, in a way that helps you feel welcome, comfortable and seen.

My counselling style is warm, collaborative, flexible and comfortable, and I work with adults and young people from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, sexualities and neurotypes.

I’m particularly interested in working with people navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, overwhelm, identity, relationships and major life transitions- especially people who have felt misunderstood, like they are ‘too much’, 'not enough’, or simply that they don’t fit into the boxes they’ve been given.

You are the expert on your own life.
My job isn’t to tell you who you are. It’s not to ‘fix you’.
It’s to help you understand yourself, work out what you need, help you find new strength and hope, and find ways of living that actually work for you.
And yes, sometimes that involves serious therapeutic work.
But sometimes it also involves a sprinkle of dark humour, and being able to laugh at the absurdity of being human.

I have been counselling in Canberra since early 2024. I completed my Bachelor of Counselling at Griffith University on the Gold Coast in 2023, and shortly after, I moved back home to Canberra with my partner, where we have since welcomed a wonderful little daughter. I have worked in the perinatal mental health space for 18 months, and have also worked in early intervention, with children with Autism/ADHD and developmental delays, however right now, I am focusing my energy on building my private practice as this is where I feel most ‘in my element’ as a counsellor!

When I’m not in session, I’m enjoying the very best of Canberra’s foodie scene, exploring local markets, reading questionable fantasy romances, going on walks with my family, collaging, watercolour painting, and escaping to the South Coast for a dose of ocean air whenever I get the chance.
