I hope people leave my therapy room a little closer to the person they want to be. That’s what makes a therapy room special, getting to talk and focus on the things that make life worth living.

Living in the Illawarra has shaped the way I think about wellbeing. When it feels helpful, I enjoy incorporating nature into therapy—sometimes that simply means slowing down together, and sometimes it means taking our conversation outside.

My approach

One of the first questions I’ll ask is:

“What do you want to get out of this?”

Your answer becomes the starting point for our work together.

I draw on therapies such as ACT, CBT and Schema Therapy, but the therapy itself is shaped by the person sitting in front of me rather than by a single model.

Areas I enjoy working with

I often work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship difficulties and major life transitions.

Research

Alongside private practice, I work as a Research Fellow at the University of Sydney. My research has focused on trauma, PTSD and refugee mental health, and I continue to collaborate with local organisations such as Green Connect. I also work on clinical trials investigating psychedelic-assisted therapy for PTSD.

Outside the therapy room

Outside work I'm usually spending time with my family, exploring the bush tracks around the Illawarra or playing mandolin with a local folk band.
