I am a credentialed therapist based in Australia with 15 years of professional experience, dedicated to providing compassionate and effective support to my clients. My expertise spans a range of areas, including parenting, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), teen counseling, depression, grief and loss and trauma.
Utilizing a person-centred approach, I ensure that each session is tailored to meet the unique needs and experiences of my clients. I also integrate trauma-informed practices to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Whether you're coping with the complexities of life or navigating family conflicts or looking for strategies or education about ASD I am here to help.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
