Hello, I'm so glad you found me here. It takes courage to reach out and ask for support and I would be honoured to walk with you on your healing journey.
I am credentialed in Australia with 6 years of professional counselling work experience and prior to that 14 years of counselling support within community organisations. I have extensive experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, work and relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach is warm and nurturing because I believe starting therapy doesn't need to be hard or scary. You can feel safe with me.
I am excited for the journey ahead and I am ready to get started to support you to be the best version of yourself with less stress and more ease.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
