I am an experienced Counsellor, ASD/ADHD Coach and Mental Health Clinician registered in Australia with more than 15 years of professional work experience in this sector. My greatest passion is supporting clients to lean into their strengths and live their best life (however you choose to define it). I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, depression, & coping with life changes. I also have expertise in supporting clients experiencing workplace related challenges and those living with, or supporting loved ones, with neurodiversity. I work from a strength based, trauma informed lens at your pace, supporting your goals. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I feel privileged to be able to support you and work with you during this time.

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.
