"I like to work at the pace of each client, being guided by them in the level of connection they are ready to work with - working bit by bit to create a connection in which they find the courage to explore that part of themselves that is wounded and vulnerable; apprehensive and restless; or hassled and tense. "

Coomera and Miami

"I love doing this work because I get to provide people with knowledge and power to improve their understanding of themselves and others and improve their lives. Nothing should stop people from achieving their goals and I enjoy helping people to achieve theirs."

"I love working as a psychologist, to see lives changed and clients feel their future is full of hope; or just to be with others in their suffering if that is all that they seek."

Wodonga

"Life is busy and yes, stress comes with this reality. By exploring a client's stress triggers and providing strategies that build their coping response, I really enjoy seeing a client progress from ‘survive’ to ‘thrive.’"

Balwyn

"I help clients feel comfortable and supported by being myself, by taking time that is needed, by listening to understand."

Nedlands

North Perth, Heathridge

"I help clients feel comfortable and supported in various ways - I might invite them to slow down and make “space for how they are feeling”, no need to move on too quickly. This often helps clients to see that how ever they are feeling is OK."

Toorak

Oxley & Sunnybank Hills

"It is so important to work together at the pace chosen by the client because each person has unique circumstances. I use a joint approach where the client chooses the goals they wish to achieve. There is no room for ‘judgment’ because every circumstance is unique and judgment ‘gets in the way’ of honest exploration which is the basis of therapy. My approach is gentle with knowledgeable guidance, and it is evidence-based."

Richmond

"We live in an age of information overload, but sometimes that bulk of information can be confusing and even misleading. The simple act of talking to an impartial professional can be very helpful and an enormous relief."

Isle of Capri, Miami

Maroochydore

"I love doing this work as I feel so privileged to be able to support individuals who are vulnerable, yet who are willing to trust me with their vulnerability so that with the necessary skills I can guide and support them to make wise choices to enable them to live the life that they want, and the life that they deserve."
