The problems I work with aren’t presented as a list of diagnoses (e.g., anxiety, depression). Instead, I focus on the experiences and patterns that show up in your day-to-day life, recognizing that the symptoms captured by diagnostic labels reflect the ways we’ve learned to navigate the world.

Relating to you as a set of diagnostic criteria can sometimes get in the way of understanding your lived experience. My approach is about connecting with you as the person who walks into the therapy space — your emotions, relationships, identity, and the ways life experiences shape the challenges you face.

• Relationship difficulties — sustaining connected and meaningful relationships, maintaining healthy boundaries, and navigating conflict across personal, social, and work environments

• Attachment wounds — impacts of early relational experiences on trust, security, and connection in current relationships

• Complex trauma experiences — effects of repeated or prolonged adverse events, including abuse, neglect, or other early life trauma

• Navigating life transitions — managing change, adjustment, and the stress associated with significant life events

• Work and career stress — challenges related to workload, career direction, professional relationships, and balancing work with life demands

• Family pressures and conflict — navigating family expectations, caregiving responsibilities, and interpersonal tension within household and extended family settings

• Perinatal challenges — supporting emotional wellbeing, adjustment, and relationship dynamics during pregnancy, birth, and the first year of parenthood, including managing anxiety, mood changes, identity shifts, and parent–infant attachment

My session fees are as below:

Standard Consultation: The fee for a 50 minute appointment at my clinic location or online is $255.00. With a MHTP from your GP or psychiatrist you will be eligible for a rebate of $145.25, making your investment in therapy $109.75.

Walk-n-Talk: The fee for a 50 minute out of consult rooms appointment is $280.00. With a MHTP you are eligible for a rebate of $169.95, making your investment in therapy $110.05.

In Home Support: The fee for in home perinatal support is $275.00 per session. With an eligible MHTP the rebate on out of office services is $169.95, making your investment in therapy $105.05.

While the total session cost for Walk-n-Talk and In Home services is higher, this is due to the higher rebate for out of office consultation, the difference of which the practice absorbs to cover most travel fees.

You are welcome to see me without a referral, however a referral is required if you want to claim a Medicare rebate for any of our sessions

I am registered with Medicare as a provider of psychology services under the Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative. This allows clients to claim a Medicare rebate for sessions, provided they have a current referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from their GP or psychiatrist. The current rebate per session in consult rooms is $145.25, and $169.95 for consultations held outside of consulting rooms.

Rebates may also be available through private health insurance, either as an alternative to Medicare or once your Medicare-covered sessions have been used.

This kind of work takes time. Therapy done with care, respect, and real attunement is often slow—because it honours the complexity of what you’ve lived through.

The ten sessions rebated by Medicare gives us about eight hours together. For some patients it can take that long just to name what’s really going on, and that is completely okay.

I work best with people who are willing to be patient with their own process, and who want therapy that invites lasting, not rushed, change.

This is not something I provide as part of my direct therapy services. Diagnostic labels such as those found in the DSM-5 can be very helpful, but in therapy, they can also be limiting.

The human mind naturally uses categories to make sense of the world — they help us create mental shortcuts for faster decision-making. Diagnoses are no different, and they can therefore create assumptions about how a person with a certain diagnosis may think, feel, or behave.

By setting these aside, we focus on you as the person who walks into the room, understanding your experiences on your own terms without preconceptions.

The weeks and months after having a baby can be both beautiful and overwhelming. In this stage of life, even the simplest things — like getting out of the house — can feel like monumental tasks. Packing a baby bag, timing feeds and naps, dealing with crying in the car, or worrying about whether your baby will stay quiet during a session can all add extra stress. Even telehealth, while convenient in theory, often means you’re trying to talk about important and vulnerable things while simultaneously caring for your baby.

I offer in-home consultations for perinatal clients because I want to remove as many of these barriers as possible. This is such a vulnerable time, and accessing support shouldn’t depend on how well you can manage logistics. By coming to you, I hope to make therapy feel more accessible, gentler, and easier to integrate into your life. You don’t need to prepare anything special — you can feed your baby, sit in your comfiest chair, or just be as you are. My role is to meet you in that space, so you can focus on your own needs without the added weight of “getting it all together” first.

For all other clients, I currently offer telehealth sessions, with in person sessions available from January 2026 at my consulting rooms. These formats allow for consistency, privacy, and a therapeutic setting that supports focused work. While in-home consultations aren’t offered more broadly at this stage, the goal is always the same: to create a safe and supportive environment that helps you feel understood, cared for, and able to do the work you’ve come to therapy for.

I grew up on the Gold Coast, but did my postgraduate training in the Northern Territory. My partner is also a therapist, and together we’re raising our beautiful infant boy — who gives us plenty of opportunities to navigate our own internal conflicts and mixed emotions that come with parenthood.

I’m fairly dependent on coffee to get through the day, love a great book, and take any excuse to sit by the water.

I’m a chronic hobby hopper. At the moment, I’m trying my hand at pottery and experimenting with growing and harvesting flowers to create arrangements for my home. (The pottery is lopsided and the floral arrangements are a work in progress — but I love the process just as much as the outcome!)
