About

I live and work on Sydney's northern beaches, where the ocean and bushland have always been part of my own practice of staying grounded and present — something I bring into the therapy room as well.

My Approach

I work within the Gestalt model, which I find both beautiful and powerful. I'm especially drawn to the paradoxical theory of change, field theory, and a relational way of working — the idea that we are always in dialogue with our environment, and that healing happens through genuine contact and connection.

I value phenomenological inquiry, creative adjustment, and the willingness to sit with complexity rather than rush toward resolution. I bring a strong focus on self-regulation into my work, drawing on my own long-standing practice of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork.

I hold space for people with warmth, patience, and respect for each person's own process — trusting that, given the right conditions, we are always finding our way toward the best possible growth available to us.

Working Together

I offer sessions via Zoom or another online platform of your choice, with appointment times arranged directly with clients, Monday to Friday.

I am a registered member of PACFA and GANZ.
