Believe in yourself and all that you know. There is something inside of you that is greater than any obstacle.

 All relationships go through periods of stress, distance, or disconnection but long-lasting patterns can create chasms between partners that can feel hard to cross.  

I work with couples who are feeling stuck in patterns of conflict, communication breakdown, lack of trust, or intimacy problems. Using a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Schema Therapy, I help couples better understand their underlying needs and the deeper emotions that sit beneath protective behaviours. 

Together, we work to shift unhelpful cycles, strengthen emotional safety, and rebuild a deeper sense of connection, warmth, and trust. 

Couples therapy is not about blame — it’s about finding your way back to each other, creating space for open communication, and building a relationship that feels more secure, respectful, and supportive for both partners. 

 Adolescence can be a rough time - not just for teens but for parents too. Teenagers are figuring out who they are, dealing with big emotions, facing social pressures, and trying to balance growing independence with a need for support. It’s a stage of life that can feel confusing, intense, and very often overwhelming.

I work with teenagers who are experiencing anxiety, OCD, low mood, stress, social struggles, or the effects of trauma. I also support neurodivergent young people with executive skill challenges, who see and experience the world a little differently. My goal is to create a space where teens feel safe, respected, and truly listened to.

Using an approach called DNA-V (based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), I help teens learn how to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, build stronger relationships, and discover what really matters to them. Therapy is about more than just coping — it’s about helping young people grow into themselves with confidence, connection, and a clearer sense of direction for their lives.

Children who display differences in their communication, behaviour, learning, or social preferences need understanding, support, and guidance to help them thrive as they grow.

I provide comprehensive assessments for children and adolescents, including autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, and giftedness. These assessments help identify underlying neurodevelopmental or cognitive differences and provide clarity and validation for families. Understanding a child’s profile allows parents and educators to connect with, support, and guide them in ways that truly work. Early assessment and tailored intervention also improve long-term outcomes, giving children the tools and supports they need to reach their potential.

I use gold-standard tools, including the ADOS-2 and ADI-R for autism, the WISC for cognitive functioning, and executive functioning measures to assess attention, planning, and self-regulation. All assessments review functioning in ways that align with NDIS access, helping ensure each child can access the supports best suited to their unique needs.
