I hold a Master of Social Work and studied psychology in my undergraduate degree. I am credentialed in Australia. I have more than eight years' full-time experience as a mental health clinician providing evidence-based interventions including cognitive behaviour therapy, EMDR, trauma-focused therapies, and interpersonal psychotherapy. I have extensive experience in helping clients with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management, personality disorders, relationship problems, stress, coping with addictions, and low self-esteem.
I work collaboratively with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. I have supported many people over the years to achieve great outcomes for their mental health and wellbeing, and I look forward to supporting you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
