Special Interest In: Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
With over half a decade of experience across diverse settings—including Occupational Rehabilitation, Corrective Services, Early Psychosis, and WorkCover—I have developed a practical and empathetic approach to therapy. I offer both individual and couples therapy.
My Approach
At the core of my therapy practice is a focus on addressing the needs of the individual rather than just their behaviors. Behaviors are often judged, especially when taken out of context. However, when we take the time to explore the unmet needs driving those behaviors, we move from judgment to understanding and compassion. This shift is the first step toward meaningful change. You’ll find that this pattern extends beyond your relationship with yourself—it influences all your relationships. (For more on how compassion leads to change, check out my blog post, "The Therapy Process.")
My goal is to foster a sense of empowerment—not just through compassion and positive encouragement, but by helping you understand the deeper reasons behind your thoughts and emotions. I'll share insights into what is common across most people, and together, we’ll explore how these principles apply to you.
Sessions provide a space to slow down and reflect on areas of life that may not have received the attention they need. While therapy can be challenging at times, this process is essential for personal growth and healing.
Influences & Methods
I appreciate the work of thinkers such as Jordan Peterson, Tim Ferriss, Sam Harris, Andrew Huberman, and Alex Hormozi—individuals who exemplify self-reflection, self-compassion, personal accountability, and practical change. A common thread in their work is the application of simple concepts across multiple frameworks. I strive to do the same in therapy, breaking down complex issues into clear, actionable principles.
For couples therapy, I have completed Level 2 training in the Gottman Method. This approach focuses on meeting each partner’s emotional needs while developing the skills and mindset necessary to strengthen their relationship. A key aspect of the Gottman Method is rebuilding and deepening the friendship between partners—a foundation for lasting connection.
