I began my professional journey interstate, where running a small dance business sparked my passion for supporting people to build confidence, grow, and connect with others. This experience led me to pursue a career focused on wellbeing and personal development.
After moving to the city, I completed a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Social Work, developing strong counselling skills to support individuals through life’s challenges. I also hold a Certificate IV in Fitness, reflecting my interest in supporting both mental and physical wellbeing.
I have worked across a range of settings including schools, community services, and private practice, supporting people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
Through counselling, my aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to improve their wellbeing and make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and use evidence-based approaches to support positive mental health and resilience.
In my private practice, I work with children, families, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, career decisions, and other mental health challenges. I take a holistic, practical approach, blending evidence-based strategies with personalised support that engages clients in ways that suit them — whether through movement, life skills, or tailored therapeutic techniques.
I work with Mental Health Care Plans, NDIS (plan-managed), and private arrangements, including telehealth sessions for flexible support.
With a background in both mental health and fitness, I bring a holistic understanding of the connection between emotional and physical wellbeing. I work collaboratively and respectfully, tailoring therapy to your individual needs and goals while creating a calm, non-judgemental therapeutic environment.
