Warmth, wisdom and a safe space to grow
I am an Expressive Therapist, Educator and Clinical Supervisor with over thirty years working alongside individuals, couples, families and children. I believe in the innate wisdom within each of us, and I walk with people on their journeys toward healing and wholeness.
Thirty years of walking alongside people
My work as a therapist, educator and supervisor has been shaped by one enduring belief: that every person carries within them an orientation towards growth and healing. My role is simply to create the conditions in which that natural movement can unfold.
I am registered with PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) and ACSA (Australian Clinical Supervision Association), and I bring both rigorous professional grounding and a deeply personal, relational approach to every session.
Over the years I have worked in private practice and in university settings, teaching and supervising students in postgraduate programs at Deakin University, Monash University, the University of New England, Australian College of Applied Psychology and The Cairnmillar Institute.
I offer face to face appointments in Inverloch on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Online appointments are also available for those who cannot attend in person.

Person-centred, relational and deeply human
I am fundamentally person-centred in both therapy and supervision. I trust in each person's innate wisdom and their natural orientation towards growth. My work is grounded in Relational Neuroscience research, which affirms the profound healing power of genuine, compassionate relationship.
Deep and compassionate listening, where you feel truly heard and understood
Collaborative journeys, walking alongside you rather than directing from ahead
Creative and somatic approaches including images, symbols, drawing, storytelling and body sensation
Safe, accepting spaces where you can be seen, heard, understood and valued
Respect for each person's unique story and pace, never rushing towards a destination
Grounded in Relational Neuroscience research and over thirty years of lived practice
