About Me

As a registered psychologist and psychosexual therapist, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and couples. I help you navigate the complexities of your mind, relationships, and sexuality. Our work together focuses on fostering self-connection, allowing you to become your most authentic self. This collaborative approach also supports healing from past trauma. Clients seeking a compassionate space to explore their deepest selves and find clarity will find a strong match.

Approach

Our work opens by gently mapping how your emotions, sexual self and relationships show up day to day, then setting collaborative goals that feel manageable. From my Sydney clinic or via secure online sessions I keep a steady, paced structure where we check in, explore patterns and practice new responses. Sessions blend focused conversation, skill-building and trauma-informed pacing; between sessions I often offer short experiments to try in real life so change feels concrete. This approach suits adults and couples seeking clear, compassionate support with anxiety, trauma, identity or neurodiverse challenges.
