“Thank you for reaching out and taking the first, and hardest step towards a better life. I’m glad you’re here. No matter where you are in life, how bad you think things are or that there is no light at the end of the tunnel, i look forward to guiding you to a healthier and happier life. I look forward to getting to know you as an individual and to know the details that make you unique; the little parts of you that others just don’t seem to understand. Help and hope work great together, and i look forward to being able to do the same with you!”

As someone who has personally navigated the complexities of relationships, I understand how tough they can be. I've battled with insecurities, wrestled with anxiety, struggled to communicate my needs, and navigated through the complex world of family life. But through it all, I've grown. Understanding my emotions and working through my issues in a safe space brought me a peace I had never known. This is the same gift I'd like to offer my clients through my professional service and I can't wait to walk with you on your journey!

Can you relate to either of these statements? “I’m so over hurtful relationships. I’m starting to think I’ll be single forever” "We can’t keep fighting like this. If something doesn’t change we’re headed for a breakup” If you can relate to the pain of struggling in a relationship, you’re not alone. If you’re an individual in relationship pain, I can help you overcome your past relationship hurts, understand your blocks to intimacy, and help you create a successful long-term relationship. If you’re a couple, I can help you resolve long-standing issues and rebuild the loving, intimate and harmonious relationship you once had.

Hi, I’m a Psychologist with a private practice in Bondi Junction. In my work I have found that people are often exploring how to heal, how to hold overwhelming experience, how to find some relief and understanding in the midst of psychological distress, how to navigate complexity in life and relationship.

Hi, for the last 20 years I have been working with people who are experiencing challenges in their relationships. Conflict and communication problems often at the heart of these challenges. For many years I saw this when mediating with couples or parents who had decided to separate. Now through counselling I prefer to focus on the source of the problems before its too late. My particular motivation is to prevent conflict having a negative impact on children when they are involved.

Becoming a parent brings its own set of unique challenges. As we adjust to the profound physical, emotional, social, and spiritual shifts within ourselves, we’re also figuring out how to nurture our little ones and maintain our relationship. This journey can be exhausting, overwhelming and isolating. It also provides amazing opportunity for growth. I’m here to offer you a warm, non-judgmental space to connect in to yourself, and move through this journey with more confidence, ease and lightness.
