"No therapy can change the facts of a life, but it can change the narrative of the facts - and that may be decisive."
- Contardo Calligaris
As therapists, we recognize that while therapeutic techniques and interventions are important, the heart of psychological healing lies in the relationship between therapist and client. A strong and healthy therapeutic relationship is built on trust, honesty, open communication, respect, and mutual understanding. This connection can foster confidence, reassurance, and openness, creating a space where clients feel safe to be honest and to accept themselves for who they are. Therapy can be challenging at times, but as your therapist is my role to support you through these difficult moments and help you navigate the process with care.
Drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities I tailor our sessions to fit your unique circumstances. I have a strong emphasis on trauma-informed practices, ensuring that our work respects and acknowledges the impact of past experiences while fostering healing and growth. Together, we'll create a supportive environment that encourages honest self-reflection.
I am currently in private practice on the Gold Coast and offer sessions face-to-face and via telehealth.
Individual therapy is a deeply personal journey, offering you a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you're navigating life’s challenges, feeling overwhelmed, or simply unsure of what's going on inside, individual therapy can help you gain insight and clarity.
In our sessions together, we’ll go beyond the surface of your thoughts and behaviors to access the deeper emotions that may be holding you back. I believe that given the right context and support, everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, even from life’s most difficult experiences.
Together, we can explore your inner world, unpack what’s been weighing you down, and work toward the growth and change you seek in your life. My approach is grounded in warmth and curiosity, offering a safe space for you to reconnect with your strengths and survival strategies, while gently challenging you when appropriate. I consider all aspects of who you are—your gender, race, sexuality, culture, and relationships—to ensure therapy is tailored to your unique need
Individual therapy is an opportunity to reclaim your narrative and start building a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
Relationship Counselling
Couples therapy offers a space for partners to work through challenges, strengthen their connection, and foster a deeper understanding of each other. Whether you’re dealing with recurring arguments, communication breakdowns, or feeling distant, couples therapy can help uncover the underlying issues and shift patterns that may be causing tension.
Couples therapy is not just individual therapy with two people—it’s a dynamic process focused on how both partners relate to each other and the relationship itself. In a safe and confidential environment, we’ll uncover the root causes of your difficulties, understand each other’s perspectives, and work toward more effective ways of relating.
Together, we’ll work on improving communication, building trust, and fostering emotional safety. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in helping you both feel heard and understood, while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns.
Couples therapy isn’t just about resolving conflict—it’s also about strengthening your relationship and finding new ways to grow together.
I welcome a diverse range of couples and relationship styles, ensuring that all partnerships are approached with respect and understanding.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused therapy designed to help people heal from the emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn’t require you to talk extensively about the trauma. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) to help the brain reprocess disturbing memories so that they no longer hold the same emotional intensity.
During an EMDR session, I guide you through recalling distressing events while using specific eye movements, taps, or sounds. This process helps the brain reprocess the memory in a healthier way, reducing its emotional charge and allowing it to be integrated into your overall experience.
Over time, this approach can reduce the emotional impact of the memory, allowing you to feel more at peace with it. Many people find lasting relief from PTSD, childhood trauma, and other deep-rooted emotional issues through EMDR.
I provide a safe, grounded space for EMDR therapy, ensuring the process is aligned (in harmony) with your needs and emotional comfort. We will go at a pace that feels right for you, allowing the therapy to unfold in a way that feels both empowering and manageable, so you feel supported throughout your healing journey.
Family Constellation Therapy
Family Constellation is a phenomenological therapy that reveals unconscious dynamics and transgenerational traumas passed down from previous generations. These inherited patterns can affect your life in ways you may not be fully aware of, often manifesting as emotional struggles, relationship issues, addiction, or recurring challenges that seem resistant to change.
In a Family Constellation session, these unconscious dynamics are brought to light, offering insight into how they might be influencing your present experience. By uncovering these hidden influences, the therapy creates an opportunity for healing and change, helping you release old patterns and step into greater personal freedom.
This approach is particularly beneficial for those who feel stuck in repetitive life patterns or are unable to identify the root cause of their difficulties.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is a supportive and collaborative approach designed to help families navigate challenges and improve their relationships. It recognizes that family dynamics play a crucial role in individual well-being and emotional health.
By engaging in open dialogue, family members can explore their feelings and experiences in a safe environment. This therapeutic process encourages understanding and empathy, allowing families to address conflicts and strengthen their emotional connections.
In our sessions, we will work together to identify patterns and dynamics that may be impacting your family life. This process helps uncover underlying issues that may be affect the family unit as a whole. By addressing these dynamics, families can develop healthier communication strategies and create a more harmonious environment.
Family therapy can be beneficial for a variety of challenges, including parenting issues, grief, substance abuse, mental health concerns, and major life transitions. The goal is to strengthen family bonds, enhance resilience, and promote emotional well-being for all members, contributing to a healthier family dynamic.
