Hello, and welcome to my website. You may have come across this page because you are experiencing trouble in one or more areas regarding your emotional life. These difficulties may consist of - but are not limited to - pervasive feelings of shame, guilt, sadness, anxiety, emptiness and/or loneliness. Perhaps you are unsure as to what to do about these persistent feelings. You may feel as if you have ways of relating to others which perpetuate the unwanted feelings, and stop you from effecting real change in your relationships. People may have offered up all kinds of advice, only to leave you feeling unheard and misunderstood. Perhaps you have even tried therapy before, but you found it didn't get to the heart of the matter, and you left feeling discouraged.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist and psychologist working in a quiet and confidential space on Wickham Terrace in Brisbane. I welcome people with patience, curiosity, open-mindedness and professional concern. I typically work with people who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss, or who are seeking to explore ways out of troublesome and repetitive life issues, particularly regarding relationships. I also work with people who seek to: 

- understand themselves better

- explore issues of the self

- find, think about, and fully express their emotions

- build their self-acceptance and self-esteem

- stop going out of their way to please everyone else

- develop the courage to go about fulfilling their needs

I am a psychologist registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency and Psychology Board of Australia. I am also a full member of the Australian Psychological Society and the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, and have studied with The London Lectures on Psychoanalysis. I am currently taking a registrar program in psychodynamic psychotherapy.
