Mental Health Social Worker & Psychotherapist
About Me
I am a Mental Health Social Worker and Psychotherapist based on the Mornington Peninsula, with specialised training in Infant Mental Health and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
My priority is to create a safe and containing space where your inner world can be explored with curiosity, compassion and care.
My clinical approach is grounded in psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy. Together, we can explore the patterns, relationships and experiences that may be contributing to your current difficulties, and develop a deeper understanding of how earlier experiences may continue to shape the way you see yourself and relate to others.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, adjustment difficulties, and concerns relating to eating and body image. I also have a background in parent and infant mental health, and a particular interest in supporting parents during pregnancy and the perinatal period, including the emotional challenges that can arise during the transition to parenthood and within the parent–infant relationship.
I offer longer-term therapy and recognise that therapy can, at times, be challenging. With consistency, trust and a strong therapeutic relationship, it can also be profoundly transformative.
If you are looking for a therapeutic relationship that supports deeper self-understanding and meaningful change, I welcome you to get in touch.

Professional History
Prior to establishing my private practice, I worked in Public Health, specialising in women’s mental health at The Royal Women’s Hospital, and complex trauma at Monash Health. I also worked in various non-for-profit organisations and consultancy services, providing trauma informed therapy to vulnerable infants, children and adults. This extensive experience has provided me with a deep understanding of service systems, and the importance of an integrative, person-centred, and collaborative approach.
