I hold a Master of Counselling & Psychotherapy degree. In early 2022 founded my private practice called Hummingbird Therapy. I have previously worked as a Specialist Trauma Counsellor at 1800RESPECT and as a generalist Counsellor at Doncare Community Centre.
Supporting you as you work through your psychological and emotional issue around anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, stress, grief, loss, family violence. I also provides grief counselling at The Grief Centre.

My approach is experiential in working with emotions and pscyhological difficulties, that is tailored to your unique needs.
As we work together, you will find ways of developing a sense of peace, self compassion, resilience and empowerment. I help you attend to those stuck places, those emotional, pscyhological stoppages that stand in the way of you being your authentic self in your life and in your relationships.
