Hello and welcome! I am a registered Arts Therapist and counselor based in Sydney. I provide art therapy and counselling to those experiencing OCD. Through my practice, I make an intentional commitment to support individuals in their health and wellbeing journey. My mission is to enrich and empower the lives of others through creativity and connection. My passion for expressive creative arts has inspired me to further explore how art can be used as a tool for healing, and the ways it can be used in mental health recovery as a psychotherapeutic modality.

Illume Psychology is a boutique psychology practice that offers a nurturing space to meaningfully and collaboratively work through your inner troubles. OCD can be complex and debilitating, and necessitates the thoughtful and skilled attention of a dedicated therapist to provide support, help make sense of experiences and bring to awareness problematic patterns of thought and behaviour to empower you to create sustained change in your life.
Living with OCD can be overwhelming, as intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours disrupt daily life. In therapy for OCD, I provide a supportive environment to help you understand and manage your symptoms. Using evidence-based techniques from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we work together to reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms.
Being able to live with OCD can be very challenging, and it's not always easy to cope with. As a psychotherapist, I'm dedicated to helping individuals with this condition manage their symptoms. Through a combination of evidence-based treatments and psychological therapy, I'll help them feel more comfortable and control their thoughts and behaviours.
