I use a variety of evidence-based tools and techniques to help you reconnect with your existing strengths and cultivate additional resources that support progress toward the changes you wish to make. Depending on specific needs, I draw from a number of therapeutic modalities, all incorporating a respectful, strengths-based, person-centred and recovery-oriented approach. My practice is grounded in developmental, trauma-informed and solution-focused therapy within a family systems theoretical model. I frequently call on creative interventions, mindfulness and somatic resources to align your mind / body / spirit connection and consider cultural respect essential to my therapeutic approach.

Mandurah is a coastal city south of Perth at the mouth of the Peel Estuary, one of Western Australia's fastest-growing cities and a major retirement and lifestyle destination that draws both retirees from Perth and younger families seeking more affordable coastal living, creating a demographically bifurcated community with quite different mental health needs across its population. Peel Health Campus and the state public health system provide mental health services, and a developing private therapy sector serves the growing population, though access to specialist care often requires travel to Perth. The city's rapid growth has outpaced the development of mental health and social service infrastructure, creating a persistent gap between need and availability. Common therapy concerns include retirement adjustment and ageing-related concerns, isolation for new residents still building community connections, family stress for the growing younger population, anxiety, and the challenges of a rapidly growing outer-metropolitan city where services consistently lag behind demand.
