My Integrated & Nature-Informed Approach

As an integrative therapist, I adopt a holistic approach to understanding your challenges. I draw inspiration from the natural world and its inherent wisdom to guide you toward discovering realistic and meaningful solutions. I aim to support you in co-creating the life you truly desire.

At our Moonee Ponds clinic, I combine Clinical Hypnotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Eco-psychotherapy, and mindfulness practices to support your journey towards self-regulation, resilience, and a deeper connection to self-awareness, meaningful existence, and social connectedness. My trauma-informed approach carefully paces therapeutic work to match your nervous system's capacity for physiological restoration.

Just as 'en plein air' artists moved from studios to the open air, I take therapy beyond traditional boundaries, integrating the restorative capacity of nature into our clinical process.

Located in Moonee Ponds with telehealth options available, I'm here to help you feel alive, loved, connected, and live with purpose. I am committed to continuous professional development, building upon established therapeutic knowledge and consistently seeking further education to enhance my ability to guide clients effectively. This ensures that I am always equipped to support you in achieving your desired outcomes.
