“Work with depression, anxiety, stress, chronic pain, anger management, post-natal depression, workplace issues, behavioural problems, Autism”

About Me

Life's challenges, from depression and anxiety to chronic pain, can feel overwhelming. I support individuals navigating common issues: anger management, post-natal depression, and workplace difficulties. We can explore what's troubling you, developing practical ways to manage stress and behavioural concerns. My approach helps you build resilience and find a clearer path forward. This includes understanding the unique experiences of Autism.

Approach

I help untangle overwhelming feelings, persistent pain and workplace strain by shaping therapy around what’s immediately useful for you. Sessions in Sydney or online, in English or Spanish, move at a practical pace—short, focused steps, clear explanations, and room to reflect—so you leave with something concrete to try between meetings. We track what works, adjust strategies for mood, stress or sensory differences, and use assessments when clarity helps. People juggling burnout, parenting or behavioural challenges often find this hands-on, steady way helpful.
