Education
My therapeutic approach is built on rigorous academic training, professional accreditation, and a deep commitment to evidence-based practice. As a clinician who values both scientific rigor and holistic wisdom, I’ve invested in comprehensive education across psychotherapy, somatic therapies, and mindfulness-based interventions to serve you with the highest standards of care.
Holding a Master of Counselling from Monash University and dual registration with Australia’s leading professional bodies (ACA and PACFA), I bring both academic excellence and clinically proven methods to our work. But beyond certificates, what truly defines my practice is how I integrate this knowledge with lived experience - creating therapy that’s as professionally sound as it is humanly authentic.
Below you’ll find details of my formal qualifications, specialized trainings, and the therapeutic frameworks that inform my work. These tools matter because you matter - and you deserve a therapist whose expertise matches the complexity of your journey.
