Wherever you are on your journey, I appreciate your bravery in seeking support.
Who am I ?
I am a somatic oriented trauma therapist in Fairfield, Preston, and Melbourne's northern suburbs. I specialise in working with adults navigating the ongoing effects of traumatic stress—including overwhelm, low self-esteem, chronic pain, anxiety, and IBS. Through body-based therapy and creative modalities, I help you reconnect with yourself and release the grip of difficult experiences through gentle, embodied practices that address how trauma affects your nervous system and daily life.
In our 1-1, dyadic and group sessions, we go beyond just talking. We explore how your experiences show up in your body and what needs attention and integration.
Reframing Your Experience
I view anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and feelings of shame not as psychological disorders but as protective responses your body and mind developed during difficult times.
Practice Focus
Listening to the Body : We learn to pay attention to your feelings and sensations instead of ignoring them. This helps address fatigue, tension, and restlessness that interfere with your daily functioning.
Moving Beyond "Survival Mode" : We work on releasing feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety that get stuck in the body, using somatic practices to help you feel more present and grounded in your everyday life.
Gentle Emotional Support : We approach difficult emotions with care, moving at a pace that feels right for you as we build a supportive therapeutic relationship.
Creative Integration : Through creative, embodied and expressive practices, we connect your mind, emotions, and body, helping you move from feeling stuck to experiencing more ease within yourself and in your relationships.
As Rachel Naomi Remen says, we all carry both fear and courage. Growth is about embracing the full truth of who you are, not just getting rid of the "bad" parts.
I bring more than a decade of specialist experience and qualification in the areas of complex trauma. Here are the details for your reference.
I serve clients in: Fairfield, Preston, Thornbury, Northcote, Brunswick, and across Melbourne's inner and northern suburbs. Virtual sessions available throughout Victoria.
If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to schedule a free video call to see if we're a good fit for your journey.
Thank you for your time.
