- AASW
I am an accredited mental health social worker and psychotherapist from Melbourne, Australia. I have significant experience working with a range of mental health diagnoses and presentations within public mental health settings, including depression, anxiety, trauma disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and addiction. I aim to meet each person with compassion and appreciate the unique circumstances and challenges that have brought them to this moment. My primary therapy modality is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, however I employ strategies from other therapies as needed to best support my clients.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
