Practice Information

It is exhausting to live with a nagging sense that you just aren't quite "good enough." That hidden insecurity messes with everything. It turns simple chats with your partner into big fights. It makes you feel shy or worried about what others think, when you really just want to feel at ease. It’s time to turn that around. I keep therapy warm, real, and lighthearted. We won’t just talk in circles; we’ll build actual skills to help you feel secure in your life and relationships. Imagine a relationship without the drama, or finally feeling comfortable in your own skin. Let’s get you there.

For 15 years, I’ve helped people in Victoria navigate life's messy parts so they can feel truly confident. I don’t do "therapy by numbers." As Co-Director of Heart and Oak, I focus on fixing relationships and building up your self-worth. We’ll mix deep understanding with practical tools made just for you. No scripts—just a real plan to help you feel better.

I get it because I’ve walked this path myself. I’ve done the work to build a secure marriage and real confidence, so I know the terrain. We’ll go at your speed, with zero judgment. If you want a therapist who truly gets you—someone you can relax with and actually enjoy talking to while we work through the hard stuff—let’s connect.

Serving Victoria for 15 years, I've guided hundreds of clients through anxiety and relationship struggles. I'm a massive theory nerd—obsessed with Response-Based Practice and Narrative Therapy, which I translate into practical tools that actually help you feel better.

I specialize in relationships, self-worth, and anxiety. First, we target the specific areas keeping you stuck. Then, we unpack the context to gain deep insight. Finally, we build a practical toolkit of skills to replace old habits with ones that really work for you. My goal is to help you create real, lasting change—not just cope with the status quo.

Grounded in Response-Based Practice and Narrative Therapy, I help you understand and unpack the experiences that led you here. I view your struggles through an evolutionary lens—not as flaws, but as intelligent, adaptive survival responses. We focus on your dignity and how you've navigated life so far, amplifying what works and shifting what doesn't.

The Next Step: You don’t have to white-knuckle this alone anymore. Let’s get you to a place where you feel secure in yourself and connected in your relationships.
