Meet Us

As Owner and Director of Treat Yourself Well Sydney, I lead an integrated, trauma informed and affirming practice focused on creating spaces of safety, belonging and thoughtful collaborative care. 

With over  20 years experience, I work with children, adolescents, adults, families and professionals supporting people navigating trauma, eating disorders, neurodivergence and complex life experiences. 

My approach is evidence based and transdiagnostic, while also recognising the unique intersection of identity, relationships and lived experience that shapes each person.

I am particularly interested in working with complexity, taking the time to understand patterns, build insight and support more compassionate and sustainable ways of relating to yourself. I am a systemic therapist appreciating the complex interplay of intersectionality, am neuroaffirming and trauma informed. Alongside my clinical work, I contribute to training, supervision and broader service development across the sector.  ​
