Take the first step toward reclaiming your sense of peace, power, and possibility. Healing starts here.
I am a Specialist Psychotherapist (Trauma) based in Adelaide, Australia, using evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic therapy.
Drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience, I help individuals move beyond survival mode — feeling safe in their body, regulated in their nervous system, and whole in their sense of self.

Cross-Cultural Competence
Lived Experience

History Taking: The therapist gathers information about the client’s history and identifies target memories for processing.
Preparation: The therapist explains the EMDR process, establishes a trusting therapeutic relationship, and teaches the client self-soothing techniques.
Assessment: The client identifies specific memories to target, along with negative beliefs associated with those memories.
Desensitization: Using bilateral stimulation (often through guided eye movements), the therapist helps the client reprocess the traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge.
Installation: The client focuses on positive beliefs they wish to integrate while continuing bilateral stimulation.
Body Scan: The therapist guides the client in noticing any residual tension or discomfort in the body, helping to release these physical manifestations of trauma.
Closure: The therapist assists the client in returning to a state of equilibrium, ensuring they feel safe and stable before leaving the session.
Reevaluation: In subsequent sessions, the therapist checks in on the progress made and addresses any new material that may have emerged.
Rapid Results
Many clients experience significant relief from symptoms in a relatively short number of sessions.

Complex Trauma or Phobias
Identifying Brainspots: The therapist guides the client to focus on a specific issue or traumatic memory. As the client speaks about their experience, the therapist helps them identify "brainspots," or eye positions that correspond to the intensity of their emotional response.
Focusing on the Brainspot: Once a brainspot is identified, the client maintains their gaze on that specific spot. This focus helps access deeper emotional and physiological experiences, allowing the brain to process and integrate unresolved trauma.
Processing: As the client remains focused on the brainspot, they may experience a range of emotions or sensations. The therapist supports the client in processing these feelings, facilitating a natural healing response.
Closure and Integration: After processing, the therapist helps the client return to a state of equilibrium, ensuring they feel safe and grounded. The session often concludes with discussions about insights gained and how to integrate these experiences into daily life.
Direct Access to Trauma
Brainspotting allows clients to access and process traumatic memories that may be difficult to articulate or confront through traditional talk therapy.
Reduced Emotional Distress
Many individuals experience a decrease in anxiety, depression, and other symptoms after sessions, often leading to profound emotional relief.
Holistic Healing
The technique addresses both the emotional and physical manifestations of trauma, promoting a sense of overall well-being.
Flexibility
Brainspotting can be adapted to various therapeutic contexts, including individual therapy, group sessions, and even remote or online therapy.
