I am a psychologist with over 20 years’ experience working with adults. I work from a peaceful setting in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast.

My work is grounded in warmth, authenticity, and careful attention to each person’s individual story and needs.

What I find most inspiring in this work is seeing people develop ways of relating to themselves and others that may not have been available to them in their earlier experiences - whether that be responding to themselves with greater understanding and care, developing a stronger inner sense of guidance and support, or reconnecting with strengths and aspects of themselves that may have become hidden beneath distress, self-protection, or the expectations of others.

Over the years, I have come to appreciate how often the difficulties people struggle with today become more understandable when viewed in the context of their earlier experiences. What initially appears as self-criticism, perfectionism, anxiety, or difficulty in relationships often reflects ways people adapted to earlier experiences or tried to protect themselves from emotional pain. I continue to find it moving to witness the shift that can occur when people begin to understand themselves through this more compassionate lens.

I chose the name The Healing Time because many people arrive at therapy sensing, deep down, that they want more than symptom management - they long for greater self-understanding, healing, growth, and a different way of relating to themselves.

Healing takes time, and my hope is that therapy offers a safe and supportive space for that process to gradually unfold.
