About Psychodynamic Therapy
Drawing on 15 years of experience as a therapist, I began my journey in Music Therapy, specialising in music psychotherapy—an integrative approach that brings together talk therapy and creative expression.
My practice is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, and I place a strong emphasis on empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I aim to create a felt sense of safety and connection, as I believe a trusting relationship is the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.
I’ve worked across both private practice and community settings, offering psychotherapy, music therapy, and behaviour support to a diverse range of people.

About Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is a type of talk therapy that focuses on your relationships—both past and present. It looks at how your early experiences, especially with important people in your life, may still be shaping how you think, feel, and connect with others today.
Sometimes, things we’re not fully aware of—like buried feelings or old patterns—can quietly influence our reactions and choices. This kind of therapy helps bring those hidden parts into the open in a safe and supportive way.
Rather than just easing symptoms in the moment, psychodynamic therapy aims to help you understand the deeper “why” behind what you’re going through, so you can create more lasting change and feel more in control of your life.

Sometimes we don’t know exactly where things started or why we feel the way we do—but we can usually sense when something isn’t quite right, or when it’s getting in the way of living the life we want.
I can support you in working through those stuck places—whether that shows up as past trauma, trust issues, repeated relationship patterns, ongoing anxiety, ongoing depression, or a difficult relationship with yourself or your emotions.
We can start with a simple conversation, beginning with what you already know and what feels important to you. From there, we’ll make sense of things together and create a plan that feels right for you.
I offer 50min sessions in person at West End, Brisbane - or online.
NDIS funding may be utilised.
Qualifications and Experience
I hold a Master’s in Music Therapy, with additional qualifications in Positive Behaviour Support. My training also includes therapeutic work with complex trauma, adult intellectual disability and mental health, and Neurological Music Therapy.
Alongside my clinical work, I bring 14 years of experience in executive and organisational leadership—a perspective that shapes how I understand people, systems, and the pressures of modern life.
I’m currently completing postgraduate training with the Australian and New Zealand Association for Psychotherapy (ANZAP) in the Conversational Model for Adult Psychotherapy, continuing to deepen my practice and commitment to meaningful, long-term change.
