I am a registered psychologist and art therapist, with 8 years of clinical experience. I have worked with adults, young people, and couples in a variety of public and private health settings including community health, inpatient programs, and relationship support services such as Relationships Australia.

I am passionate about exploring how traumatic experiences and attachment patterns impact on our mental health, sense of well-being and life decisions. I have a strong interest in mind-body connection and integrating cognitive, emotional, somatic, and creative techniques to facilitate healing and growth. I see myself as a warm and empathic guide here to assist you in reaching your goals. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, strength-based, and culturally sensitive. I have experience working with trauma-related concerns, depression, anxiety issues, family violence, disordered eating, grief & loss, relationship and parenting concerns, pregnancy, adolescent’s issues, cross- cultural & adjustment challenges and creative blocks. I also have a strong interest and experience in facilitating art therapy groups with adults and young people.

My therapeutic work is informed by the following approaches: Internal Family Systems Model, Art Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I offer counselling in English and Farsi.
