he/him

With over two decades of experience, I am a psychologist based in North Perth, Western Australia, supporting adults with complex traumaanxietyaddictionrelationship concerns, and a wide range of mental health difficulties. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life, including military veteransemergency services professionals, and others navigating intense or prolonged stress.

I accept referrals through the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) and Open Arms, and offer a warm, grounded space where healing begins with genuine human connection—not just diagnosis.

Therapy Built on Trust, Not Labels

Before considering any diagnosis or treatment plan, I take the time to understand your unique story, values, and challenges. I believe that authentic connection is the foundation of good therapy. You will be met with respect, curiosity, and compassion—whether you’re navigating recent life stress or longstanding emotional pain.

In therapy, we work collaboratively to explore your experience, make sense of what’s happening, and find strategies that work for you—not a one-size-fits-all model.

🎖️ Psychologist for Veterans and First Responders

I have worked extensively with military personnelveterans, and first responders, and deeply understand the layered, cumulative nature of trauma in these roles. Whether you are processing deployment, service-related trauma, or life post-discharge, I offer a respectful and confidential space to explore the impact on your mental health, relationships, and sense of identity.

In addition to clinical practice, I have a strong interest in sports psychology. I play squash regularly and coach under-7s soccer, which gives me insight into the psychological demands of performance, competition, teamwork, and emotional regulation. I bring this lens into therapy for those seeking to build resilience, focus, and mental strength—whether in sport, work, or daily life.

📍 Local and Accessible

I’m based in North Perth, working with clients from surrounding suburbs including but not limited to LeedervilleMount HawthornMount LawleySubiacoHighgate, and West Perth. Whether you’re facing trauma, burnout, relationship difficulties, or searching for deeper self-understanding, I’m here to support you in building a more grounded, connected, and meaningful life.
