STEADY MIND, OPEN HEART, LOVING RELATIONSHIPS

Our human experience is much like the ocean - vast, deep, changing, and a sense that a lot of what inhabits inside is unknown. We also host an entire ecosystem of life within - an interdependent tapestry of thought, feeling, emotion and sensation.

At times, we may feel washed around by the tides of our emotion, as if we were at the mercy of an uncontrollable force within. The habituation of reactivity clouds our perception, closes our heart and leaves us feeling alone and disconnected. We are lost at sea and don’t know what will guide us back to shore.

Just as the ocean is moved by the winds and the moon, we too are moved by those around us. Relationships are the heartbeat of our experience - we largely depend on others for our happiness, survival and wellbeing, and what we say and do impacts one another. Relationships shape our personal histories, experiences of oppression and how safe we feel in the world. Our very physiology is influenced by those around us.

The pathway to our healing is relational and it begins with examining how we relate to ourself.

The heart of my work is about supporting people to challenge reactivity and break cycles of disconnection through trauma-informed, soul-centric and social justice-oriented psychotherapy and relationship therapy.

I’m honoured to be a queer-centred, neurodivergent affirming and sex worker-allied practitioner providing therapeutic support online across Australia.
