Hello, I’m a qualified Jungian psychoanalyst, psychoanalytic psychotherapist and clinical supervisor based in Bondi Junction/Woollhara, NSW.

I am a senior member and Training Analyst member of The Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts (ANZSJA) and also a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP).

What I Do

As a Jungian psychoanalyst and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I offer psychotherapy and psychoanalysis within a safe, confidential and thoughtful environment to both individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional difficulties and distress which interfere with their capacity to engage positively with life and relationships.
