A little about me

How I Became a Counsellor

I was born in Argentina and raised in Sydney. My path into counselling was personal long before it was professional.


Like many people, I was once told there was something wrong with me. That I needed fixing. So I did what most people do: I tried harder. I read more, reflected more, and worked on myself constantly.And yet, something still felt unsettled.Over time, I began to understand that much of my struggle made sense. It was shaped by relationships, family dynamics, expectations, and experiences that had slowly chipped away at my self-trust. That realisation changed how I saw everything. I stopped viewing people, including myself, as problems to be fixed. I became interested in patterns instead. How we adapt. How we cope. How we survive emotionally in ways that once protected us but later begin to hurt.That curiosity is what led me into this work.


Who I HelpToday, I work with people who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in overthinking, worn down by relationships, or disconnected from themselves.If you are feeling this way, you might catch yourself thinking:

  • “I don’t even recognise myself lately.”
  • “I’m tired of thinking about this all the time.”
  • “Why do I keep reacting like this?”
  • “On the outside I look fine, but I’m not.”

In our work together, we will slow things down and make sense of what is happening beneath the surface, not just your thoughts, but your emotions, your patterns, and the deeper drivers behind them. 


I continue to study and learn because this work matters deeply to me. I am currently completing my Honours year in psychology and remain committed to ongoing professional development.


But outside the therapy room, I am living a full, real life too. I navigate relationships, family, change, uncertainty, and growth. I understand firsthand how complex it can feel to hold it all together.


If you are looking for a counsellor who is warm, honest, and able to sit with the messy parts of being human, I would be glad to work with you.

How We Will Work Together

Counselling and Coaching is deeply personal, and so is my approach. My clients describe me as empathetic, present, and real. I create space for emotions without judgment while also offering practical tools for growth.


Here’s what you can expect:

  • A space to process and heal past experiences.
  • Guidance to help you gain clarity and self-awareness.
  • Tools to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
  • A collaborative approach where your voice and goals guide the process.


I’m not a "blank slate" therapist - I bring my full self into the room. I’ll reflect, share insights, and, when helpful, offer perspectives that help you feel less isolated or stuck. We’ll walk this path together, one step at a time.

Schedule your first session

We are a good fit if -

  • You’re ready to commit to your personal growth and emotional well-being.


  • You are looking for a down-to-earth, collaborative therapy experience.

 We are not a good fit if - 

  • You’re looking for a highly clinical, directive, or rigidly structured approach to therapy.


  • You prefer a therapist who leads every session and gives step-by-step advice or solutions.


  • You’re not open to reflection, exploration, or receiving gentle, honest feedback.

Professional Training & Qualifications

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Counselling (Coaching) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology. My work is trauma-informed, and I have completed additional professional training in the following areas:

Emotional Focus Therapy (EFT)

Attachment Theory in Clinical Practice

Advanced Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals

Precision Nutrition Level 1 (PN1)

My unique combination of training allows me to bring a holistic perspective to counselling, addressing the emotional, physical, and behavioural elements of well-being. Whether we’re working on unresolved childhood wounds, relationship struggles, or personal growth, I integrate evidence-based tools with a deep understanding of the mind-body connection.
