Who we are

I’m here to help you tackle life’s ups and downs with a smile (and maybe a bit of humour!).

With a Bachelor’s in Social Science (Psychology) and a Master’s in Social Work (Professional Qualifying) from Charles Sturt University, I’ve got the education to back me up. But let’s be real—what really matters is the passion I have for supporting individuals and families on their unique journeys.

I started Stellar Therapies because I wanted to create a space where people could feel safe, supported, and understood. My adventure in this field began in 2012 as a volunteer with a suicide prevention hotline. I quickly realised I loved helping others navigate their struggles, so I jumped into addictions counselling, specialising in gambling, in 2017. I also took a detour as a program coordinator for a young offenders program. Talk about a wild ride!

Now, I specialise in

• Perinatal mental health
• Child and infant loss
• Infertility
• Child and adolescent counselling
• and relationship counselling

I like to think of my approach as the perfect blend of Australian mateship culture—think support, connection, and maybe a good laugh or two. I believe everyone’s journey is their own, so I take a holistic, client-centred approach that respects your unique path. Plus, I’ve got training in addictions, grief, trauma, play therapy, and neurodivergence, and I sprinkle in some CBT and DBT skills for good measure!

When I’m not busy helping clients, you can find me wrangling my two energetic kids, two playful dogs, a cat with a big personality, and six ducks that probably think they run the place. Born and raised in Wagga Wagga, I’ve always been a travel addict, which is why I tied the knot in beautiful Ireland in 2023. And just to add a dash of creativity to my life, I taught myself how to crochet, sew, and knit—though I can’t promise you won’t find some of my projects looking a little… unique!

I can’t wait to meet you and support you on your journey. Remember, we’re in this together—laughter included!
