Guided by Experience: Helping You Overcome and Thrive

About Me

Born and raised in Melbourne, I was fortunate to grow up in a culturally diverse environment shaped by my Eastern European heritage. From a young age, I was drawn to people’s stories, curious about how our different backgrounds influence who we are. But my journey into counselling isn’t just about understanding others—it’s deeply personal.

From the age of 12, I struggled severely with depression and anxiety. I know firsthand the weight of feeling trapped by your own thoughts and the courage it takes to seek help. Finding freedom from those struggles changed my life, and it’s why I’m so passionate about helping others do the same. I want to be the support for others that I needed during that time.

As someone who has navigated both the personal and professional sides of mental health, I’ve spent years gaining experience and knowledge in areas such as mental health, substance abuse, and disability care. Working in the disability sector has given me even deeper insight into resilience, patience, and the power of tailored, compassionate support.

I’m a firm believer that everyone deserves to be heard, and I’m here to listen—to truly listen—to your story. Whether you’re seeking help for mental health concerns, relationship challenges, or simply a listening ear, I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey to healing and growth.

While I offer Christian counselling for those seeking spiritual guidance, my approach is inclusive, welcoming individuals from all faiths and backgrounds. My goal is to empower you to find independence, strength, and confidence in your own decision-making, just as I’ve found in my own journey.
