“We tell our own stories because no one else can.”
Issa Rae

Story has always been at the heart of my work. I trained at acting school before moving into filmmaking, writing, directing and producing short films and documentaries while completing an MA, Writing.

I co-produced the first series of Q&A at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and later undertook the long, rigorous path to become a registered psychotherapist—work that has deepened my understanding of human stories and how they shape our lives.

I continually update my training to better support those I work with; most recently, I completed a course on using fairy tales in therapeutic spaces.

Whether in therapy, workshops, or creative settings, I braid somatic and trauma-informed practices with depth-oriented therapy, systemic constellations, attachment theory and the wisdom of fairy tales and mythology to explore the oft-unspoken stories carried in our bodies, families, and systems; to unlock generational patterns, forgotten aspects of self, and allow the stories waiting in the wings to emerge.

The stories we carry shape how we live and the art we make. Now more than ever, the world needs story-makers.

As host of The Storymakers’ Rebellion podcast, I have bold conversations with storytellers who flip the script. In 2024, my novel The Lost House was shortlisted for a national manuscript prize, and my work has been recognised in Australian and international development labs and competitions.
