Story has been embedded throughout my life. The daughter of a Lithuanian refugee father and an Australian mother infused my life with tales of displacement, survival, adversity, and hope.

I walked through the door of my first Jungian therapist at twenty, and have been blessed to find a handful of deeply skilled practitioners and supervisors, each of whom transformed my life at times I needed it most. Vastly different practitioners but for one aspect – the tender, compassionate therapeutic alliance. Each modelled how inner landscape, our relationships with others, myth, and intuitive awareness can open pathways to healing.

I don’t separate my biography from my practice. A CV lists achievements, but obscures lived experience. It is within these invisible crevices that much of my work happens — exploring the impact of dominant cultural narratives on our bodies, relationships & lives.

Alongside over fifteen years of psychotherapeutic work, I have worked across the creative arts: co-produced Q&A (ABC TV) & written a shortlisted novel and present a podcast, The Storymakers’ Rebellion.

How I Work

Be it workshops, presentations, or 1:1 client work, my role is to meet what is present in the room. I integrate somatic and trauma-informed practices with depth-oriented therapy, systemic family constellation work, attachment theory, folk tales, and mythology and work with generational patterns and overlooked aspects of self. To allow what has been unspoken in the body, the family system, and lived experience to come into view in a more integrated form. Story arises not only through voice, but through the body, through shadow, silence and desire.

Meaningful change is possible for everyone.
