So how did I then get into Relationship Therapy and Sexology? After spending most of my 20s “hustling”, stressed and over-focused on achievements, I realised that what mattered most in life was relationships. The more clients I saw in my private practice, the more apparent it became that the quality of our lives really is reflected in the quality of our relationships.

My personal experiences also undoubtedly shape my work. Being queer, AuDHD, living with chronic illnesses and having faced my own challenges with mental health and “finding home”, I’m not immune to the throes of being human. 

I’d worked in corporate, magazine journalism and the health & fitness industry before I finally landed in the profession I love. At any given moment, I was often working 2+ jobs, studying full-time, interning and volunteering. I’d moved countries and cities multiple times, started a variety of side businesses, competed in body building and was basically “doing it all” unitl I burnt out (shock horror).

The writing was on the wall. I was on a productivity bender, obsessed with constantly achieving, striving for more and being busy. In the midst of it all, I couldn’t see it. Then one day I woke up and I couldn’t move my body. It felt like being shackled down by bricks. I’d developed chronic fatigue and it forever changed my life. While my health has never been the same since, it was one of the few things that steered me towards leading a more authentic, intentional life. 

When I’m not with clients, I’m at the beach, at a cafe writing, collaborating with peers, running workshops, producing a podcast, public speaking, creating educational content for my Instagram or getting 10k steps to counter balance my ludicrously sedentary lifestyle.

If you’re interested in therapy, the first step is to book a free 15-minute call. If you’d like to chat about any writing, speaking or workshop opportunities, you’re welcome to contact me.
