About Sage
Sage is a general psychologist who works from a relational perspective grounded in curiosity, compassion, and safety. She believes much of our emotional pain stems from disruptions in attachment, challenges to belonging, and the impact of trauma — and her work centres on creating a secure, supportive space where you can explore your story, deepen your self-understanding, and move toward healing and growth.
She completed her Master of Clinical Psychology at Queensland University of Technology, following an Honours degree in Psychology, and is now a generally registered psychologist undertaking the Clinical Psychology Registrar program. It's been a long road — one that taught her not only clinical skill, but how to sit with uncertainty, hold self-doubt gently, and keep compassion and curiosity at the centre of the work.
Long before she chose psychology, Sage saved a line from Judith Herman that still sits at the centre of how she understands healing: that recovery happens in connection with others, not in isolation. Working alongside people as they rebuild that connection is a responsibility she holds with real care.

Her approach
Sage's approach is relational, attachment- and trauma-informed, and person-centred. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, she's interested in understanding the relationships and experiences that have shaped how you feel and cope — and working alongside you at a pace that feels safe.
Sage draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, tailored to you rather than applied off a shelf — including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), chairwork, Schema Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, and psychodynamic-informed practice. She has also completed foundational training in Circle of Security.
Therapy with Sage may help you feel more understood, build steadier relationships, and develop a clearer sense of your own patterns — though everyone's experience of therapy is different, and progress isn't linear.
Experience
Sage has worked across public health and private practice, in settings spanning neurodevelopmental assessment, family support, and relational therapy. Her clinical experience includes supporting children and families adjusting to significant diagnoses, working with autistic and ADHD clients across the lifespan, and providing individual and family therapy for relationships under stress.
She also works part-time with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community health service, where she has learned a great deal about practising in ways that are trauma-informed and culturally responsive. She approaches this work with humility — as an ongoing practice of listening and learning rather than expertise she claims — and it has deepened her commitment to meeting people with respect for their history, context, and the systems they've had to navigate.
Across all of these settings, a consistent thread runs through her work: an interest in how development, attachment, trauma, and relationships intersect, and a belief that healing happens in connection with others.
Who she works with
Sage works with adults and parents across Australia, online. She's especially drawn to working with people navigating relationship patterns, complex or relational trauma, neurodivergence, reproductive and perinatal mental health, and the disorientation of relocation or cultural change.
