I am a clinical psychologist with a passion for helping people live more meaningful and fulfilled lives.
I am a clinical psychologist with a passion for helping people live more meaningful and fulfilled lives. My style is relaxed and down to earth to ensure you have a comfortable, non-judgemental space to explore your inner thoughts and emotions.
I will work collaboratively with you to enhance your self-awareness and confidence in pursuit of your goals. I am skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of adults and adolescents with a wide range of mental health concerns including stress, low mood, depression, anxiety, self-harm and emotion regulation difficulties. I have significant experience supporting people living with chronic physical health conditions.
I will take the time to understand your needs and preferences in therapy, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy. I use a strength-based approach which emphasises individuals’ resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity.
I completed a Master of Psychology (Clinical Psychology) from Western Sydney University and hold undergraduate qualifications from the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University and Monash University. I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), Australian Clinical Psychological Association (ACPA) and an Adjunct Fellow at Western Sydney University. I am also a Board Approved Supervisor and provide supervision services to psychology trainees and registrars.
Outside of work I enjoy the simple things in life like reading, cooking, beach time and spending time with my family and pets.
