I am a Clinical Psychologist, Researcher, and Founder of The Calming Suite in Clarence Park South Australia. My greatest passion as a Psychologist is helping youth (12 - 30) with Eating Disorders, and related issues such as Anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder, Trauma, Body Image concerns, Bullying, and Suicidality. The greatest gift as a Psychologist is watching so many beautiful individuals often in severe hurt, pain, and darkness, with no hope for the future, take that leap of faith with me and completely transform their life. Seeing a smile back on their face and hope through their eyes is everything.
My academic background spans across 17 years at University, with 5 completed University degrees across fields of Psychology, Neurology, Nutrition, Junior Primary/Primary/high school Dance Education, and Journalism. Within my practice, I draw upon this incredible body of knowledge to inspire my clients, and transform their lives.
If you are someone who is feeling trapped, stuck, completely lost. Really want to change, but just don't know how, or perhaps tried before and did not recover. I warmly invite you to have a gentle conversation about how I could support you in a way that you need and deserve. Make today the day it all changes because you are so worth it!
