25+ years of experience in the Public Health system as an AHPRA Registered Psychologist and prior to this as a Registered General Nurse. I also have worked in the private sector, including with the Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention (AISRAP) and in Alcohol and Drug Inpatient Rehab Hospital. I work with how stress, anxiety, depression and trauma can affect the way in which we think and behave, how our mind often gets stuck and makes it difficult to be the way we want be. I work from a whole person perspective and while your challenges will be treated with respect and care, I also like to work with your strengths
I will work with you to find what helps improve your everyday mood, emotional responses and relationships. Recently I am furthering my interest and learning in Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) and look forward to working with more clients managing with this range of symptoms.
I have witnessed how re-leaned calm can give people back their intrinsic potential and motivation to live the life they want.
