In my work as a Clinical Psychologist, I value building an authentic therapeutic relationship where people feel safe to explore their inner world in a non-judgemental, empathic space. I work from an integrative approach to help people develop a deeper understanding of themselves and patterns that may be causing emotional suffering.
I completed my Master of Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne and have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. My therapeutic approach is predominantly informed by Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).
ISTDP is an active, psychodynamic therapy that explores how coping patterns and defences developed early in life contribute to emotional suffering. Working with both mind and body, it gently brings awareness to the feelings underlying these patterns. Over time, this work can help emotions be experienced more fully, supporting emotional freedom and wellbeing.
I’m most passionate about working with my clients to achieve not only symptom relief, but meaningful and lasting change that extends beyond therapy.
I'm also a clinical supervisor, providing supervision and guidance for provisional psychologists and registrars in training.
