As a registered psychologist, I offer a warm and empathetic therapeutic space for healing and growth. I believe that building a strong connection infused with humour and understanding is key to facilitating the counselling process. It is a true honour to be invited into your most personal cognitive and emotional experiences, and I hold that privilege with deep respect.
My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and holistic, recognizing that each individual is unique. I focus on your inherent talents, values, and goals, while also considering the personal, social, relational, and environmental factors that contribute to your mental health and psychological well-being.
I've gained extensive experience across diverse settings, including public hospitals, community health centres, university clinics, and private practice. This broad background has equipped me to provide both individual and group therapy, and I've also contributed to valuable research at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute.
