I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience understanding the complexities within relationships, providing support to both individuals, couples, and families. I help clients improve communication, navigate conflict, and strengthen emotional connection. I also work with anxiety, depression, and life transitions using evidence-based therapies. I have national experience conducting psychological assessments in Family Law matters, including psychological risk evaluations, ASD, ADHD, and FASD. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address the needs of my clients.
My academic research focuses on ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with particular emphasis on challenges during developmental transitions. I have received specialist training in personality disorders, family therapy—including work with couples and same-sex couples—and psychological interventions tailored to the LGBT+ community.
I provide therapeutic intervention (including CBT and ACT) for both individuals, couples, and families, working to address core psychological concerns rather than simply managing surface-level symptoms. My approach is direct and firm, targeting the root causes of mental health difficulties rather than applying bandaid-like interventions.

I offer Medicare-rebated sessions for individuals and provide a sliding scale to support affordability. I believe therapy should be accessible to all and do my best to ensure financial circumstances do not prevent individuals from receiving support.

As part of the LGBTQIA community, I understand its unique stressors. It can be challenging to express certain experiences or explain the language common within our community to those outside of it. Therefore, my aim is to foster an environment where explanation isn't a prerequisite to empathy. My treatment approach champions understanding of cultural identity and individual experiences.
