I'm a Clinical Psychologist and Academic. After completing my PhD in Australia, I did a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship as a Fulbright Scholar at Stanford University in the United States. Outside of my private practice, I'm now also a Senior Lecturer at Curtin University. I have authored over 100 journal articles and book chapters on emotion regulation and mental health. In therapy, I enjoy working with people to help them achieve their goals and live more fulfilling lives. I aim to help people reflect on what would take their life in meaningful directions, and build the skills to handle the challenges that come up along the way.
I try to create a warm, friendly environment, where people can feel comfortable discussing key areas of their life. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to clients’ individual needs and goals (e.g., cognitive behaviour therapy, schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy).
If you would like to book an appointment or have questions, feel free to contact me via phone or email.
