I specialize in treating adult clients who have had motor vehicle injury or workplace injury and who have PTSD and/or chronic pain as a result. I charge no additional out of pocket costs for TAC or Worksafe clients. I have extensive experience with treating TAC and Worksafe clients for PTSD, anxiety relating to the accident, persistent pain following the accident, and often with related stress, sleep, relationship and/or mood problems. I also see Medicare clients with similar presenting concerns.
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with over 12 years of experience treating these issues in inpatient and outpatient, hospital and private settings. I am also a registered Health Psychologist and am trained in EMDR therapy, which is a very effective, strongly evidence-based treatment for PTSD. More info on EMDR therapy: www.emdraa.org/emdr-resources
Seeing a Pain Psychologist does not mean that your pain is not real or "all in your head." Rather, it's like having a coach to help guide you to try things that could help: manage your symptoms, navigate stressors, manage and prevent flare ups, work through problems, try new psychological coping techniques and figure out how to move forward: www.zoffness.com

If you have a TAC or Workcover injury, the first 2-5 sessions will normally be spent working alongside you to create a detailed, individually tailored Psychology treatment plan for your insurer. We will then work with evidence-based methods (such as CBT and EMDR therapy) to help with your symptoms such as PTSD, persistent pain, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems.
