As a Clinical Psychologist, I support individuals, couples, and families in navigating life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues, as well as those going through significant life transitions. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including individuals with ADHD and Autism, and I provide guidance for families seeking to improve communication and connection.
In addition to in-person sessions in Melbourne, I offer Telehealth services across Australia and internationally. This allows me to make therapy more accessible, flexible, and convenient, while maintaining the same high level of care. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to each client.
Drawing on CBT, DBT, systemic therapy, and other evidence-based models, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel understood and supported. Whether you are seeking individual therapy, couples therapy, or family therapy, my goal is to help you build resilience, improve relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
