If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious, I’m glad you’re here. I’m the Principal Clinical Psychologist at Greylight Psychology, with over 10 years’ experience helping teens and adults across Australia overcome anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches including Schema Therapy, ACT, and ERP, delivered via secure, Medicare-rebated Telehealth sessions. My approach is grounded in warmth and a deep respect for your unique story. Your goals, needs, and values guide our work together, and when you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I specialise in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), including Pure-O, and work extensively with schema therapy to help shift entrenched patterns of self-criticism, self sabotage, & attachment trauma. I also support recovery from anxiety disorders, and I’m a strong advocate for safe tapering & informed consent regarding psychotropic medications.
My goal is to make these initial difficult steps as safe and comfortable as possible. If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to connect and help you explore what genuine, lasting change could look like for you.
